Job interviews can be daunting, with hiring managers known to throw around intimating questions. But one woman's response to a fairly common interview question has surprised viewers on social media, leaving them in hysterics with her peculiar answer.
The woman, who goes by @haleyfernandes__, on TikTok, had taken to the platform on June 25 to share what went down in a recent job interview. While driving her car, she candidly told viewers: "I got asked in a job interview last week to name one person that I admire the most that I've never met, hmmm, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Ellen DeGeneres, I said Tana Mongeau." The short clip has racked up over 777,000 views and more than 110,000 likes, sparking a flurry of amused comments from viewers. The post was humorously captioned: "I’m incapable of lying."
When Newsweek reached out to @haleyfernandes__, she said that she does not have much to say about her unexpected moment of viral attention and jokingly offered an apology to TV personality Ellen DeGeneres, whom she mentioned in her clip.

Tana Mongeau is a social-media personality, YouTuber, and reality television star known for her unfiltered storytelling and online presence. Rising to fame through YouTube in the mid-2010s, Mongeau gained a massive following by sharing personal anecdotes, often involving her relationships, lifestyle, and run-ins with other influencers. She later starred in her own MTV reality show and made headlines with a high-profile, though not legally binding, wedding to fellow influencer Jake Paul.
Viewers on TikTok were quick to poke fun at the creator's response in the interview.
"There’s a few people that come to mind, but I put Tana on my list. She’s hilarious," one viewer said, while another added: "This is so funny [because] even before I got to the end of the video my first thought was Tana even though I’ve met her."
"Out of the options you provided, Tana was the best one," a third said.
"Tana would be the best out of all those options," a fourth added.
"Actually, think that was the best answer out of all of those," a different viewer commented. "Except I know of Tana but know nothing of her, so they may not know her either."
"Tana raised a lot of us so, valid," another said.
