Elyse Myers is an American social media influencer, comedian, and musician from Nebraska. She gained notoriety on TikTok with an account of her worst date during which she purchased 100 tacos.[1]
Myers was raised in California.[2] She played viola in high school.[3]
Myers's October 2021 video recounting of her worst date went viral on TikTok. In it, a man tricks her into buying 100 tacos,[4] and "Let's Feast" became a memorable phrase from the experience.[1] The video took off almost immediately, and the sudden fame startled her.[5] Her subsequent videos on TikTok and Instagram focused on sharing funny moments from her everyday life.[6]
In October 2022, Myers launched the podcast Funny Cuz It's True with Lemonada Media and Powderkeg Media.[4][7][8]
Myers seeks to "promote mental well-being and compassion".[9] Myers is candid in her videos and promotes body positivity.[1][10][11] She supports the Humane Society and organizations for foster children.[11]
She is introverted and has ADHD and anxiety.[1][6]
Myers lived in Sydney from 2014 to 2016.[12][dead link] She moved to Nebraska with her husband, Jonas, in 2017.[2] The two live in the Omaha area with their sons, August and Oliver, and dog, Bauer.[2][4][10] Myers experienced postpartum depression after the birth of her first child.[3]
In early 2024, Myers removed all content from her TikTok account, while remaining active on other platforms. She has spoken openly about her infant son's open heart surgery and her depression, with some fellow TikTokers suggesting she was also harassed by Pro-Palestinian content creators over not speaking up regarding the Israel–Hamas war taking place at that time.[13]
