What started as one simple interview in a park about corn on the cob, has now turned into a wild ride of nothing but fun and adventure for the young New York City resident. After his interview with Recess Therapy went viral on TikTok, the doors opened for Logan to enjoy a "corntastic" journey.

His viral interview was turned into a catchy song that TikTokers couldn't escape for a while. It was popping up as fast as popcorn everywhere!

Logan was then named the "Corn-Bassador" of South Dakota, was interviewed by Drew Barrymore on "The Drew Barrymore Show," appeared on the Green Giant's float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, was interviewed by Kenan Thompson and Kevin Hart, and collaborated with wildly popular YouTuber MrBeast more than once. He has also walked the red carpet for a few movies and recently the Broadway show, "Shucked."

Logan's love of corn has taken him far, and it appears he's far from retiring his corn cob.
