Your first TikTok - if indeed you're ever likely to make one - should be memorable, and when you're a newly awarded Golden Globe winner you have to raise the stakes a little bit higher.

Cue the comedy genius of Jennifer Coolidge. As she debuted her TikTok game she showed the world that she means business.

She makes everything sound funny. I think Coolidge could list her grocery items and it would be comedy gold. In this case though, she does use a rather grand word of 'poem' to describe the lyrics from a fellow Jennifer.

"Hi," says Coolidge. "This is my first TikTok and, uh, I was trying to think of something cool to do and I think I'm, um... I think I'm just gonna do a poem that I like."

"Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got," declares Coolidge. "I'm still Jenny... Jenny... Jenny from the block."

She then pans the camera to her right, revealing Jennifer Lopez sitting in a chair, judging her performance.

J-Lo proclaims: "I like that. I really really like that."

Reese Whitherspoon, the actress, commented on the post with three laughing face emojis, and thousands of comments from other social media users on the site have been left.

The comeback queen, 61, earned raves on social media for her TikTok debut, more than making up for the poor reviews that have plagued Lopez's new romcom Shotgun Wedding, in which Coolidge plays J.Lo's future mother-in-law.

Coolidge is proof, if it were needed, that she's entering her coolest phase in her sixth decade.
