Where it all started: 'Do it lady!' Renshaw's first skit is the now-viral skit that features the memorable line, "Do it lady!", where Chit's coworkers are confused when he writes "Do it lady!" in a birthday card intended for a colleague's surprise office party. Despite their confusion, Chit attempts to convince everyone that it is a genuine catchphrase. What they do not understand is that the phrase is actually Chit's way of saying 'You go, girl!' or 'Yes, girl!' 'Black purse' The second viral skit that left the internet in stitches is the 'Black purse' skit where Chit walks in the office and asks: 'Is there a black person in here?' which again left his co-workers confused because his black co-worker, Linda is in the room along with the other two white co-workers. Only to find out that he actually meant 'Is there a black purse in here?' as he sees it and reaches for it when Linda is about to confront him for what he is saying. The internet loves Chit Renshaw and Kennedy continue to make other comedic skits which are being loved by the internet just as much as the viral two skits and Renshaw shared on his TikTok bio that new episodes of 'The Chit Show' will be dropped weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The internet has been loving Chit, and many have shared videos saying that the catchphrase 'Do it lady!' has been their favourite phrase to randomly say out loud, or they have now added it to their vocabulary.

Renshaw in the runs but Australia A beaten in Darwin
Matt Renshaw has continued his return to runs by producing a swashbuckling century in Australia A's 51-run loss to Sri Lanka A. Renshaw hit 106 from 75 balls for the hosts in Darwin on Sunday as Australia A lost 8-65 to be all out for 243 in reply to the visitors' 7-294. The Queenslander's century included nine boundaries and two sixes, coming after he also hit 80 in an emphatic win over Sri Lanka A on Friday. Renshaw drove powerfully against the spinners, hitting Dushan Hemantha inside-out over cover for a six and plundering several boundaries through the region. He brought up his century off 70 balls when he worked Mohamed Shiraz to the the fine-leg boundary, before holing out in the deep off Hematha shortly after. After initially being considered one of the country's most conservative batters, Renshaw has risen to power in the white-ball game in recent years. South Australia's Liam Scott also contributed, making 53 before the Australia A tail fell apart and medium-pacer Pramod Madushan finished with 4-37. Earlier, Australia A's bowlers struggled to make inroads with Jack Nisbett finishing with 2-58 from his 10 overs and Sam Elliott 2-30 off three overs.. Renshaw's spinners also came in handy as he took 1-31 from eight overs. Sri Lanka's innings was built around Nuwanidu Fernando's stylish 82 from 90 balls, laced with two sixes and five fours. And opener Lasith Croospulle also struck a half-century, hitting two sixes in his 63 from 70 deliveries.

'The Chit Show,' a new social media sketch comedy, has fans in stitches
Millions of social media users probably can't stop repeating the quirky catchphrase: "Do it lady!" A new TikTok sketch comedy, known as "The Chit Show," has gone viral since launching in May. The series of short social media videos follows Chit, a slightly awkward and slightly hunched office worker who sports a mean bowl cut and Jeffrey Dahmer-style glasses. As of July 3, "The Chit Show" had garnered more than 1 million followers on TikTok and now has its own merchandise line. The series seemingly gained popularity for its likeness to the sitcom, "The Office," due to its quick camera turns and characters who break the fourth wall to make prolonged eye contact with the viewer. The man behind Chit, Jay Renshaw, created the middle-aged character about six years ago. Renshaw is a member of The Groundlings Main Company, an improv school and talent group based in Los Angeles. He created Chit for a solo skit performance while part of "The Groundlings" amateur sketch comedy show. The initial skit Renshaw performed as Chit was the now-viral, "Do it lady!" In the skit, Chit and his coworkers are signing a birthday card for a coworker, in which Chit writes: "Do it lady!" His colleagues are confused by the sentiment. As his peers wonder what he means, Chit tries his best to convince everyone that "Do it lady!" is a real catchphrase. As of July 3, the "Do it lady!" TikTok video had more than 8.6 million views. Chit is the main character of "The Chit Show." A middle-aged man with a silly and awkward personality, Chit doesn't appear to get much work done, as seen in many of the TikTok videos. But he cares about his colleagues, loves listening to Lil Wayne and Chappell Roan and can down a White Claw (of course, while on the clock). As for the name, Renshaw said "Chit" is a play on words. "It sounds like a small, ineffectual thing. Also, it has like a rhyme ... which has been so helpful to us to have Chit Show sound like (expletive) show," Renshaw told USA TODAY. "It just sounds something diminutive. The actual word means a little pay stub receipt, so it just fits his nature. It feels like also the relation of chitchat. There's so many possibilities." Renshaw and his colleague, Kiel Kennedy, who mans the camera and is an off-screen character in the sketch comedy, posted the first Chit video to TikTok on May 28. The video, as of July 3, had more than 6.3 million views. Currently, Renshaw and Kennedy film videos about twice a week, posting a new video every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Renshaw, who is the main writer of the show, said sometimes he pre-writes scripts verbatim as he wants to see them executed. Sometimes he comes in with a loose framework, and then other times, he and Kennedy just work out an entire idea together while filming. "The thing about social media is you get such a real-time response from your audience as to what they're really responding to and maybe what they're not," Renshaw said. "It's not to say we would ever deviate so far from what we intend for the series, but it can be helpful sometimes to know how to adjust the dial on certain characters based on the audience response." Social media users are loving Chit, especially his antics. "Someone get them on TV or a streaming service (please)," one TikTok user commented. Renshaw, who said he was off all social media from 2016 until launching the Chit series in May, said the outpouring of support online has been a bit like "whiplash." "I remember the first night I posted on TikTok, you were like, 'Yeah, I bet we could get to 50,000 in a month,'" Renshaw said to Kennedy. "I was like no way. That just seemed unfathomable. Fast forward to a million in a month. I still can't really wrap my head around it honestly." But beyond the follower count, Renshaw said it is the community that has come together around Chit that makes him proud. "I think equally delightful is seeing just how many audiences Chit has reached and touched," Renshaw said. "Just when I think (Chit) sort of extended his reach as far as it'll go, I find out there's a whole different demographic that is also loving Chit just as much. It's been this strangely universal thing, which (has), I think, been maybe the most rewarding part of it." When asked about the future of "The Chit Show," Renshaw and Kennedy both said they are open to taking the comedy series wherever it leads. But most importantly, they want to stay true to Chit. "I think ultimately the goal is just to maintain the integrity of what we've created and protect the character because he's so beloved, not only by us, but by so many people now that we don't want to get involved in a process that would disrupt what we've made," Renshaw said. "We're definitely staying vigilant about not only potential opportunity for the show but also protecting what it is and the unique charm that it does have."
