After posting TikTok videos for weeks documenting his dirt-cheap delights — like dumplings and peanut-sauce noodles for $3 each from Chinatown — the economical entertainer wound up gifting a hefty $1.58 tip to subway station drummers. He then burned his last $2.75 on subway fare, despite jumping the gate for weeks to save dozens of dollars.

“With only $2.75 left, it only made sense to not hop the turnstile,” Hoy joked in the 59-second clip.
