Smosh, YouTube's Longtime Beloved Comedy Duo, Releases Second Feature Film

Q&A with the Ghostmates creators

Smosh launched on YouTube more than 11 years ago as the brainchild of two friends with a video camera and a vision. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox started uploading their sketch comedy clips to their own website and even Myspace before finding a weird new platform called YouTube.

Since then, the Smosh channel has gained over 22 million subscribers. It's also branched out into many new channels, including Smosh Games with nearly 7 million subscribers, and a bonus content channel created in 2005 with 5 million subscribers.
