Kassem Gharaibeh ( Arabic: قاسم الغرايبة; born October 10, 1983) is an American Internet personality and host of Attack of the Show! [2] His YouTube channel Kassem G hosts several hundred videos, most notably the California On, Going Deep and Street Music webseries. [3] He won the 2013 Streamy Award for Best Host for his work on California On.
Gharaibeh was born in 1983 in Amman, Jordan to a Jordanian father and an Egyptian mother. [4] He described his family as liberal Muslims. He lived in Saudi Arabia at a very young age then moved to Kissimmee, Florida when he was four years old after his father, who worked at a hotel, got a promotion. [3] [5] His family moved to Ventura County, California when he was 10. Before his YouTube career, Gharaibeh was working at a Best Buy and doing stand-up comedy on the weekends, mostly performing in small venues like restaurants.[ citation needed]
Gharaibeh got the idea to start making YouTube videos when his friend Cory Williams had a video that went viral. After working in retail for nearly a decade, Gharaibeh finally quit his job and began making videos full-time. [5] In 2011, he co-starred in the YouTube film, Agents of Secret Stuff starring Ryan Higa as Mr. Anderson.[ citation needed]
He won the 2013 Streamy Award for Best Host, beating out four other nominees including Larry King. [6] He has appeared on the cannabis culture-oriented podcast Getting Doug with High six times. He also appeared in a brief role in the 2014 film Transformers: Age of Extinction.[ citation needed] In 2009, he co-founded Maker Studios along with Shay Butler, Danny Zappin and Lisa Donovan. [7]
On March 24, 2014, Maker Studios accepted a buyout offer from The Walt Disney Company for $500 million, rising to $950 million if financial milestones were met. [8] [9] In March 2021, he made most of his YouTube videos private and not viewable by the public. Gharaibeh formerly hosted the Pajama Pants podcast alongside Sopranos actors Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler; on it, he explained that as he got older he began to no longer identify with the videos he made earlier in his life, and found many of them offensive and unfunny. [10] In April 2021, he was revealed to be a new host of G4 as part of their relaunch later that year, and in November he was announced to be a host of their revival of Attack of the Show!. Both ended a year later when the network was shut down. Now he works with the YouTube channel,”BroughtYouThisThing” and streams himself doing a variety of things.
I had over 500 something videos. I went through and privated almost all of my YouTube library
