Method
Anthony Padilla registers smosh.com in 2002, launches the YouTube channel with Ian Hecox in November 2005 from his bedroom in Carmichael, California, and leaves in June 2017 over creative control under Defy Media. His solo interview series I Spent a Day With makes him, in the Washington Post's phrase, YouTube's interview king. He and Hecox buy Smosh back in June 2023 and fold his Pressalike company into it.
