An Internet celebrity, Anthony Padilla is best known for having co-founded the sketch comedy channel, Smosh, with Ian Hecox in the early 2000’s. As it happened, the franchise had begun in 2002, when he built a website called smosh.com, one that featured several Flash animations. As it grew in popularity, he eventually launched a Youtube channel to which he uploaded several lip-syncing videos with his friend, Ian. Before long, the friends had gained a considerable following on the site.
Over the next several years, Padilla continued to contribute to the channel, which has since diversified to include various skits and video series. It wasn’t until 2017, that it was announced that he’d be leaving Smosh to pursue other independent opportunities.
Since his departure, he has been focusing his attention on his own Youtube channel, which has accumulated over 2.5 million subscribers to date.
