Smosh is an American sketch/improv comedy YouTube channel founded by Ian Andrew Hecox and Daniel Anthony Padilla. Ian and Anthony, from 2006 to 2014, would occasionally add actors to their videos, but the content was mostly by themselves. In 2015, they permanently added actors in their videos. On June 20, 2023, Anthony returned to Smosh, and he, together with Ian, acquired the Smosh brand from Mythical Entertainment, announcing that classic Smosh would be back to create skits starring the two.
