The creators behind the massively popular YouTube channel Smosh are reflecting on their Sacramento roots nearly 20 years after the channel first appeared. Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla began filming sketches and parodies around their Rosemont neighborhood, eventually becoming one of the world’s most influential YouTube channels. Smosh now has 27 million subscribers and was the most-subscribed channel in 2006, 2007 and 2013. The duo says Sacramento offered key advantages for filming in their early days. They also note their first-ever interview was with ABC10 in 2006, and the full interview with the pair is now available on ABC10.com.
