Daniel Anthony Padilla (/pəˈdiːjə/ pə-DEE-yə; born September 16, 1987) is an American internet personality, filmmaker, host, and actor. He gained prominence for co-founding the YouTube comedy collective Smosh with Ian Hecox, where he wrote, directed, and starred in sketch comedy videos with Hecox from 2005 to 2017; after leaving Smosh, Padilla announced his return to the channel in 2023. Outside of Smosh, Padilla hosts a series of interviews titled I Spent a Day With..., where he interviews fellow Internet celebrities, as well as survivors of crime and natural disasters.
Padilla made his film debut in Smosh: The Movie in 2015 and had a voice role in The Angry Birds Movie (2016) and its 2019 sequel.
Early life
Daniel Anthony Padilla[2] was born on September 16, 1987, in Sacramento, California and is a native of Carmichael, California.[3][4] His father is of Filipino and Spanish descent and his mother is German. His parents separated when he was two, and he was raised mostly by his mother alongside his two younger half-brothers. As his mother has severe agoraphobia, she was unable to work or even leave the family home, resulting in the family surviving off food stamps; Padilla took on a great deal of responsibility from an early age, especially after his grandmother, who was the primary caretaker of the family, died.[5] He graduated from Del Campo High School[6] and attended American River College for two years before dropping out due to Smosh's success.[7]
Career
Smosh
In 2002, Padilla registered smosh.com, where he posted Adobe Flash animations. It also functioned effectively as an early form of social media, where he would communicate with his friends while bedridden with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura.[5] He has stated that the name "Smosh" came from an incident where he mistook a friend explaining a mosh pit as a "smosh pit". He was later joined by his friend, Ian Hecox, whom he first met in their sixth grade science class, when the two quickly discovered their shared interest in comedy. They joined YouTube in 2005, making several videos together. Many of their early videos were of them lip syncing, including to the theme songs of Mortal Kombat, Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[3]
One of Smosh's earliest videos, "Pokémon Theme Music Video," was released on November 28, 2005. It followed the same style as their other earlier videos, with the duo lip-synching the original English theme song for the Pokémon anime. The video became much more popular than any of their other videos. It became one of the most-viewed videos on YouTube at that time,[3] but was removed for being a copyright violation.[8] They later started focusing more on short comedy skits.[3]
Leaving Smosh
Smosh was acquired by Defy Media in 2011, who remained the owner until it shut down in 2018.[9] Padilla left in June 2017, making the announcement on his personal YouTube channel.[10][11] He mentioned a "lack of creative freedom."[9][12][11] Following the liquidation of Defy Media in November 2018, he claimed that the company had attempted to steal his social network pages and prevented him from joining SAG-AFTRA after he departed from the company.[13] Mythical Entertainment would later acquire the Smosh brand on February 22, 2019.[14]
Reunion and Owning Smosh
Alongside Hecox, Padilla announced on June 20, 2023, that the duo had bought a majority stake in Smosh from Mythical Entertainment and would be rebooting the main channel to create their own sketches, similar to those in the early years of the channel. In an interview with Variety regarding the acquisition, Padilla expressed his desire to "return to [their] roots" by owning the company so that they "[could] really take Smosh in any creative direction".[15]
Outside Smosh
Since his initial departure from Smosh in 2017, Padilla has found continued success on his personal YouTube channel. He created a series of videos titled I Spent a Day With..., interviewing people in particular fandoms.[16][17] Padilla stated that he uses the series as a way to have in-depth conversations with people who tend to be left out; he wanted to avoid "poking fun at people, cringe reaction humor-type stuff." For his work, he has been described as "YouTube's Interview King" by The Washington Post.[18] He has interviewed people such as then-YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, American YouTuber Dream,[19] and American musician Corpse Husband.[20][18] His other subjects included furries, ex-cult members, and survivors of police brutality.[16][17]
In 2020, Padilla founded Pressalike, Inc.[21] to develop and create a slate of unscripted content. The company currently produces the I Spent a Day With... series.[22]
