Kevin is in a group called YTF. The web series ''Funemployed'', launched in the summer of 2010, stars Kevin Wu and [[Wong_Fu_Productions|Wong Fu Productions]] Philip Wang and includes other notable YouTube stars such as [[Nigahiga]], [[David Choi]] and [[Kina Grannis]]. With so many fans of Wong Fu Productions, and Kevjumba, this series quickly took off and became a hit, reaching 500,000 viewers in only a few weeks. The series focuses on two good friends named Kyle (Kevin Wu) and Jason (Philip Wang), and how they are dealing with unemployment after Jason is laid off at work. Kyle is characterized as the typical laid back guy, who comes off as somewhat of a slacker, while Jason is characterized as the more studious hard worker of the two. The two eventually come up with an idea of how to make money, believing that YouTube is the key, an allusion to Wu's and Wang's real life success with YouTube videos. "Funemployed" eventually came to an end on July 27, 2010, with their last episode entitled, "Gave it a Shot". There were a total of eleven episodes and 30 sitcoms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/user/funemployed |title=Youtube: Funemployed}}</ref> |

Kevin Wu (traditional Chinese: 吳凱文; simplified Chinese: 吴凯文; pinyin: Wú Kǎi-Wén);[1](born June 12, 1990)[2] is an American comedian and YouTube celebrity who is best known by his YouTube username of KevJumba. As of December 2011, he is YouTube's seventh most subscribed comedian and tenth most subscribed user overall.[3] He is currently on an indefinite leave from the University of California, Davis; however, prior his departure, he was a film major. The San Francisco Chronicle's Jeff Yang has noted that Wu is not a comedian in the conventional sense but that by "just talking [he] is, well, pretty hilarious" due to his deadpan vocal delivery, animated facial expressions and tendency toward unexpected digressions.[4] Wu previously appeared on The CW Television Network's short-lived Online Nation and co-starred with Jessica Lee Rose and Philip DeFranco in Hooking Up from HBOLabs (the online arm of HBO) in 2008.[5] In 2010, Wu and his father, Michael, competed as a team on the 17th season of The Amazing Race, placing seventh out of eleven teams.[6]
Kevin's YouTube videos
Kevin Wu is known for posting humorous videos on YouTube. When Wu's "I Have to Deal With Stereotypes" video[7] was featured on YouTube's home page, his number of viewers began to increase.[8] In this video, Wu talks about stereotypes he must deal with as an Asian. He tries to disprove his cheapness by bragging about the recent purchase of a "brand new, top-of-the-line, TI-84 calculator". He acknowledges that this might make him nerdy but dismisses this stereotype too as he does not "make all A's...in school today [he] made a B+." He is then greeted by a voice that was supposed to be his mother calling him a loser and accusing him of shaming their family. Wu goes on to say he can prove the lack of his social life with the constant ringing of his cell phone. At this point, his phone indeed rings, he answers it, and the voice on the other end says, "Hey, why did you tell me to call you?"[9] Wu has collaborated with fellow YouTube comedian Christine Gambito (HappySlip), making five videos with her. Kevin Wu graduated from Clements High School in Sugar Land, Texas, in 2008.[10]
Following his video, "Butthash Hero", Wu introduced his father, PapaJumba, onto his YouTube channel, and his father made several appearances in candid video clips taken by his son. Responding to Wu's father's growing popularity amongst viewers, his father made a debut in "I Love My Dad", and has been featured alongside his son many times since. As of June 2010, Wu had more than 2,000,000 subscribers and more than 25 million views of his channel.[11] His combined video views total over 91.9 million. On February 26, 2008, the Los Angeles Times compared the web series Quarterlife's viewership to Wu's. At the time Wu was a "semi-well known YouTube blogger" and had received 450,000 views for a video describing how he broke his shin. Quarterlife, which had been picked up by NBC, had received only 100,000 views on MySpace and 50,000 views on YouTube.[12]
