A few months ago, David Dobrik and his team pitched around a talk-show concept, which he described as ''Jackass' meets late-night,' but discussions fell through

And Lilly Singh, a popular YouTuber, actor and comedian, has hosted a late-night show on NBC since the fall of 2019.

With the unveiling of the new “Views” studio, Dobrik announced that he will start posting weekly podcast videos featuring his friends and special guests. The first two featured singers Halsey and Madison Beer. Some of his dream guests for the podcast? Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Reynolds, Ariana Grande and Natalie Portman, the latter because “she’s the most remarkable woman on Earth,” Dobrik says.

“I think the way we define entertainers and celebrities is going to change in the next couple years, especially with TikTok’s huge impact on younger kids. You ask anybody under the age of 17 who Charli D’Amelio is and they can tell you, but name another actor and it’ll be tougher,” Dobrik says. “TikTok and YouTube are becoming the new Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. A lot of stars emerge from those platforms.

DavidDobrik well it was in hawaii but glad to have u back

Yeah it seems like he will not be getting a show. Hell, if anyone brings criminal charges he very well may get deported

Embarrassing that reported on this man

He has scammed all of us who bought his puzzle. I see a class action lawsuit. DavidDobrik 🚒🚒 HELP!!!!! I finished my puzzle But threw my verification code away unknowingly knowing we needed that paper. My kid spilled something on it and now I can not reveal my winnings

nohatetour KCA2021 CancelDavidDobrik canceljasonnash cancelthevlogsquad canceljamescharles justiceforseth Don't support these predatory bullies! David and Jason have literally BRAGGED about sexually assaulting someone + was racially motivated. DON'T ASSOCIATE FOR VIEWS!!

I wonder if he’s planning on orchestrating another sexual assault and your just giving him a platform to continue that behavior. sick endorsement variety

We love Variety giving a platform to DavidDobrik who has not only bullied his “friends” but had one of them sexually assaulted on more than one occasion.

DavidDobrik well then you better issue your apology now because if you do make it to late night and become celebrity famous the world will know about what you did and you’ll be canceled for real

oooooffff. not a good take here... you could really knock it off with the puff pieces and cover the crap he did to others....

Waiting like crazy 😜 is it gonna have abuse and sexual assault ?

why don’t you cover a real story - like the manipulation, emotional and verbal abuse, and sexual assault that David Dobrik has inflicted upon former members of “vlog squad” instead of puff pieces

Why don't you report about the sexual assault that was literally on camera? Jack links even condemned him for it. This man needs to take some accountability

David Dobrik and Jason Nash keep ignoring the sexual assault allegations against them. Write about that next time

You outta do a story about the sexual assault claims against him. 👍

DavidDobrik come hang in Toronto

DavidDobrik So that he can encourage adults date and assault minors in other countries for ‘views’? Hard pass.

Has anyone watched his videos? He seems like such an entitled brat and very immature!

Pass

What if he gets arrested 😂

Australia 🇦🇺?

Wasn’t he accused by Seth for abuse and sexual assault?

DarlenesCousin

why are you - still - promoting a racist? Does PenskeMedia condone racism?

Sure sounds like a dangerous mix of Cynthia Stevens' MY TALK SHOW and THE KING OF COMEDY. Don't know the guy but more power to 'im.

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.

hell ya DavidDobrik Come to Brazil
