Smosh Co-Founders Reunite to Purchase Comedy Brand They Created

Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox have bought back Smosh, the YouTube comedy brand they launched 18 years ago.
Padilla left Smosh in 2017 due to creative differences but is now rejoining Hecox, his co-founder.
Smosh was purchased in 2019 by Mythical Entertainment, an entertainment company founded by YouTubers Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal.
Padilla and Hecox announced they bought the company back from Mythical.
Smosh has 25 million subscribers and was once the most-followed channel on YouTube.
