"I'm very excited for this next stage of Smosh's growth. Sixteen years of work in Internet content, leading Smosh through so many changes in the digital business, has taught me a lot about what it takes to be a lasting brand on the Internet. Daniel is just the person we need to take us into the future, and I can't wait to see what we can do together, in digital and beyond."
