He believes hosting his “Views” podcast will be good training for landing a late-night gig, but what’s unclear is what the talk show landscape will look in a few years. It’s just a couple of us.”Ī few months ago, he and his team pitched around a talk-show concept, which he described as “‘Jackass’ meets late-night,” but discussions fell through.ĭobrik isn’t giving up hope. When a guest comes by, it’s a super comfortable place to be interviewed, and there’s not like 30 people on set.
I can still have it 100% controlled by me, and that’s great. “Now that I have a studio and can interview my friends and celebrity guests inside my home, it’s the best of both worlds. “I’ve always wanted to be a late-night host - that’s my big dream,” Dobrik tells Variety. Now he’s got his sights set on late-night TV with the in-home studio to record interviews for his podcast, “Views.”
Dobrik married one of his friend’s moms as a prank (they later got divorced), frequently gave away cars to people and collaborated with celebrities like Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, John Stamos, Howie Mandel and more. He and the Vlog Squad, as his group of friends came to be known, picked up millions of followers as their shenanigans grew in absurdity and scale. After Twitter shut down Vine, he jumped over to YouTube and made bite-sized vlogs of his daily life that ran for exactly four minutes and 20 seconds. The 24-year-old rose to fame by mastering the six-second art of now-defunct social-video app Vine in the mid-2010s, where he created short comedy skits with his friends in Los Angeles. But the social media star’s grand ambition is to be the next Jimmy Fallon - and as a stepping stone to get to late-night TV, he built his own podcast studio in his new house. David Dobrik has roughly 75 million followers across multiple platforms and more than eight billion views on YouTube.
