Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Before there was MrBeast there was Liza Koshy. She was one of the fastest growing UA-camrs and Viners, growing a fanbase well beyond 25 million subscribers. But then she stopped uploading. So what happened to Liza Koshy? That's what we cover in this interview and more.

I asked Liza why she left when she was on top of UA-cam, what it was like hosting the Met Gala, voice acting in the new Transformers movie, and how she's applying her skills as a host, actress, and director. Who knows, we may just see Liza on Saturday Night Live soon enough.

Honestly this is probably the most interesting channel on UA-cam right now. These videos really show the insights of so many industries at once. It’s awesome
Wow thank you! Really appreciate that 🙏
Literally this channel and diary of a ceo are feeding me right now esp as my feed is filled with 1 specific topic/person that I've had enough of seeing!
@@youshaei😊😊😂
@@lornatw Yeah, got a feeling about who & what you're talking about & I completely agree!!
Liza Breaking down walls for female creators like a boss ❤
I love your channel 💙💙💙
You’re doing it too Kris 👊 love your videos
You're just as inspiring, Kris! So many little girls look to you as a role model and you're a great one ♥️
When I think of a creator that's following the blueprint or similar paths of Liza, I think of you, Kris. Even before I saw your comment, I was thinking - this is reminding me of the new creator Kris, because it's so similar.
Oh My God if it isn't the one of the best human in this world
THANK YOU for letting her talk, a lot of interviewers cut people off and it's SO annoying
Yes.
Yes !!!!!
Liza feels like the new age like… Nickelodeon or Disney star that you are so happy didn’t lose themselves and their values. I’m so proud of her. ❤️
then theres dobrick lol
@@GSP96I mean what has he done 😂 he’s out of it too and a successful ceo
The YT algorithm recommended this me and now I know why…. Liza is beyond inspirational ❤
means a lot 🙏🙏
I’ve met Liza Koshy in person! I noticed her across the restaurant while having dinner. Then bumped into her outside. She was said “What are you guys celebrating?!” My partner said “Our anniversary!” Then she looked at both of us and said “When is ours?!”
So funny and a sweetheart! Super grateful for you! ♥️
Hard to believe she's only 27. So thoughtful and wise beyond her years!
Met Liza for the first time in a talent shuttle (glorified golf cart) as she was transitioning from Vine- we had no idea who each other was and her energy/positivity toward me (a total stranger) is what made me a fan. Eager for the day when she makes her next UA-cam post
Swoozie! Dude so full circle to see you comment on here. You were a big inspiration when I met you when I worked at YT (I think you were wearing your Nike Mags lace ups haha) and I often think about your amazing storytelling now that I’m a creator myself 🙏
Awww❤
SWOOOZIE BIG FAN RESPONDE RO ME PLS MR.SWOOZ WWOOOZIE
I loved this! 😍 👏 great
How old are you dude jeez I watched you when I was a kid
she’s so well spoken and self aware u can tell she’s done a lot of inner work
I believe this isn't being pushed up by the algorithm, this interview was much needed. Thank you Liza and Jon.
Thank you for watching!
@@youshaei 🙏
TF are you talking about? I got here because of the algorithm, via recommendations. I don't even know this channel or even Liza Koshy. Algorithm definitely brought me here.
@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273i love how people just want to argue against points no one made lol they’re just saying its not being promoted by the algorithm as much as it should. be less miserable life is easier that way
Hello algorithm. YT brought me here
Liza has always been my biggest inspiration. I'm a creator from Vietnam, and I literally learned English through watching Liza's video when I was in 7th grade. I'm already in college now, and even got a scholarship to study in the US thanks to all the joy and motivation Liza gave me when I was younger.
And amazing interview to walk through Liza's brain, creative process. Thank you Jon for your insightful questions - I learned so much in 48 minutes. Grateful for you both!
Wow this may be the most heartfelt comment I’ve read in a long time ❤️ thanks so much for sharing!
What?! Congratulations on your scholarship @witgvung!
Keep up the hard work 😊
That’s fantastic! Congrats!
Same for me I also learned English through watching Liza in middle school and highschool and now I'm studying medicine in english
This interview is great.
Thanks man! 🙏
No.... it was insightful!!!!❤
She’s such a first class kind of human. You don’t find many like her, a true one of a kind.
Duh obviously, coz she is half brown girl Indian
What is that supposed to mean?@@archangelmichael8209
Liza has so much of my respect. She's a natural born entertainer and a really inspirational person.
As a teenager, i always felt like the world was going to end in a minute and all my problems felt like they were getting worse, until i found Liza Koshy one night. Little did she know how that one video is what i needed the most, and she cracked me up so hard, i needed those kind of tears to fall instead. I'm currently 29 and seeing her evolve into her highest self is absolutely breathtaking. She is so humble, She is forever my reminder of who I truly want to be even if no one else around me is.
I love how comfortable looks Liza in this interview, well done Jon 🙌
Thank you but couldn't have done it without Liza for being so candid and open to sharing her story
this interview was AMAZING! though I haven't watched Liza in years, she's still so incredibly humble and intelligent. Jon did great interviewing as well, they flow very fluently together
Thank you!! Yeah Liza was such an amazing guest 🙏
@@youshaei thanks for putting it all together!! it’s been a while she’s been giving the floor, and got to expand on topics she never touched on. amazing questions, good shit🤍
I always knew she was witty which takes a lot of intelligence but she's so methodical and self aware. Really cool interview!
What I love for Liza is that unlike many creators she doesn't look down on her past. She's giving credit to her vine era and youtube. I think I never heard the woman say a single negative thing about herself OR anyone else.
She’s literally so well spoken. And very intelligent and witty. I adore her. Like I really think she’s genuinely like this. Can’t wait to see where she takes her career
She still is the queen of UA-cam even though she went on to better things. I’m so proud of her and her journey, I look up to her so much. Absolute icon and legend. I do miss her but it’s okay, she’s doing great things with her talents. I adore her. ❤️
This says so much about Liza’s character! Most people wouldn’t dare to mention other creators names ! Especially in the Vogue situation! Miss seeing her on UA-cam but glad she’s doing good !
Ok so lizas content has never exactly been "for me" but regardless this woman SHINES. She is an inspiration to all these younger females she paved her way without having to shower her body or act provocatively. She is literal proof that we are so much more than our bodies or a pretty face ❤️🔥 DO YOUR MF THING LIZA !
She’s so beautiful. What a glow and so much energy. I hope she doesn’t burn out and continues to follow her advice
@@Learntarott she is absolutely stunning & an amazing individual. I wish her nothing but the best ! ❤️🔥
I've watched Liza grow since i was 12, I'm turning 21 this year and I'm to blessed and honored to use her and her personality, creativity and what she stands for as my role model and childhood star. So excited for her future projects and how far she can go.
Liza paved the path for youtuber to mainstream media in a way that wasnt seen as possible before that's a UA-cam legend whether you enjoy her content or not!
great interview as always
Thank you 🙏
No she didn’t, she might’ve been one of them but definitely didn’t pave the way
Ya she was quite literally one of the first handful of UA-camrs to be at the met gala let alone be a host to talk to A list celebrities.
@@TrueJEMtheArtistwho was then
@@lizacrochets98 You basically just repeated what he said. He said she was one of them. And you repeated, acting like youre disagreeing with him?
It been so long since I've seen Liza or her videos but this girl has not lost a single ounce of humour in her body. Chuckling through this video because DAMN Liza. Didn't realize I missed her and that era of UA-cam until now
I have to say I am SO INSPIRED by this interview that I opened my sketch notes today & wrote my first real script🎉 So relatable on so many levels- both of you! Love this channel!✨You’ve helped me conceptualize the dream for my own self somehow & I can’t thank u enough! See you in my own interview in 2 years! #Manifest 🤩
So glad to hear! Yess Liza is so inspiring 🚀
Following you now. Looking forward to seeing you succeed. Hope you have the most amazing time doing it. 😊
as a singer and musician, i love how she mentioned how she can get critical of her tone and other things within her complextion of acting. i tend to do that with my own musicianship, and hearing about how those "mistakes" or things happening in a certain way outside of "perfect" are inherentlty perfect in their own way really helps and encourages me to formulate things a lot less critically. sometimes our imperfections can make a performance even better .
How come I didn’t know for this UA-cam channel before?
Host is such respectful person and all the questions he asks are on point. So natural.
Liza is someone I watched when I need comfort. I feel like she never seemed happier. She is an amazing person,so down to earth,thats why so many people love her.
Two things: One, Liza is SO inspirational! She is so driven and focused and I love her for that, I really hope that nothing, including the industry or anyone else, changes that. Two, I LOVE how you give her plenty of time to talk and speak her mind, it makes me respect you as a person, and this is the first time I'm ever seeing one of your videos! You give her your full attention and actually listen to what she has to say, and that makes you such a good and attentive person. I'm definitely subscribing and I'll watch for more videos in the future!
She doesn't change and that's what I like the most about her. She's just sincere
so professional, gracious, bold, kind and well spoken. I saw some of her videos when she was posting still but I didn’t keep up with everything, but I always admired her. You can just tell she’s a genuine and smart person.
I met Liza once at vidcon in Australia and she hugged me so hard she left a makeup stain on my shirt that how good the hug was haha she’s the most humble down to earth lovely person I’ve ever met
I would have framed my shirt haha
Liza was one of the youtubers who was poc woman that I could really watch and look up to. i felt so incredibly seen even just by her being on my screen and ill always be thankful for the memories and confidence she gave me
I don't think you're alone in that!! She's truly one of a kind 🙏
Thank you for this amazing video! I was especially impressed by the quality of questions you asked, it showed that you acknowledged and respected her new roles and ambitions, and didn’t let her success on YT be the only topic of conversation. Thank you for interviewing her, she is a true pioneer in so many areas, and it’s so inspiring to see how she is navigating so many “firsts” in life as a creator!
Great interview Jon. The effort you put in researching and coming up with compelling questions makes your content a joy to watch.
For creators who started at early as Liza Koshy, it takes a tremendous amount of mental strength to keep creating content for *years*. And not only that, but to then take a break from creating videos and move onto other things *and still* maintain the loyalty with your viewers.. it’s truly amazing. So happy to see her on this channel and be so vulnerable, it’s really an honour to be able to hear this. It’s inspiring and genuinely makes me happy to see her glow like this after her long journey
She really has great presence. So much work to be in her level ❤
I honestly didn't know much about Liza, but hey, if Jon's interviewing, I'm watching!
Glad I did tho, her Journey's super interesting and I love how honest and approachable she seems. Thanks to both of you for a wonderful interview!
Liza is awesome. Been a fan of her since the days of Vine. It’s a shame she doesn’t post on YT any more, but she’s happy and that’s what matters. Wishing her the best!!
Love this!
Yeah I remember her from Vine too haha and i was looking for someone to comment on that. I never really watched her youtube videos but i’ll check them out.
this was such a amazing interview, she was so so well spoken, articulate and grounded!! i remember seeing her vogue sketch years ago and I was in stitches and also in awe, I could tell a crazy amount of work went into it
ive always been so inspired by Liza even during the silly vines. The whole time watching this video she spoke so well, she is truly such an intelligent person and it shows so well when she answers the questions 💜
Love this and you guys ❤
Right back at ya Alan! ❤️
I used to find her a bit obnoxious and thought she was a sell out after she stopped UA-cam 😂 I’m impressed at how well spoken she is and realizing she’s a true inspiration…great questions and great answers…there is no limit for what this girl can do…I most definitely can see her in SNL soon
I miss her UA-cam videos so bad, but I am so proud of her and happy for her seeing how far she's come!
Loved this! Some bits specifically- when you hear no hear go! This hit & also to look at how many dreams have come true. Thanks Liza & Jon
Love, love, loved this interview! Thank you so much for the amazing questions and video! ☺️🙏🏾💕
What a beautiful interview! "It's about you not me" in t he first minutes.. Stunning! Wish more Interviewers were like this... would be very interesting to hear what a Anne Hathaway would have to say in a professional Interview. Loved Liza and love you now! Thank you Jon!
I love her! It's hard for me to be invested in interviews sometimes, but this one was really great and I love your editing style!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
she's truly an inspiration! i've been watching liza since vine when i was a preteen, and seeing her continue to flourish, transition over to traditional media as well as pave the way for many creators, whilst still remaining her authentic self, is so admiring! as a fan it's amazing to watch her articulate her journey and her thoughts with grace. i am beyond proud of liza's accomplishments and only wish that she continues to flourish, she deserves nothing less!
Well said, she truly does 😀
Liza's positive energy has always been so radiant! How can you not smile listening to her? I'm happy for her in all of her successes both on and off UA-cam.
I just discovered your channel and seriously binged all of your content! Your interviews are so real - love how you humanize creators’ processes/journeys! Kudos 🎉 I’ve also been a big fan of Liza since forever!!!
Thank you Pooja! Means a lot with how much work goes into each video 🙏
ive watched her since i was 13 and now im 20!!! love everything she does, and see her suceed in different aspects of her life ❤
Liza is such a huge inspiration. The way she speaks and the way she presents herself is truly something to look up to! She shines bright & her personality peers through her words even when speaking of mundane topics (not that she ever does.) I’ve always been so impressed by her but after this interview I’m also so proud by how much she has grown from her Vine days. Keep shining girl! 🥹✨
Edit: I was so captivated by Liza I forgot to give credit where it’s due! This is the first video I watch on this channel and I’m equally impressed by the interviewer and how he really made sure to do his research. Great questions, lots of respect to both parties.
Wow thank you so much, this means a lot!
And totally agree, Liza is incredible :)
I just love the way she express herself, eloquent yet so fun!
Liza is so articulate, beautiful and wise. She stewarded her success so well 💚
This was such a beautiful interview! It was so great to hear Liza go through the same struggles as other creators and here my own thoughts and feelings mirrored by her. I love the nugget "dreaming is a skill," I'm definitely going to go sharpen it! Thanks Jon for being such a well-researched host!
Right?! I loved that too. Thanks so much for the kind words 😀
I absolutely love Liza and have since vine. I am so proud and admire how she is growing and what she’s learned over these years ❤
A wonderful and inspiring interview. Liza is such a graceful and beautiful young lady. There is so much more in her for the world to see. She has already been the premiere in so many ways breaking ground in a number of areas. Can't wait to see her own her own movie studio one day.
She's really incredible!! Excited to see what she does next in Hollywood
I got my middle school 6th period English class hooked on your channel and to this day I still play around with the your Helga and Jeff alter egos from time to time😭😭😭 You’re we’re a definitive part of my childhood and money others but so happy that you chose yourself. A lot of creatives sacrifice their mental health for others.
I've loved Liza for years and years. her videos basically taught me English. I remember I would religiously wait for her Wednesday video upload and vividly recall my pure joy when she did. I think I watched every single video at least two or three times at this point. she truly was so important to teenager me. thank you so much Liza
What an exceptional interview. Liza is an inspiration.
Just pure art and hearts here. Art of hearts and hearts of art. Basically I just felt so much during this interview and learned. so much. You both are out of this world with what you do and your creative passions burst through the screens.🎉❤ Amazing how inspired I feel from watching this interview, truly and deeply.
Glad to see Liza is still thriving. I do miss her uploads.. but regardless its so nice to see that shes doing everything she dreamed of.
This is an amazing interview. Jon is genuine, curious and patient when Liza talks, and Liza is unbelievably talented, analytical, ambitious, hilarious and intelligent. I enjoyed the back as well as the forth, whereas mostly when I watch interviews, I'm into the interviewee and their answers. Thank you for this! ❤
Thank you for the kind words Danielle! Really means a lot and hope you enjoy our other interviews as well ❤️
She did such a great job at the met. I’m so excited to watch her grow and create!! Very proud of this lady!
I actually followed Liza's content 2019 back , just now remember her and wow good for her to still have the same energy and humour 😊
SUCH a beautiful interview. Thank you! ❤
Thank you Makari!! Hope you enjoy my other interviews as well 🙏
@@youshaei But of course! :)
I miss her so much. Much love and respect to her for being herself!! Love you, Liza!! 💚💚
She has such a joyful personality and energy!
Liza koshy is someone i grew up watching. She even lives in a part of me and im so, so proud of her. She protected me from so much stuff, just with her comedy and her real serious talk and sharing personal struggles. Love her till the ends of time. Ty, this brown boy will always look up to you❤
Absolutely adore Liza. Have since I stumbled across her on Vine. (I miss vine, wish I’d been aware they were ending it, so I could save all those videos that only existed there.)
So happy to see her thriving and still being her. Looooove love love this human!! Keep gettin it done, Liza!!
She continues to kill it
I adore Liza and all the effort she put in! Her videos were and are such a source of joy 🤩
I watched Liza since she began posting on UA-cam. I am so proud of all her achievements, and although I used to be one of those commenters that begged for her content back, she needed to grow to really do what she wanted to do. She is incredibly well-spoken and talented.
lisa is such an amazing sweet person i always loved her youtube channel. she deserves the world
Liza is such a beautiful, talented soul! This is a great interview. Thank you!
This was such an amazing interview ❤
This is slowly reigniting the comedy channel dream, I had when I was younger....love to see Liza is doing great!!
Bring it back!! Also I have a Discord creator community with over 2,000 creators, would love to have you join: discord.gg/created
I loved it! Thank you guys for this video!❤️
The end made me tear up a bit, how she thanked for the diligence and for being seen as a human being behind the scenes 🥹
When I was in high school, I struggled with confidence issues. Watching Liza helped me a ton with learning social cues and how to be funny without being obnoxious. I also spent a lot of my days watching her videos whenever I feel down. From Vines to UA-cam, I truly admire her
Liza making me cry and giving me hope, per usual
Great interview. She is so well spoken and such a staple in the community. Wishing her continued success and happiness.
Thanks for watching!
This is an absolute great interview. Great job, great foward conversations and you know how to keep on track without being strict.
This was an amazing interview I loved every second
i love to see how far shes come! absolutely glowing these days and happy to hear her insight :))
Isn't it awesome? Thanks Sabrina!
Liza, the point you made about rest is essential. I was in a similar position this past year. I was building my business, and going to graduate school so I could build a better business. I burnt myself out so badly I almost had to drop out. It took months to “reboot” and redevelop my executive function. Rest IS part of the process. You rest so you can do the work. “Rest is productive” (Elyse Myers)
I'm so proud of her ❤❤ been watching her since vine love her Soo much
The interview was interesting and I loved that the interviewer let Liza tell her story with minimal interruptions. I do think though that he needs to be mindful of how he redirects the focus back onto the interviewee when they ask him questions about his perspective. Several times when Liza asked him a question, he abruptly shut it down. Thank goodness for him she took it well as others may have taken it as a bump in the conversation flow and clammed up over time. One way I've seen great interviewers do this is by researching a lot about the person being interviewed and using that research to guide the convo. First We Feast comes to mind. Loved the content overall though.
I love this interview so much. I love Liza, she raised so many of us. Seeing her grow so much has been so amazing.
So awesome to hear! Thanks for watching 😄
I admire Liza for learning and growing into such a powerful and elegant young women. Such a beautiful personality 😊
She's really amazing!!
Liza was such a big part of my teen years and was the first comedy youtuber I followed. Love to see how much she’s grown and she’ll always have a place in my heart❤❤
Liza your the most inspirational and most loving person I have ever watcheand was a huge fan of you, and you Jon Thank You for making this interview great.
Going to miss the legendary Liza
Koshy, and I hope whatever your doing in the future you will do great.
She’s so well spoken!!!
You are extremely talented, the way most people interview can be frustrating, overwhelming and very rude. You seem genuinely interested, kind and open to what is said. Whilst also letting people flow. Its great to see 🥺. Well done!
That means so much, thank you :)
Liza you are so inspirational! I have been watching you since vine!! I am just a girl from htown like you, and it gives me hope
I didn't know much about her before this interview. I just knew she was everywhere and her energy just felt so warm and welcoming and authentic every time.
Awesome to hear that! Yeah Liza has a really special energy
Another wonderful honest interview with brilliant questions. Lots of tips and energy. Always love watching your videos. Great work. ❌⭕❤️
Amazing interview! I’ve watched Liza’s channels even when I was barely understanding English so long ago 🥰 now lots of things happened and she is still such an inspiration ❤️professional. Talent. Brilliant!
her energy is so contagious i love it
love liza koshy to death she’ll always have a special place in my heart as she was one of the first youtubers i discovered im so beyond proud of her progress
