@@Machosause There was a video about it, I didn't save it but google will likely answer your question. His boss admitted he wasn't being treated right and he left for other projects. He's still on youtube doing other series.

I live down the street from Vito Genovese’s former home, or the land his home used to be on before burning down mysteriously after Vito fled the US to Italy. It’s now a township park, showcasing the beautiful gardens that have been kept up by our town. It’s called Deep Cut gardens here in Middletown, NJ.
It was actually Genovese who endorsed Gambino to be the boss not the other way around at that time Carlo was just a captain and Vito once was the acting underboss for his crime family which was the most powerful one
Vito went to Gambino for support and backing for the Costello hit by appealing to the lure of being a boss himself among other things. Gambino was the underboss under Anastasia at that point. That's why Vito in turn backed and supported the infamous barbershop hit against Anastasia, a fervent Luciano and Costello ally, not long after the botched Costello one. It was Anastasia being killed that convinced Costello to let it go and accept Vito's demands to give up his control of his lucrative rackets since he was left without his backing and power base since Luciano was exiled all the way back to Italy and Gambino was now in charge of the former Mangano family.
I know we are used to Simon, and some people might find it hard to understand Karl, but I believe he (Karl) is doing the best he can. I hope you continue to host the channel Karl, and keep doing your best. Thank you for your hard work and sharing with us the result. You got this!
Not really. This guy just reads from a screen in monotone. Simon could of done better picking someone else. Like the people who now do visual politik, they actually do a good job replacing Simon. This guy does not.
@@AndorranStairway I know, I seen this with every youtuber. Again, too monotone, hard to understand, and very obviously reading from a script. If he's going to keep doing this, he should really do more retakes at very least.

Thank you you are doing a real good job with your new hosting duties but I can't help but laugh out loud every time you referred to the more aerodynamic mr. Whistler
a little peak for this channel now, going from the personality and vibe of Simon to Karl, im off to the other channels with Simon i hope Karl does well but Simon grabbed my attention and a lot of us will agree that Biographics is gonna take a heavy blow
Frank Costello is worth a video in his own right. If you can get a copy, his biography "Uncle Frank" by Leonard Katz is a damn good read. Karl, your presentation is OK by me.....but then again i once did live in Yorkshire, so I CAN understand what you're saying 😂
Yes there was a video where the channel owner (who also owns geographics) admitted she wasn’t doing things right, and wanted a fresh start. The video is called “it’s all my fault” I believe, it may have been posted on top tenz
A video on Don Carlo Gambino would be aces! A really interesting story but not many know about him because he went to great lengths to make it that way.
Surprised to see Karl here. I like Karl. I watch a lot of Simon's stuff. This was certainly not on my list for 2023. I'm interested, though. Welcome, Karl! Good luck!
I've always thought Vito genovese should had been the one they wacked the guy was a pain in the ass the only thing he thought about was his own ego and he tried to have frank Costello killed who was an excellent mob boss and he succeeded in killing albert anastasia who proofed him self to be an excellent boss and fully committed to that life and on top of all that Vito was also responsible for calling that national meeting of all the bosses and bringing more heat on them
Agree with you on everything except Anastasia being a good Boss.. not saying he wasn't.. he was utterly feared & serious! But he had the same kind of reckless bloodlust that Genovese had.. & it reared it's head in only the 2nd year of his reign in 1952, when he broke Costra Nostra rules & killed Arnold Shruster(spelling).. who was a complete & total civilian that had ZERO to do with anything criminal whatsoever! He had him killed because Arnold spotted & turned in a wanted bank robber, Willie Sutton to the Authorities.. Arnold was celebrated on TV as a hero & being interviewed by the Press & Media following it all! & Anastasia was watching it all on TV.. when he got got super pissed off because Arnold "snitched" & was "..a Squeeler.."... 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ So he had his men track him down & kill him! 🤦🏽♂️ That honestly was the beginning of the end for Anastasia.. even though it would be another 5 years before he was killed.. that incident set his downfall into motion! So dude was just too Bloodlustfull & reckless himself unfortunately.. Smh. Had he not been that & was able to keep his recklessness & Bloodthirst in check.. i believe he would have a good & successful Boss!
It’s so strange… I love Fact Friend but I miss Simon so much in this show. Karl is great but Simon had this show designed so well for his style. And I want that style back so badly… sorry.
Hardly the most deadly but definitely up there, I can name 4-5 more ruthless and cunning bosses but his family ain’t called the Ivy League mob family for nothing but a lot of that was down to gigante Costello and benny Lombardo not Genevese himself. He was too powerful hungry and overall didn’t make a great boss Edit- great video Karl but Meyer and lansky are one person and at one point you referred to him and 2 separate people as Meyer and lansky. Gambino wasn’t a willing participant as you described, it was Joe biondo Steve Armone and grammuta who planned the Anastasia hit and gambino was voted acting boss by the capos even though he was initially reluctant. Then obviously became the official boss and was arguably the most successful boss in the country along with Ricca, Accardo and Trafficante imo
You got many facts wrong there. Just to jump to one of the later ones the guy that Valachi killed in prison actually was not a hitman. He was just a fellow prisoner who approached him. Valachi just assumed the guy was going to kill him because he thought that Genovese had given him the kiss of death. Even though that was a mistake also.
Damn I love Simon but at least Karl speaks at a slow enough speed that it’s not anxiety inducing…I don’t understand why you all find his accent difficult? Try having a scouse girlfriend…Karl’s accent is a breeze…
I don't think the expensive cars were registered to "known criminals" but instead were registered to New York City/Brooklyn addresses. The cops put two and two together. Besides, a local upstate cowboy cop snuck onto the property and reported back, "Italians, lots of Italians." (Not a real quote, but likely a truth.) They raided the meeting illegally (unconsiutional seizure) and had to let the gangsters go. But not before photographing, finger printing, and identifying the entire gangster world. The worst part for the gangsters was that the compulsive gambler J. Edgar Hoover could no longer pretend there was no such thing as 'organized crime' in America. (For the gambler Hoover, he lost his connection to the gangster loan-sharks who would bail him out when he had a bad streak.) The FBI was coming hard. First on the list was the IBC in boxing, and Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo were on their way to federal prison.
Don't worry for the pronunciation of the Italian language. You're already doing a better work than SImon. Comparing American coffee to Espresso, on the other hand, is a problem.

Joe Valachi didn't actually kill the hitman, he was paranoid and killed the wrong guy, he thought it was the hitman.
I cut the kid a break. He sounds like he British or some frigin this so he don't know.

This is so wild. I didn't know that Genovezes were Mafia people. I had a teacher named Genovese, in high school. He was actually a really nice guy.
Not everyone with the same name is related

He was a very good man ❤ (he didn't die don't worry, just miss em)
Good writing survives a change of presenters.
This was very good.
I like that you don't try to be Simon, you do it your own way. It's equally great content and delivery 👍
Boardwalk empire is one of the greatest shows of all time now we need one for al Capone

Yes. Costello is worth a video of his own. That’s why they made a video about him.
Who is Leonard
I'm pretty sure they did a video on him
Love the video too by the way keep up the good content !!!
Did not see Karl showing up as the biographics host, but I always like hearing him talk, so happy surprise.
We laughed and kept saying "see you soon", but inside we both knew we'd never see each other again.
Is there information why Simon isn’t hosting this anymore?
Yes there was a video where the channel owner (who also owns geographics) admitted she wasn’t doing things right, and wanted a fresh start. The video is called “it’s all my fault” I believe, it may have been posted on top tenz
Suggestion: Ferdinand the Saint of castile and leon one of the reconquista greatest figueres

Plase do Leslie Van Houten , the beautiful nightmare, please explain everything the way you do up until her release and what will happen next. Please
Lieutenant (Lu-ten-nat) you’re saying it correct :) thank you for your work on this channel, Karl.
Thanks.

Could you please to do a video on
President Rutherford B. Hayes or First Lady Dolly Madison
No
I’m on pause at 7 seconds and this is the first time I’m seeing not Simon…. I’m gonna need this addressed by the time I hit 20 seconds
What if, the hit on Costello was just a warning? Could be why the Chin missed him, practically.
Hey Simon for your next video could you explore the life of Auguste Escoffier the chef of Kings.
Biographics is becoming unwatchable with Karl hosting
It’s so strange… I love Fact Friend but I miss Simon so much in this show.
Karl is great but Simon had this show designed so well for his style. And I want that style back so badly… sorry.
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
Nice arm sleeve bro
I honestly thought someone was calling me.
Will Simon be coming back?
do a biographics on judge nathan perlman and "the jewish mafia vs nazis"
US uses lieutenant (loo-ten-ant), but you use whichever you prefer. We can deal with it. Well, most of us can.
Hardly the most deadly but definitely up there, I can name 4-5 more ruthless and cunning bosses but his family ain’t called the Ivy League mob family for nothing but a lot of that was down to gigante Costello and benny Lombardo not Genevese himself. He was too powerful hungry and overall didn’t make a great boss
Edit- great video Karl but Meyer and lansky are one person and at one point you referred to him and 2 separate people as Meyer and lansky. Gambino wasn’t a willing participant as you described, it was Joe biondo Steve Armone and grammuta who planned the Anastasia hit and gambino was voted acting boss by the capos even though he was initially reluctant.
