The comedian’s gamble appears to have paid off seeing that he has been able to work consistently in film and television after parting ways with Smosh.

In 2019, Anthony began hosting the talk show, Throw Back with Nickelodeon, in which he interviewed former Nick stars about their experiences on the sets of popular series like All That, Kenan & Kel, and iCarly.

The social media star also flexed his acting muscles to voice a character in the 2019 animated feature, The Angry Birds Movie 2, and had a part in Keanu Reeves’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. His personal YouTube channel, which was started in 2006, currently has 7.55 million subscribers.

In addition to scoring movie roles, Anthony uses his TikTok account to showcase the exciting interviews he hosts regularly. The Smosh founder has had the pleasure of sitting down with the popular influencer Michael Reeves, vocalist Oliver Tree, and the hilarious Brittany Broski to name a few.

As for the actor’s friendship with Ian, the duo may not be as close as they once were, but they still have a lot of respect for one another. On the 14th anniversary of their very first YouTube video, Anthony wrote, "We were 18 years old and had no idea what this platform was capable of or what it’d become.

"I’m incredibly proud of what these two little emo boys created together and I’m honored to have been a part of YouTube history," he added.

Ian also marked the occasion, noting, "I sure am glad it worked out for the both of us, and helped, inspired, and employed so many other people along the way."
