Kassem G

Kassem was born on October 10, 1983, in Jordan. Following his birth, he resided in Saudi Arabia for a while with his Egyptian mother and Jordanian father. When he was four years old, his family relocated to Florida in the United States. He was thereafter raised in Ventura County, California.

Kassem worked as a stand-up-comedian while serving ‘Best Buy’. He strived to make a mark in the Los Angeles stand-up scene by performing stand-up-comedy on weekends in front of small crowds generally in small venues like Chinese restaurants.

The concept of creating and uploading videos on YouTube hit him when a video of his friend, actor and YouTube personality, Cory Williams, became a sensation on the video sharing site.

He started uploading his stand-up and comedy sketch videos on YouTube from 2008 and according to him, he initially posted such videos just for fun. However, after his videos started garnering a decent following, Kassem got inspired to take up the endeavour more seriously.

He gave up his retail job of ten years to dedicate more time on his new effort. Gradually, his videos started getting attention that saw his YouTube channel ‘KassemG’ garnering more than one million subscribers by summer 2010. Till present the channel, that was created on Oct 24, 2006, has amassed over 2.5 million subscribers with a whooping count of over 441 million views.

The amusing yet witty videos of this YouTuber have not only become immensely popular among viewers across the globe but also positioned him among the most viewed comedians on the internet.
