with yours, it's an honor, it's an honor to be here
next to you.
I squealed back stage.
I went "eeee" so I wouldn't do it right now.
- [Kelly] So how did you get started on YouTube and
even more so how do you get billions of views?
I'm just asking for a friend.
- Yeah, well, other than keeping it on loop in the
background of my house at all times, I started originally
on Vine, so it was six second long videos that I was making.
Rest in Peace, I pour one out every time man.
Girl, my resume disappeared on that app.
So, I went on over into YouTube because I can talk a lot
longer than that.
My first YouTube video was twelve minutes long and now
I'm making 22 minute, half hour TV show on YouTube.
- And you're killing it.
(applause)
- Are you big into YouTube?
- I am making a 22 minute, half hour comedy, but the
YouTube, I'm elderly so I've learned all about YouTube
through my boy.
- Wait you don't go down the rabbit hole?
- What?
You don't watch puppy videos and cat videos?
You don't watch people eating?
- I go to my son's room and that's all they watch.
They're not watching television shows unless it's
on YouTube so you're exactly where you need to be.
- That's where the billions of views are.
- How old's your son?
- He's 17.
- Oh, that's my demographic.
Tell him thank you for watching.
- [Eric] I sure will.
- You left college to make YouTube videos so exactly how
excited were your parents about this?
- They were the ones that actually encouraged me to pursue
my dreams and move out to L.A. so, I know, right?
I had the blessing of a brown parent.
You know, that don't happen everyday.
No.
I did, I did.
So my dad and my mom actually met in theater class
in college and my dad was told he would only be
stereotype cast as a brown man and now here I am being
a brown girl doing all the things, doing it for him.
I'm so proud to represent.
- That's so cool. That must be where you get
your talent from.
Both of them are like well...
- Yes, that's what they like to say.
My sister says I stole her personality.
- My sister and I are identical so I didn't steal
anything Lisa.
Who's like your favorite person you've ever had on
your YouTube channel?
- Lucky enough I had, Barack Obama, president Barack Obama
(applause)
on my YouTube Channel.
- [Kelly] Wow.
- I know he's big into the YouTube.
- That's amazing.
What was that like?
Were you nervous?
- Oh, so nervous.
The man walked into the room and he smelled like all
types of pumpkin spice fall candles like every candle,
every dryer sheet known to man, that's what he smells like.
- [Kelly] Oh my god.
- Did he play himself?
- He played himself
- 'Cause I was gonna say, I'd love to see him playing
somebody else.
- He played the president and he did the role really well.
- Yes, imagine that.
- Yeah.
(laughter)
(applause)

Barack Obama, was kind of like my audition to work with
Miss Michelle Obama, our First Lady.
