About This Video
Michael "What The Buck" Buckley talks with Liz Shannon Miller in a fireside chat at NewTeeVee Live 2008 about how he gained prominence on YouTube with his breakaway hit show. In the fall of 2007 he became aware that he attained the rank of 98th most subscribed comedian of all times with 300 subscribers. This spurred his competitive energy to rise in the totem pole. At the point, he obviously was making no money on YouTube. He had a full-time job until September 2008, while working another forty hours per week these past couple of years on his You Tube channel. At that turning point, his subscriber base had grown to more than 300,000 and it no longer made sense to work for someone else.
