Philip James "Phil" DeFranco is an American YouTube personality. He is most notable for The Philip DeFranco Show, usually abbreviated as PDS, a news show centered on current events, politics, and pop culture in which he voices his opinion, often presented in a satirical manner and with frequent jump cuts to create a fast-paced feel. In April 2016, he began to add weekend content, including The Friday Show, NSFW Saturday, and Sunday Funday, but the latter two have not been features as of December 2016. His network of channels has over two billion views, and over six million total subscribers, with his primary channel having accumulated over 6.1 million subscribers and 2.3 billion views, as of June 2018. Early into his YouTube career, his audience led to his winning of various open access online polls.
DeFranco also created various other YouTube channels, including Philly D , a personal vlog and behind-the-scenes channel, and SourceFed, a Google-funded YouTube Original Channel focused on news and pop culture. SourceFed spawned a spinoff channel, SourceFed Nerd. In 2013, DeFranco sold his channels to Discovery Digital Networks. Since then DeFranco has been involved in launching ForHumanPeoples, a channel based on his merchandise line of the same name, which then transitioned to a sketch channel called Nuclear Family. He also helped launch Super Panic Frenzy, a gaming channel featuring other personalities signed by Discovery Digital, as well as encourage his wife to launch TheDeFrancoFam, a family vlogging channel featuring her and their sons. On May 1, 2017, Philip DeFranco made the announcement in a YouTube video that he has regained control of all of his properties and is working towards building "The Philip DeFranco Network", of which he is the founder and CEO.
