Steve Smith (comedian)
In 1991 Smith starred in "The Red Green Show". In all, 300 episodes of the series were produced. In 1997, Smith was credited as his alter-ego, Red Green, in "Pavement", an episode of the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim show "Space Ghost Coast to Coast". In 2002 the full-length movie "Duct Tape Forever" was produced. Smith writes a syndicated newspaper column as Red Green, distributed by Newspaper Enterprise Association. In 2009, as a public service announcement by the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ontario Power Generation, Smith supplied his voice as a talking fish warning the dangers of illegal fishing near government hydro dams. In 2004 Smith hosted a show on Space called "Steve Smith Playhouse".
Hank Green
Following the success of "Crash Course" and "SciShow," Green and his brother John partnered with "Mental Floss" to produce and co-host a YouTube channel based on the magazine. Both Green brothers wrote for the magazine years before they were approached to help launch the YouTube channel. The first series, called "The List Show", features John Green presenting several interesting facts and bits of trivia related to a central topic. The channel has since launched two other series: "Big Questions", hosted by Craig Benzine, and "Misconceptions", hosted by Elliott Morgan. Initially, Hank was slated to host a quiz show based on his abandoned YouTube channel "Truth or Fail", in which viewers would answer several questions via link annotations, jumping from video to video to find out answers and get more questions. Only one episode of the "Quiz Show" was released, though Hank has stayed on as producer on the other series, as well as occasionally guest hosting "The List Show".
