If you guys can get Jenna to sit down with you, even virtually, there's so many millennials that would explode with joy. I don't care about the nitty gritty of why she left, but I'd love to hear her talk about her wild experiences pioneering so much of YT and the beginnings of internet culture. I could watch a whole ass documentary about those times.

[@therealsierra98]

This would be amazing 😢

[@crashton999]

I would give my entire collection of all things I possess to witness this. I miss Jenna SO much.

[@fortynights1513]

She’s had a pretty long run on KZbin

[@chopstixy]

Me too! I’ve been such a fan for so long and it was so tough watching her go through chemo but she got through it and kicked cancers ass!!

[@SuperPhoneDialer]

@@chopstixy Hi :3 cancer survivor here! As patients we don't really fight anything, it's pretty much luck and timing if you survive. Me and many other survivors and sufferers would like to change the way we talk about getting through the disease, getting away from fight-centric language!

Omg I watched her as a kid and had no idea she had cancer! She looks wonderful I’m so glad to see her on Smosh

[@RiP-eq8be]

God this made me so happy. Grace was such a huge part of my life at a very lonely time. Having something to look forward to every day was honestly such a gift. She also facilitated the weirdest fandom experience I have ever had - I went to one of hers, Mamrie and Hannah’s shows on my own, first time in London alone, and, through the power of Tumblr, could actually name maybe 1/3 of the members of the audience. One Tumblr famous fan was pulled up on stage and at least half the audience gasped her name. Wild.

[@itsgrace]

tumblr was so important!

[@RiP-eq8be]

@@itsgraceit was a weird and special time! I feel nostalgic for it sometimes, it was weirdly indescribable and nothing since has quite felt like tumblr in 2011-14ish. But I’m glad I experienced it then and glad to have continued to know you in an internet way all this time. 💙

[@Femtastico]

Im glad ian and anthony have a few ppl who went through similar experiences. Og youtubers, they are rare nowadays! Im happy that they and Grace could understand each other like that, great episode!!

[@brilab]

grace has been one of my favorite people on the internet for well over a decade. I love this collab so much 💞

[@draisens]

Anthony's interview instincts are kicking in. Lucky for Ian that this side of Anthony's is there for the support.

[@--Danni--]

And lucky for Anthony that there’s someone to make a funny joke, cause he gets very one track in interviews

[@JefferyPeterson]

Watching Grace’s face came while she watches her old content is the closest I have ever felt to how I feel when I think about things that have happened in my past. This feeling of “oh dear god, please let me reach out and help this person. I can see them crying for help”

[@Firelupe4ever]

45:00 Erin blushed sooo hard when she was mentioned to Grace. 😆

[@KS-xk2so]

It makes sense though lol Erin's deadpan comedy feels like it slots into a lot of Helbig's stuff pretty well.

[@thomasvanacker3722]

"There is a reliable clown in this room for you everyday" might just be the most profound line of my life.

[@janusclaymore]

CAN YA SEE IT?!? Grace mf Helbig!!! I’m so excited!!

[@xenzirril]

Thanks for having Grace on ! For me, it's a rare occasion that channels that I follow have any kind of cross over. I also saw on Grace's Instagram that she was asking which of her videos she should re-watch, so maybe this was a content inspiration?

[@ReturnOf2008]

This upload is very timely for me bc 10 years ago, Grace was my commencement speaker at my school’s graduation. Glad to continue to see her in the space!

[@AmandaMarie59]

it was the vacant stares and monotone delivery that hooked us in the first place

[@katebeckett5326]

I have to give all credit to Grace for being my introduction to KZbin. If I consistently watch a KZbin channel (Smosh, GMM, Sourcefed, etc) it was because Grace introduced me to them.

[@Brandon11746]

never watched any of her content, but she seems fun

[@rhettmitchell]

⁠@@Brandon11746 she’s so funny. Her collab videos with Hannah Hart and Mamrie Hart back in the day are the best! It’s just a lot of them being drunk and playing games together or doing crafts. Super funny and wholesome. They were called the Holy Trinity of KZbin for a while. She also has a ton with Tyler Oakley along with the other 2 girls I mentioned

[@peterwall9999]

grace was the very first person i ever subscribed to and is probably one of the only ones i still watch to this day, shes like sunshine who always brightens my mood, after everything shes been through with kicking breast cancers ass im so happy to see her thriving again , love you grace

[@itsgrace]

💖

[@TM.BECK14]

I've never heard of Grace before (didn't really get into watching KZbin until the pandemic) but she seems like a pretty cool/chill (and relatably humorous) person. Glad to hear she's in a better place mentally these days and wishing her the best in her cancer journey. My mom went thru breast cancer treatment a few years ago and it's definitely a tough time all around.

[@JamaicanRain]

I love how this comment section is filled with people actually somewhat around your age; people you’d hang out with if you were in another life. It must be a nice change.

[@wedontexist369]

A lot of people here are clearly kids. Cringey fan girls who make other people their entire life. They also speak in purely internet TikTok slang. Very cringe individuals.

[@saradoll1116]

GRACE! love her. I absolutely remember the bang cutting video lol

[@ct5625]

I love how Grace compartmentalizes by referring to her past self in the third person. This is valid a coping mechanism I would use if I had to see or even hear myself. lol

Been a die hard Grace fan from the beginning. Pretty sure I found her on tumblr. She really has helped me raise me. I’m in my early 30s, and have very much related to the soul searching she’s been going through. Shes done it so elegantly and it’s very inspiring. Whether it’s making a sexy grilled cheese or talking about her travels on This Might Get Weird, I’ll be tuning in

[@BaNkR_7-TeeN]

"Cheesecake" isn't a kind of cake. Technically it's a tart. "Pumpkin pie" and "pecan pie" are also tarts because a pie has to be fully encased with crust... in the UK. In America, it's all pie. Including cheesecake. Cheesecake is pie, Ian.
