Why Tana Mongeau Is Impossible To Cancel (Interview)

I interviewed Tana Mongeau who won Creator of the Year over MrBeast, Emma Chamberlain and David Dobrik at the Streamy Awards and has amassed over 5 million subscribers, an eight-figure empire, an OnlyFans agency, and products like Dizzy and Tanabis. But what's most impressive is that she's done this all after bouncing back from moments like TanaCon (her rival event to VidCon which featured Casey Neistat and Shane Dawson as speakers) and her wedding to Jake Paul. So does her comeback prove that Tana Mongeau is impossible to cancel? Watch this interview to find out.

[@tonicowan-brown]

Not an interview I expected to enjoy as much as I did (just goes to show - avoid making assumptions) and wow was I blown away. I love learning people's stories like this.

[@youshaei]

Thank you!! Yeah Tana doesn’t get enough credit so tried to really research questions to show a different side

[@tonicowan-brown]

@@youshaei she really doesn't and I love her vulnerable and brave approach to being willing to make mistakes, learn from them and grow in front of millions. She's killing it

[@asdfguiwsertyuio3689]

@@youshaei you teased out the pragmatism in Tana's business mind like no other podcast has done before. Great content Jon, keep it up! Would love to see this side of more of our favourite creators so all the best with continuing the growth of your channel and congratulations for what you have been able to build so far. Team Jon!!!

[@youshaei]

Thank you!! Hope you like the other interviews like this on my channel, lots more coming 🚀

[@wholeheartedlisa]

Tana is right you are an icon Jon 🎉❤great interview

[@Tinmantoo]

The way she looked in the last Cancelled pod and they way she looks here ...Tana, dare i say you are in your 'Tana Grainge era'. Go off 👏

[@emilykalatzis]

I THOUGHT THE SAME. She’s looking a-list. Glam on point.

[@josefina_c]

rebrand is popping

[@samtaylor2404]

the rebrand is rebranding for sure

[@twilit]

Tania Richie era 😂

[@shannon-ln4fp]

“if a man thinks i’m dumb, i can’t wait to be his boss one day” love her

[@rochac1999]

This is truly something the internet needed. Thanks for allowing Tana to feel comfortable enough to be herself and show her now more mature and self-aware version.

[@youshaei]

She is a complete natural! Thanks for watching 😃

[@itsyourgirl_9899]

I'm so happy Tana did this interview, she really showed how mature and intelligent she is.

[@Learntarott]

She showed us that KZbin has changed and grown and so has she

[@krystinsheakley1810]

I almost don’t believe its her… 😂

[@emilykalatzis]

Tana has pulled it together over this last few years to CELEBRITY. Her glam is incredible, her hair is on point. She’s dialled in. Vulnerable. Huge things coming her way.

[@youshaei]

Love this

[@rochac1999]

The fact that Tana threw herself to into public opinion at 16 blows my mind every single time, an interview like this was definitely needed to understand that Tana is just a human being growing up in front of of our screens. Props to everyone who made this possible

[@youshaei]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I try to do with my interviews 🙏

[@abbyz13]

I’m the same age as her and I used to come home from high school & watch her videos. It’s crazy to me now she was really that young and putting herself out there on this platform, proud of her for coming so far

[@epicleak]

the thing that i’ve always loved about tana is that she’s a NORMAL HUMAN BEING she’s not PR trained she’s not gonna change herself for the internet she is completely and utterly herself. it’s so refreshing seeing someone NORMAL online & of course people are going to have bad things to say about her because she grew up online, not everyone’s mistakes are recorded or shared like hers.

[@NadiaVenice]

She looks so mature and professional. So proud of her.

[@youshaei]

She killed it!

[@fryeesaucee]

Tana has become so mature over the years. She is honestly a huge role model in my life, and I am so happy to see her become successful and do what she loves.

[@youshaei]

Love this 🥹

[@MaxiiParedes]

This was beautiful, it's always so refreshing when Tana gets to talk business and progress with someone so respectful! Great job both of you

[@kalynnmanker5220]

Tana this made me literally cry because i feel like we have grown up together and I can relate even w my off line life so much of what you’ve been through just being a young woman in the world. I am so incredibly proud of you and you are such an inspiration with your hard work, self assurance, confidence, the way you take risks and don’t take shit. Ugh ilysm ❤️

[@youshaei]

[@itsCelina96]

People don’t realize Tana is such a business girl she had no parental support grew up way to fast and not by choice just to survive and may just look like the dumb blonde but is so so savvy Love to see her growth and where she is now Iv been following since I was in high school

[@katie.wickham]

this interview was really good first time i’ve watched this channel and i’m pleasantly surprised with the editing, research and flow

[@youshaei]

Wow, really appreciate the kind words Katie! Means a lot 😊 Hope you'll stick around for my new videos!!

[@savannahg5575]

She’s gotten so mature, I’ve been watching her since 2016 and I’m so proud of her ❤

[@maryisaeva6800]

WOW. What a great interview! It’s so amazing to see Tana’s growth! While I love Tana’s content, it’s so refreshing to hear about this side of Tana. And this interview really enabled some of the greatest of Tana’s qualities to shine. The transparency of this interview, Tana’s authenticity and her diverse entrepreneurial mindset.. Bravo! Tana really is entering her ‘Sofia Richie Era’, but even better in my opinion. Go off girl ! 👏🏼

[@thatcat2511]

Omg this is the type of interview Tana has deserved for so long! As a Tana fan, sincerely thank you!

[@beccaj1093]

been watching and supporting tana since 2016. i love this girl so much and i’m so proud of who she is today. wonderful interview!

[@ashleyarechiga7521]

I love that he asks the right questions, and gives her all the time to answer them fully and with her heart. Idk this channel but I love Tana sm😩🤍🤍🤍

[@rubize]

This interview was fantastic Jon!! I loved every minute of it, and for me everything the part where she talked about still making it while not exactly being brand safe was so helpful to me! My humor is definitely not brand safe, but it’s very motivational to see there is still a route for make it! ❤Keep making great content, Jon! Thanks for all the great mentorship and advice! (Also I have got to try that Tanabis haha)

[@youshaei]

Thanks Rubize!! Yeah Tana dropped so many gems during this interview 💎

[@laurajurgeleit8655]

God I love her. I always have, something about her controversies have never made me think she was a bad person all the way through. I'm so proud of her. One of the things I love about myself is how self aware I am when I make mistakes or I behave wrong. I think she has helped me with that. I hope she continues to go down this path, I think her having periods of being sober has done WONDERS for her headspace

[@kacie1995]

whenever i watch Tana interviews people are always asking her the same few questions. thank you for keeping this interesting and asking more in depth questions. Tanas is so intelligent

[@kaylink5277]

The chills and joy I feel listening to this. I have been following Tana since 2015 and she has never changed for the worst. Such a success and showing so much promise for her future.

[@MaybeItsElena]

Tana you’re so beautiful and well spoken❤ You did amazing !!!

[@youshaei]

Right?! She absolutely killed it 👏

[@59doll]

i wish Tana knew how much i love her. She’s the only person i can watch and never get tired of. She’s such an inspiration to me. I remember watching your toothbrush story time years ago and being one of ur biggest supporters ever since. i LOVE you

[@youshaei]

The Tana fans are unmatched 👏 Thanks for watching

[@victorbucio699]

The ending of this interview really got me tearing up. What Tana said is so real, I think most of us have had that moment where we lay in bed as a kid and wish we had a “better life”. Her come up really is amazing, so much love Tana 🫶🏼 and great interview!!!

[@TiaWeston]

I see Tana I click

[@asdfguiwsertyuio3689]

Great episode Jon & Tana. It was great to see the pragmatic/business Tana as I dont think another podcast has ever been able to strip away her humorous podcast persona and highlight the logical side of her mind as apposed to the emotions based mind. I hope your channel continues to grow so we can see the pragmatism in more of our favourite creators. Well done & all the best, I'll be watching for sure 😌

[@Meghanalyssa99]

Great podcast episode! I love you Tana! Good job Jon asking some more personal questions this truly was a great episode.

[@youshaei]

Thank you, really appreciate that!

[@gisellazamora727]

tana looks SO good. i’m so proud of her and i love that she’s authentically herself. i love having grown up with her I HOPE TO SMOKE WITH HER ONE DAY

[@EmmyK5]

I am thoroughly blown away. I literally forgot about Tana, so happy to see her growth and maturity flourish!! That is honestly so awesome to see. I had no idea Paris Hilton mentored her, that’s so smart! This made me happy, GO TANA!

[@youshaei]

She kills it!! And right? How awesome is her relationship with Paris

[@Jenny-tw3wh]

She said rebrand & she meant it. It always mazes me how self aware she is, truly such an inspiration in more ways than i thought. ❤

[@melandbelle89]

I smiled the whole way through this. I’ve loved Tana forever and truly love seeing her grow and thrive. Props to the interviewer for well posed questions and flow

[@youshaei]

Thank you Mel! 🙏

[@kalynnmanker5220]

I’m going to watch this video once a week for reassurance, inspiration, and to get myself in the right headspace thank you

[@paulinemm4775]

I think Tana is brilliant in marketing herself as someone to underestimate even though I think she is highly emotionally intelligent and rhetorically really strong! Love her ❤

[@youshaei]

Well said!!

[@amelinevillalobos9345]

This is a great example of what a healthy growing person looks like! Because we are all misfits in our early years in life but only a few actually do the difficult part in learning self awareness’s and grow to become amazing and successful human beings ❤️ love you tana proud of you girl

[@barnyard0394]

This was an amazing interview and honestly, I've always loved Tana and this interview and video clearly shows why. She has grown and learned so much and even back then, she took accountability and owned it. Seeing how well she has done for herself, her wealth of knowledge, her business sense, and her strength. So inspiring and great work Jon! Brilliant interview!

[@youshaei]

Thank you so much!

[@caitydid1306]

Tana is such a refreshing person in this space, it’s been so amazing watching her grow up and mature over the years. She is so incredibly smart and I’m glad people are starting to see that.

[@mayaSpielman]

Tana we love you so much! You're maturing and so honest!! What an amazing woman ❤

[@kaylajenai7]

I love Tana so much. I feel like I’ve grown up with her over the years. Thank you for showing us more of this side of her ❤ So incredibly proud of the woman she’s become.

[@disKComfort]

If tana started a channel like Sunday I bet creators would be all over watching that! I know I would 🤙 great interview Jon!

[@ariafelisha]

Literally got choked up (on tears lol) towards the end of this conversation 🥲 I've been following Tana's journey for YEARS so watching this feels like a full circle for me. ⭕ *saves this podcast to designing la vida playlist*

[@0MissElizabeth0]

Love the little subtitles that show up from time to time

it’s actually crazy she managed to do so well for herself with no parental guardian or figure giving his any type of advice or help

Very interesting video. As always learned a lot from it. Fans can certainly lift u up and bring u lots of happiness and guidance. Enjoyed watching it. Keep up the good work . Very proud of u❤️🥰👏👏👏

[@purpdidthat]

I’ve watched Tana since I was 12. I’m 20 now. Never missed a video. Feels like we grew up together.

[@kateh2078]

Tana in the beginning: "I didn't have anybody to tell me no" Tana towards the end: "If somebody is telling you no, then you're asking the wrong person" 😂

[@youshaei]

Haha growth!!

[@xHarwant]

Commenting before I watch but oooweee excited for this one!!

This is great! Tana is so smart and well spoken and definitely doesn’t get enough credit for it, glad she is letting this side of her show.

[@youshaei]

Right?! She's incredibly eloquent - so happy people can finally see this side of her

tana. first off i wanna say i have been here since the toothbrush video lol. i just want to say i’ve been rooting for you from the sidelines this whole time and am so proud to see what a wonderful woman you have blossomed into. you’re still our “tana” but, the class you carry now and the confidence it’s all there. love you queen.

[@youshaei]

This is so nice, thanks for watching!

[@mellyfj]

@@youshaei of course, great interview from both sides!

[@anubisthacutest4752]

I've never heard of this channel before but you did a good job🔥 had to hit the like automatically. Only thing that would've made this interview better is if it was at least an hour 😭

[@aslamiyamohamed2526]

What a lovely interview!

[@kyleebeeton8109]

She's grown up in front of you, she deserves all the things. I think Jeff makes her like herself more because he honours her as a woman... nothing else ❤ loads of respect for Tana

[@gabrielgrassmayrtoo]

I only remember Tana from her Jake Paul vlog appearances. I’m glad to see her in a different light on this show! It’s great to see the thinking and the characters behind a person that wasn’t really portrayed like that before

[@youshaei]

So happy to hear this! This is always my goal :)

[@samanthalee6759]

This was such a great interview 😊

[@youshaei]

Thank you so much! That means a lot 😊

[@user-hf3gs9xf9d]

I think Paris taught her a lot about the power of being underestimated. She portrays herself to be dummer and more of a mess than she really is, while she may still be having fun creating these memories or stories. She has placed herself in a category of being this kind of dumb bimbo business women who people underestimate.

[@laura9299]

Tana!!!!! You look STUNNING 🤩 🥰😍 this was so good to watch and see this side of her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽👍🏽💪🏽

[@jonnyxbell]

Fascinating to hear how bigger creators think, and how they behave, conceptualise and actualise off camera

[@youshaei]

Thank you so much!

[@wannarewind]

Great interview Jon, love your work.

[@youshaei]

Thank you so much!

[@thats.so.logan00]

I have seen for a long time how intelligent tana is and how her brand was built on a different image than what the real her may be. It’s good to see the two merge like Paris Hilton was able to do. It’s satisfying to know that tana gets the last laugh for anyone who underestimated her. Not everyone is built into mass privilege and fortune. It’s nice to see a more real glimpse at the creators and their mistakes. She is the satire of the internet this decade and I will always be here for tana in-front of the camera and the behind the scenes business women who’s been driving this train to work since 16. Right on girl.

[@maggies7890]

This may be the best interview Tana has done, I'm so glad it was with you

[@Jackietaboada]

You've grown so much Tana growing up with you has been a wild ride love you girly

Wow! This girl has changed and grown up a lot, and I'm impressed that she has taken her life experience and made it work for her.

[@youshaei]

Same here, it's about time!

[@lexoxox55]

Thank you for taking the time to ask thought provoking questions, and partaking in actual conversation rather than just asking how much she makes on onlyfans & sexual questions. This is amazing ❤

LOVED this interview

[@melodeeznutss]

Maybe this is knit-picky of me but I’m not a fan of the thumbnail with Mr Beast I understand the context behind but I feel like it defeats the whole point of this interview which was to portray her as a strong independent woman she is the clickbait all on her own lol she doesn’t need a popular male influencers face for people to wanna watch this

[@melodeeznutss]

That being said I still loved this interview so much and I really appreciated the types of questions he asked!!!

[@SHEILAcmk]

He mustve listened to your advice because the thumbnail doesn’t have Mr Beast in it now

[@tarifficsoap]

Just found Jon after the Liza & Smosh interviews, and I gotta say -- this guy is exceptionally underrated. He's well-researched, has a vested interest in his interviewees, and possesses this inimitable talent of shaping the interview both to the viewer's wants and the influencer's comfort level. That's all on top of having a voice that is, as plain and simple as it sounds, just nice to listen to! A fantastic interviewer who is going right to the top of my favorite channels! Thanks Jon 😊

[@youshaei]
