YouTube stars making the late-night talk show rounds is by no means a new phenomenon, though last night, popular host Jimmy Kimmel said he personally sought out Logan Paul to guest on his show given that his young cousins are obsessed with the digital star.
Appearing to promote the second season of his Watchable series Logan Paul Vs, the 22-year-old talked about his digital career -- which was eight years in the making -- as well as some of the dangerous stunts he’s performed both on Vs and off. In addition to wrestling alligators and bears this season, for instance, Paul recounted a particularly eye-popping stunt for a vlog in which he fell off a table directly onto his genital area -- resulting in an emergency surgery to remove 15% of his right testicle.

While his brother Jake spent the summer generating one attention-grabbing headline after another, Logan Paul has mostly managed to focus on his own career in online video. The latest project for the elder Paul sibling is the second season of Logan Paul Vs., a frenetic reality series that can be found on Comcast's Watchable platform.
In each episode of Logan Paul Vs., its titular star -- whose digital presence includes more than 11 million YouTube subscribers -- dives into a physically demanding activity and does his best to succeed in his new surroundings. For his first challenge, he enters the world of American Ninja Warrior, the popular TV show that airs on Comcast-owned NBC. Coached by a seasoned Anw competitor, Paul takes a crack at the show's exhausting obstacle course. He manages to do pretty well for himself, impressing commentators Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila with his strength and skill.

Elevated’s Cassian Elwes and The Fyzz Facility’s Wayne Marc Godfrey are executive producing. Principal photography recently wrapped in central California.
Destination Wedding tells the story of two miserable and unpleasant wedding guests, both pariahs at this affair, who develop a mutual affection despite themselves. But to act on those feelings would be to trust hope over experience, a foolish choice indeed.

Vine may be shutting down, but one of its biggest stars is just getting started. The All-American babyfaced bro Logan Paul made a name for himself on the soon-to-be defunct platform with physical comedy routines condensed into three beats for six-second videos that tell their own mini-stories. Following in the longstanding tradition of Buster Keaton, his pratfalls and dumb jock persona have much more in common with Jim Carrey and the “Jackass” guys.
