Madonna, Dolly Parton and Dave Portnoy give Emily Jashinsky a flying start
Her Monday take on the VMAs opened at about thirty times the pace a new upload on her channel usually manages.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 132,307 views a day, 31 times a normal first day on this channel (4,246).
Dave Portnoy’s Reaction to Madonna at the VMAs Is HILARIOUS
Emily Jashinsky spent part of her Monday episode on Madonna's VMAs appearance and on Dave Portnoy's reaction to it. Barely a day later, the clip is close to 35,000 views.
What stands out is the speed. A new video on After Party usually has a quiet first day of a few thousand views. This one is running at roughly thirty times that. The show bills itself as covering everything "from news to pop culture," and here the pop culture side did the heavy lifting.
The title promises Portnoy's reaction. The Barstool Sports founder is no stranger to going viral with his own verdicts. According to the description, Jashinsky uses the moment to ask a bigger question about celebrity culture and aging gracefully. She sets Madonna against Dolly Parton, who has long been in on the joke about her own over-the-top look. Madonna and the VMAs go back to the show's first year, 1984, when she performed "Like a Virgin" in a wedding dress.
Jashinsky also turns to Taylor Swift's night. She explains why she likes that Swift still tries to make something beautiful.
