Are We Building Our Own Extinction?

What does a stand-up set tagged for Penn State and an arrest have to do with extinction? Josh Johnson's title asks "Are We Building Our Own Extinction?", and the tags hint that the road there runs through a college town and a run-in with the law. The set was recorded at The Bushnell, the historic theater in Hartford, Connecticut, with animation by Luke Stone laid over the jokes, and it has already passed a million views.

It arrived on the same day as "I hope you can accept my apology," a second upload that has gathered about half as many views and is still moving at a healthy clip. That pairing fits the promise in his channel's about line, new stand-up every Tuesday night, and the Daily Show writer-turned-correspondent has built his channel on exactly that steady rhythm.

Behind the two newcomers, "An example of white privilege" is still drawing a steady stream at almost a month old, past two million views. Subscriber numbers held flat. Among stand-up channels, Jimmy Carr and Matt Rife are both running above their usual pace, and Johnson sits right in the middle of the group by subscribers.
