Philip James DeFranco Jr. (born Philip James Franchini/Franchina Jr., December 1, 1985), is an American video blogger and YouTube personality. He is most notable for The Philip DeFranco Show, usually abbreviated as PDS, a news show centered on current events, politics, pop culture, and celebrity gossip in which he voices his opinion, often presented in a satirical manner and with frequent jump cuts to create a fast-paced feel. He uploads this show on a Monday through Thursday schedule on his primary channel, Philip DeFranco (registered as sxephil). In 2016, he began to add weekend content, including The Friday Show, NSFW Saturday, and Sunday Funday. His network of channels has over two billion views, and over six million total subscribers, with his primary channel having accumulated over 5 million subscribers and 1.7 billion views, as of January 2017. DeFranco registered his sxephil YouTube channel in 2006. Early into his YouTube career, his audience led to his winning of various open access online polls. DeFranco also created various other YouTube channels, including Philly D (registered as PhilipDeFranco), a personal vlog and behind the scenes channel, and SourceFed, a Google-funded YouTube Original Channel focused on news and pop culture. SourceFed spawned a spinoff channel, SourceFed Nerd. In 2013, DeFranco sold his channels to Discovery Digital Networks. Since then DeFranco has been involved in launching ForHumanPeoples, a channel based on his merchandise line of the same name, which then transitioned to a sketch channel called Nuclear Family. He also helped launch Super Panic Frenzy, a gaming channel featuring other personalities signed by Discovery Digital, as well as TheDeFrancoFam, a family vlogging channel featuring his wife and son.
