Actor and YouTuber Mikey Murphy launched his career on the platform with his 2013 video "What I Do When I Am Home Alone!” and quickly established himself as a key influencer through comedic vlogs and collaborations. Known for his popular weekly videos including “People Telling Their Crush They Like Them” (with 2M+ views), Mikey and fellow YouTubers have helped to build each other’s subscribership, most notably in cross-promotions with best friend Luke Korns—both reaching 1M subscribers at roughly the same rate. In 2016, Mikey appeared in Dirty 30 with YouTube’s “Holy Trinity,” and collaborated with influencer Connor Franta at Camp17 for a People exclusive.
