He was banned, canceled, arrested, committed to a mental institution, and still came back bigger than ever. Charleston White is one of the most controversial voices on the internet. Some see him as a comedian. Some see him as a provocateur. Others think he's a genius hiding behind chaos. In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Charleston White sits down with Sean Kelly to discuss internet fame, comedy, politics, mental health, China, Trump, the collapse of the middle class, fatherhood, race relations, police, and the shocking story of being placed in a mental institution over social media posts. Charleston explains how he transformed from a viral internet personality into a recognizable brand, why streamers have become more influential than rappers, and why he believes the next generation will shape a better future than the current one.
