\nFox Creator Studios has set a production pact with comedian Tom Segura\u2019s YMH Studios for a slate of projects designed to be released on his exiting digital and direct-to-consumer channels.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe deal calls for Fox Creator Studios and YMH to jointly develop and finance properties that will be released through YMH\u2019s established digital and podcast networks. Austin-based YMH Studios has 2.1 million followers on YouTube. Segura is highly regarded as a standup comedian who has logged seven Netflix standup specials since 2014, and he leads the comedy vignette series \u201cBad Thoughts\u201d that is available on the streamer.<\/p>\n

\n\tFox\u2019s goal in establishing the Fox Creator Studios is to get into business with established content entrepreneurs with a track record for building multiple business ventures on the foundation of their successful podcasts and personalities. In addition to Segura, personalities who work with YMH include Bert Kreischer, Christine Pazsitzky, Lauren Compton and Danny Brown. YMH Studios is headed by president Ryan P. Hall. Fox Creator Studios launched in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, led by media executive and investor Billy Parks. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey are building businesses on their own,\u201d Parks tells Variety,<\/em> who launched Fox Creator Studios at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Parks was impressed that YMH even launched the \u201c2 Bears 5K\u201d touring venture that involves a 5K run with Kreischer and Segura that lands in various cities. The event leverages the fanbases for both standups by offering participants a chance to experience \u201cfun, community and a legendary after-party,\u201d per the 2B5K website.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey have not just a podcast that Tom is on, but a podcast network that he\u2019s built and supports with other podcasts that they own and operate. They have ad sales and a direct-to-consumer audience where they\u2019re actually putting content up for pay per view,\u201d Parks says. \u201cAnd Tom had an idea for the show [\u2018Bad Thoughts\u2019], and he said, instead of going through a lot of development and pitching and getting someone to say \u2018yes,\u2019 he put his money and his time and his energy where his mouth was. That kind of fierce independence and understanding of his own audience and the direct-to-consumer relationship is very in sync with what we\u2019re doing at Creator Studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTeaming with Fox allows YMH Studios to pursue more ambitious ideas, Segura tells Variety.<\/em> The partners have an active slate of multiple projects including \u201ca stand-up comedy showcase spotlighting both established and emerging voices; a horror comedy animated series; and a live-action comedy series set in an airport bar,\u201d per Fox Creator Studios. News of the YMH Studios deal with Fox Creator Studios comes on the same day Fox\u2019s West L.A. studio lot is set to host a conference featuring a gathering of top creator economy figures, \u201cPress Publish LA: The Hollywood Creator Summit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEveryone knows it takes money to work with the people you want to work with, and you need it to just to get the cameras rolling,\u201d Segura says. \u201cIt\u2019s also the minds that work there, and hearing their input, everything from creative thoughts to maybe tapping a certain d.p. or a producer that we\u2019re able to ask about. Or it\u2019s having the discussion about what\u2019s the best approach for distributing this. They have a lot of incredible resources in that world, and that makes it exciting to have a partnership with someone that elevates what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHall says Fox\u2019s strength in adult animation with \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d and \u201cFamily Guy\u201d and other shows is a fit with YMH Studios\u2019 audience. They\u2019ve been approached by Hollywood heavyweights with offers in the past but the circumstances were never right.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBilly and I spent arguably too much time together for months and months talking through this and being like, \u2018Is this a good match?\u201d Hall says. \u201cWe really have had success by just allowing ourselves to make the thing that we want to make, and that\u2019s worked for two seasons of \u2018Bad Thoughts.\u2019 To Billy\u2019s credit and Fox\u2019s credit, they\u2019re like, We\u2019ll give you the support if you need it, but we want to give you the liberty to just kind of go. We trust your instincts, and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDigital media entrepreneurs who are succeeding at the scale of Segura and YMH Studios need that kind of speed, Hall says.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn this new creator world, you have the choice \u2014 you can make it, or just sit in business affairs for eight months. People are gonna figure out a way to make it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\n\tParks stresses that the YMH Studios deal is emblematic of the types of creators that Fox Creator Studios aims to recruit. It\u2019s also a sign that the marketplace is evolving beyond YouTubers and TikTok-ers to talent that in a different era would have pursued network sitcoms and raunchy studio comedies.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCreators come in all shapes and sizes, whether they\u2019re just publishing on TikTok, and they\u2019re want to tell a story and try something new, or they\u2019re one of the world\u2019s biggest touring comedians with two massive series on Netflix and seven comedy specials on Netflix that are a total beacon for comedians,\u201d Parks says. \u201cIt\u2019s anybody who has a great direct-to-consumer relationship with the audience and has a vision and is ready to go make it. These guys have great ideas, and we\u2019re just super-psyched that they wanted to make them here.\u201d<\/p>\n
