Why would Simon give up this channel it has 2.36M subs and the last one Simon did got 200k views since the change nothing has cracked 80k. The only channels he should have gave up was “TopTen” but Simon still should do a couple from time to time and someone else could do “Geo Graphics” “Brain Blaze” and “Side Projects” and if that doesn’t take enough work off of Simons plate maybe let someone try “ into the shadows “or split up “Mega projects” in 1/2 with Simon and someone else. I think Simon has to host at least “Today I Found Out” “Bio graphics” “war graphics” “the casual criminalist”. Like especially from a financial aspect it’s gotta be killing this channel they don’t even get as many views. I don’t mean to sound mean to this guy he seems like a nice dude. But even if it’s an interesting subject I can’t get into watching much of it he loses me a few minutes in.
William Stephenson spent many Sundays in Oshawa Ontario a few miles away from camp x at the McLaughlin manor. Same place Billy Madison was filmed. With the officers training at camp x. Now known as Parkwood estate
To echo some previous comments, Karl, you seem to have gotten more comfortable in the hosting role for this channel and it shows. I'm enjoying the more natural delivery and getting Karl being Karl and not Simon. Thanks to you and the production staff for doing all you do!

I think you're doing well, Karl. You're growing into your role in a fine manner. I wish I had more tips, but am happy with how you're doing things. You and your Fact Fiend crew! Speaking of FF, how many damn episodes do you have on Spider Man? Holy crap it's a LOT, lol
I remember when you were just a dude with a premise and a green screen. Didn't know you'd signed on with Simon, let alone that you escaped his basement.
Great Vid; smoothness comes with time and to be honest I don't perceive anything that's I'd find distracting from the videos. I like your style Karl, you keep doing you! Cheers!
Can we get a Henry Kissinger biography? I also enjoy the kings and pharaohs series. Would be great to expand to other cultures too such as some of the ancient Indian kingdoms, the Khmer, the khans, the various Chinese dynasties etc.
In 1979 Stephenson was portrayed by David Niven in the miniseries A Man Called Intrepid, based on William Stevenson's bestseller, A Man Called Intrepid.
Consider the sheer number of channels that he has worked and runs. I would not be surprised if he was on the way to getting burn out or potentially was unhappy with the quality of the videos coming out so he stepped back to focus on the ones he wanted to run and handed others to people he deemed the best replacement. There could be a menagerie of reasons.
@@smugs7921 I was kind of figuring that, because ya home boy does have a shit ton of content so I could see the burn out. Just was curious cause it went from being interim host to now just host.
It was never actually Simons channel in the first place, he was just the host The owner of the channel then died as ownership passed to his daughter who by her own admission did a poor job of managing the channel. Simon then left this and a few other channel to focus on his own work
Also the Canadians using something called 'Hydra' against the Nazi's is funny because in Marvel comics Hydra is a secret Nazi research group lead by Captain America villain the Red Skull.
I not only like Simon and still watch him , I watch you sir since you've sat in the chair . I not only not want to see what will happen , I want to see a different take on the show in its offering . I so far am not displeased nor feel I will be in the foreseeable future . Thanks for the entertainment and work everyone does there .
I'm not saying "Simon Whistler" sounds like a spy name, but I'm not not saying it either, and I'm also not saying that is why he's no longer hosting biographics.
I would recommend everyone read the book 'The True Intrepid' by Bill MacDonald. There is also a book codenamed simply 'The Bible' which recorded the incredible exploits of Stephenson and the BSC. There are only a few copies still kept under tight wraps. Bill also started the Cold War. So much kisses in this video!
About 3 years ago the channel BBC Reel did a vid claiming a Serbian named Dustov Popov was the inspiration for Fleming's James Bond. So i'm guessing Ian was inspired by more than one spook?
I think Karl is doing a great job! And we can get Simon through his other channels. Does anyone know why he has passed the biographics baton to Karl? Is he just so busy with his other channels?
Sorry Smallwood. Was watchin a Simon on Tupac and posted a a comment referring to you as Goodwood. After all it's not what you got, it's how you use it ! Anyways part of his rant was internet feuds and how they're sometimes used to fuel the publicity machine. I suggested that you and he start one ! Maybe a rap-battle to follow ! Of course the winner will be pre-determined. All the best fights are but it will serve to increase your profile. I can't see any loser in this ! All I want is my my 10% for publicity, promotion an merch. Andan option on T.V. , film, etc. Yours, Truly.
You are doing great! You Tube as well as any media platform which involves human presence involves a process that morphs, both in presentation and interest/viewers. Your's is a bit more complicated due to a previous host - which, solely on routine, is a challenge for viewers accustomed to... Doing great, dont measure this in moments, rather years. Thanks from TX
Ok the Nazi's were bad and all but assuming people knew how bad before the concentration camps were discovered - which is what changed a lot of peoples minds & attitudes about the European front of the war - detracts somewhat from the piece. We shouldn't be incredulous that people, especially Americans, needed convincing prior to that.
Suggestion. Wear the coat covering whatever it is you have done to your arm. I found myself staring at that and only half way listening to you. I am sure your arm is not what you are meaning to promote here.
Nope it isn't the same without Simon I'm unsubscribing to ALL CHANNELS, that no longer feature Simon. I truly hope that all the great writers stand by Simon and if they don't then, thank you for the memories. What an idiotic decision to get rid of the best narrator on TH-cam

I want to see Karl do a Biographics video on Simon!!!
To echo some previous comments, Karl, you seem to have gotten more comfortable in the hosting role for this channel and it shows. I'm enjoying the more natural delivery and getting Karl being Karl and not Simon. Thanks to you and the production staff for doing all you do!
You're getting more relaxed into this role. I'd prefer permanent rather than interim host. You're doing a good job man
Seconded!

"I'm not as aerodynamic as Simon" lmao. Your alright:)
you're getting a lot better Karl I'm here for it
Great job Karl. You are steadily smoothing out your performances on this channel.
According to the Manitoba Dept. of Vital Statistics, William Samuel Clouston Stanger was born Jan. 23, 1897.
I think you're doing well, Karl. You're growing into your role in a fine manner. I wish I had more tips, but am happy with how you're doing things. You and your Fact Fiend crew!

The man loves Spider-Man!
I remember when you were just a dude with a premise and a green screen. Didn't know you'd signed on with Simon, let alone that you escaped his basement.
ok karl, your growing on me....I can see you getting more comfortable as time goes on......well done, keep up the great work.
You are doing just fine, Karl! I love your laid-back style. :) Besides, Simon's got a ton of other channels where I can watch him, so no worries :D
The format for this channel has gone from professional and clean to a bro podcast
While you aren't Simon, you shouldn't try to be. Be you.
You are a fine presenter of these videos. Keep it up.
Great Vid; smoothness comes with time and to be honest I don't perceive anything that's I'd find distracting from the videos. I like your style Karl, you keep doing you! Cheers!
Great delivery Carl. I think you are a very good presenter. Getting betterer and betterer.
It’s time to do a biographic video on Jerry Lawson who created the technology that paved the way for modern gaming.
No inclusion of Ian Fleming, the author of the 007 books and a member of ww II
British intelligence ??
Stephenson _did_ get a movie about his career: ”A Man Called Intrepid” (1982) where he was portrayed by David Niven. That, BTW, was Niven’s last film.
It was a lot earlier than that being
filmed in 78 and released in 79
I should know as I was an extra
You should do a story on the Pathfinders, who during WW2 helped Shephard lost pilots
Please do a video about Ernest Shackleton
I love your presentation. F the haters, Karl, you're just as good as Simon.
As someone born and raised in Manitoba, and who is very interested in history, I can't believe I never knew about him!
He addressed my University Graduation in Winnipeg, his hometown in 1980. There is street named after him also.
Well, I don't know about your detractors, but this old lady in Texas LOVES your accent!
And this old man in Texas likes his video/presentation
Can we get a Henry Kissinger biography? I also enjoy the kings and pharaohs series. Would be great to expand to other cultures too such as some of the ancient Indian kingdoms, the Khmer, the khans, the various Chinese dynasties etc.
Hats off ! Your doin fine. Ain't easy being just who we are, sometimes.
I never knew that Roald Dahl was a spy. If Biographics doesn’t have a video on Dahl, please consider making one!
Love your work karl! Keep going! Please consider Athelstan the Glorious! The first king of england
In 1979 Stephenson was portrayed by David Niven in the miniseries A Man Called Intrepid, based on William Stevenson's bestseller, A Man Called Intrepid.
Why isn't Simon doing biographics anymore?

Simon's focus is the cold read channels
It was never actually Simons channel in the first place, he was just the host
The owner of the channel then died as ownership passed to his daughter who by her own admission did a poor job of managing the channel.
Simon then left this and a few other channel to focus on his own work
@@agentk1073 that makes a ton of sense!
I think you're doing great!
Amazing video as always! Suggestion: Leopold I of belgium, he lead such an interesting life!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Also the Canadians using something called 'Hydra' against the Nazi's is funny because in Marvel comics Hydra is a secret Nazi research group lead by Captain America villain the Red Skull.
I like Karl. He's a good host who doesn't try to just copy Simon. I'll keep watching these.
Suggestion: Henry Kissinger, FINALLY!
I not only like Simon and still watch him , I watch you sir since you've sat in the chair . I not only not want to see what will happen , I want to see a different take on the show in its offering .

YOU'RE DOING GREAT. SIMON IS SIMON, AND WE LOVE HIM.
WE CAN LOVE YOU, AS WELL. THE SCRIPTS ARE ALWAYS WORTH IT.
I'm not saying "Simon Whistler" sounds like a spy name, but I'm not not saying it either, and I'm also not saying that is why he's no longer hosting biographics.
Do one with Charles XII🙏🏻
You're doing well Karl. Just stay as close to yourself as you can.
Happy to have you here Not Simon....I mean Karl. 😂 🥰✌️
Yoooo its Brad! Oh and Karl? Lets go fact fiend crew!!
Think this new guy just talks too much nonsense… “Hydra… we just thought it was cool” uh man
Could we get one on Gi Hyeong-do he was a korean poet 1960-1989 his story is a really interesting one but very obscure
I love the sponsor square face.
That bit @21:06 had me rolling, what a grab 😜
Well done! Great episode
Never. EVER! Wear that pink & blue jacket again.
Ever, ever. Ever...

Biographics, could you consider a podcast?
About 3 years ago the channel BBC Reel did a vid claiming a Serbian named Dustov Popov was the inspiration for Fleming's James Bond. So i'm guessing Ian was inspired by more than one spook?
Sorry guys im out...good luck buddy
I'm enjoying yiur stuff already😂
Just isn't the same without simon
Yeah these ads are sad
Eh? Im here to learn
Karl’s doing great! Go away you troll.
I think Karl is doing a great job! And we can get Simon through his other channels.
Does anyone know why he has passed the biographics baton to Karl? Is he just so busy with his other channels?
Karl has been good but what happened to Simon? Didn’t watch for awhile and now he’s just gone?
Missed the anteater today. ;) Thanks for another informative vid!

Any coincidence that he looks exactly like Piers Morgan 🤔
And a new conspiracy has been born.
Think you're doing fine Karl.
We miss Simon
I see you guys are big fans of Indy Neidell's World War II channel too, he did this story last week too.
Isn't it a GREAT channel?
No it's shit 😂 I prefer Karl and Simon
Who are you, and where is Simon?
good story karl
We need the fact boy
Interesting biography

I'm happy you're not Simon. I love seeing colors and not just black or gray.
Thankyou.
I knew a Stanger, she pronounced it as one would Mustang.
Funny, her name was Icelandic heritage, too. Quite a community of them, out that way. Gimli, anyone ?
. . . and her name was Sarah, funnily enough.
Your style is quirky and fun. Don't stress.
It's STANG-er rhymes with banger (and mash)
Thanks for the video
Hail Hydra!
The "So, hello" gets really old and annoying after a few videos imo, where did Simon go btw?
On tear e oh. Still laughing
5:09 spot on mate (speaks German as a second language)
"...allegedly..." = good times
I back for a presenter indy neidell
If indy becomes ill out 10k for the cha
Grow a beard and shave your head
Kidding you're growing on me
Like the Hydra, the Monster had to have a few hats !
I think you can drop the intern part now
I'm such a dinosaur, sometimes I think I deserve to be dragged and dropped. Nearest tar-pit ?
If you like the sound of his name.. go follow him 😂
Sounds likka one-man Mob !
Wait, this isnt simon?
Stay the same!
Ok the Nazi's were bad and all but assuming people knew how bad before the concentration camps were discovered - which is what changed a lot of peoples minds & attitudes about the European front of the war - detracts somewhat from the piece.

what's with the slightly unfed baby in the corner?
So he's half Icelandic
A viking mother 🇮🇸

first
No Simon = no like.
No Simon no views 😅
Simon or riot
Nope it isn't the same without Simon I'm unsubscribing to ALL CHANNELS, that no longer feature Simon. I truly hope that all the great writers stand by Simon and if they don't then, thank you for the memories.
What an idiotic decision to get rid of the best narrator on TH-cam
Simon left while the new owner of the channel was grieving the loss of her father and didnt manage the channel as well as her father did
I’m on the fence. It was good. I wasn’t keen on Josh Faulkner but he’s grown on me hope smallForrest does the same 😊
