My Aunt unfortunatly lost her battle to cancer earlier this year which caused me to spiral for a bit, hearing the conversation around the topic was hard, but now listening to stories of people beating the beast is helping me regain hope in the world. Congrats Keith!!
My wife is a nurse, and I can confirm that she is unphased by having to clean your poo. In fact, treating you with dignity and respect in a situation that could embarrass you or make you feel inadequate is something she and most other nurses are happy to do.
I recently spent some time in the hospital and the nurses were wonderful. they were way understaffed so my care wasn’t all that good, but that’s on admin and not them. when i was interacting with nurses though, they were lovely and made sure that I was treated well. I give love and thanks to your wife for everything she does!!!!
Your wife is a real one. If that is her legit' stance on patient care, she's in the right profession, and the world is better for her doing what she does.
The fact that he still wanted to support the team and work speaks very highly of Keith's character. I had no idea the cancer had been THAT bad. I'm so happy for him to be doing so well now.
Seeing Keith and Hank Green both beat cancer in such a close time gives me such a good feeling. I’m a little sad Chadwick Boseman couldn’t see you guys make it too
The Tums being a part of Keith’s story is chilling to me. My dad died of a massive heart attack, and when we found him he had a bottle of Tums next to him because he thought it was heartburn. Tums is a literal omen to me. All I can say is, Keith, I’m so happy that you’re cancer-free.
While doing some family history research a few years ago I found out one of my relatives from about 60 years ago died choking on a Tums while driving. I haven't eaten anything in a moving car ever since then I'm sorry for your loss!
Being a women with Gerd and anxiety is the scariest thing ever. Women show heart attack symptoms differently then men and is usually diagnosed as anxiety, and gerd is a lot of heart burn.
So whenever Keith was doing the smosh funerals and he'd strip and dance, he was in a lot of pain and discomfort then? Damn bro, you have to respect his commitment
I had cancer from 2019-2020 and I really hope he's allowed to take life as easy as he can because even the first year after I was in remission stuff was just hard do in general. Having cancer can be just as much of a mental and emotional battle as it is physical. And it takes time to really feel "normal" again and can feel ridiculously frustrating, so I wish Keith the best in life 4ever.
As someone who lost both of their grandparents to cancer, it always makes me so emotional seeing people actually beat it. Could not be happier for Keith, can't believe he was still giving this channel his all all throughout his battle! Sending love to you all
I super relate to Keith here 😭 While I didn't have cancer, I did have a 28 cm ovarian cyst. Like Keith, a lot of people thought I was pregnant. And I was delaying going to the doctor because I thought I was just getting fat. But turns out I wasn't. Got surgery and had a c-section as well.
Very entertaining episode, I'm surprised how strong Keith is, the ability to put on a strong face and pretend nothing is wrong during something so difficult is very admirable. I pray that he stays cancer free!
I lost my mother to cancer six years ago and my jaw literally hit the floor when Keith mentioned Amelie. My mother often shows me signs that she is still with me and I think Amelie was her way of saying hello. Before she passed she made me watch that movie as it is one of her favorites of all time. I had no idea Keith was going through something like this and I admire how well he put up a front for the camera but i'm more just so thankful he is OK. Cancer gets the best of many people and im so thankful that AMELIE'S ASS IS DONE. YOu bested cancer Keith and that's something not a lot of people can do. Live your life to the fullest and surround yourself with the people who love you the most. You are absolutley right that god has found it's way to your podcast, and so has my mother. Thank you for giving her a way to connect.
My uncle had pancreatic cancer and he needed a Whipple procedure to remove it. It's such an extreme surgery but thankfully it's life saving!! I'm so grateful Keith has gotten the cancer removed and is looking so well after all that. He'll gain that healthy weight back in time as his body gets used to more foods. Also good for keith for talking about his resistance to going to the doctor. It's so important to normalize getting our bodies taken care of when we are hurting.
Cancer is so insanely scary to me. I've always had this feeling I'd get it at some point in my life (due to family history). I hope im wrong. But seeing these things gives me hope.
It’s definitely not as much as a death sentence as it used to be. Having said that I have still lost a few people from it but I also have cancer survivors in my family and friend group. One of which is my wife who is a two time breast cancer survivor. If you don’t want cancer don’t live anywhere around DC over a long period of time because I know a lot of people whose gotten cancer around me and that’s where I’ve lived my entire life, with in 60 miles of DC.

Many diseases and cancer (my grandpa and cousin died from it and my mom almost died) is common in my family, so I understand your feelings, and being a hypochondriac due to anxiety doesn't help.

So glad he got Amelie out and I hope he can start to enjoy life like he deserves a bit more from now on, right now. My respect and love goes out to Keith and anyone else who is or knows someone who is going through this kind of experience
Keith, as surgery goes that’s pretty huge. Sounds similar to a whipple’s procedure. Very impressed with how well you’re handling the recovery process. Obviously we don’t see behind the curtain but the fact you’ve managed to work consistently and appear so strong throughout your journey is incredible to me. When I had a serious illness, I was very withdrawn and looked grey… admittedly I was 10 at the time. Also sounds like it was palpable on examination… I’m an A&E doctor now and I don’t think I’ve come across someone with a survivable tumour that I could feel/see just by examining them. It’s great to see someone recovering from one.
I have leukemia and SMOSH has meant so much to me since i was little and never fails to make me smile when having hard days w chemo. i love you guys. Keith, ur so strong for going thru this and congrats for beating it ❤❤❤
Huge respect for beating cancer while still providing positive attitudes on the channel! I hope to see a much more confident and happy Keith in the soonest time❤
Always a great time with Keith :) Been looking forward to this since they mentioned he was gonna be on the next Smosh Mouth episode! So glad he's cancer free!! You're amazing Keith! 💛
My cousin and my dad didnt survive cancer. It always warms my heart when i see people who did bc i know how hard of a fight it is (from a relative´s perspective)and how brave everyone is. Couldn´t be more happy for keith
Ever since learning about what Keith was dealing with i was always very worried about how hes been doing. I'm overjoyed to hear hes beaten this cancer! Love you guys and big congratulations to you Keith!
This episode was so funny oh my god 😭 I was not expecting them to go off the rails in an episode about Keith's cancer journey but it was so good. I look forward to him coming on again eventually now that we know people can cycle on whenever (see Damien being in 2 episodes so far).
When Shane said “Let him cook!” I laughed so hard!! Congratulations on beating cancer Keith. Sending lots of love and I hope your journey of healing goes well. ❤
I found out today that one of my family friends, the mother of one of my childhood friends (and ones whose dad has known mine for years) has breast cancer. We hadn’t seen them in a while and yesterday they stopped by to say hi because it was her birthday. She mentioned the tests but got her results today. Our families have been close since I was a baby and we always see them at huge gatherings, on holidays or birthdays, and for the occasional dinner at one another’s houses. We haven’t hung out as much since COVID but they still mean a lot to us. Heck, her daughter continues to be a close friend of mine even if we don’t talk very often. I’m praying for their family and just hope they’re able to get through this; and I know they will, no matter the outcome, because they’re strong and have all the support they need. Hearing the news today made me think of Keith and this video. So… thank you, I suppose, for raising awareness. I’m so proud of you Keith, and everyone at Smosh who helped him through his difficult journey. I’m glad you’re here, you always help me laugh during your TNTL bits
as a rare cancer survivor, i feel keith. it took 18 months of chronic appendicitis pain to get diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in my appendix. it was SO awful but i felt so much better once it was out. i didn't call myself a 'survivor' until 5 years NED but we are nearing 7 years now! Hopefully good health now for you Keith!
Keith, thanks, man, for being on today. I just recently got out of the hospital myself due to brain surgery and finding out I have a heart defect, and I'm going through the recovery process as we speak, which is rough, ngl. But having someone who recently went through a tough medical situation himself just be so positive and relatable makes me feel heard, understood, and makes me want to keep pushing on because I know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. ❤
I'm so glad to hear Keith has won his hard-fought battle against cancer. I was fairly young when I lost my maternal grandmother to breast cancer. Seeing as how risks for certain cancers can be hereditary, and how men can also get breast cancer, I worry every day not just for myself but for my mother and two siblings. But I'm so glad Keith is doing well after beating cancer. Congratulations, man.
Seeing everyone joke around so worry free-ly is so refreshing, and to see Keith so happy and everyone really is such a nice thing to see. This episode has to be #1, it felt so interactive and I absaloutely loved it
Two weeks post surgery and back at work. That is INSANE. When I had my c section I remember the pain being still pretty intense at two weeks with just like standing up and moving around, and my cut was a lot smaller than the way they describe his and I still had all my organs. Big props to Keith! I hope he went home after this and let his momma take care of him.
Congratulations Keith!! I found out I had cancer in April of 2021 as well and was declared cancer free on 10/17/2022. It was always so encouraging seeing what was going on with keith we during my journey because i love keith so much and i thought it was cool that we were figuring this out at the same time and i wasn’t alone!
Also just want to say thank you Keith for being so open now about talking about this. I know you had been reluctant to say much of anything, but a lot of people care about you and what you have gone through. Telling your story may help others to get checked out more quickly.
If this vid/cast gets demonetised for a pic of a genuine (very clean, very well presented and photographed) surgical specimen, shared with Keith's explicit permission, I'mma rage. I've been a pathology technician for almost 8 years, and what I've learned is that there isn't enough general awareness about these things. People don't want to see it or hear about it or acknowledge the reality unless it's directly affecting them. Kudos to Smosh, and Arohanui (huge love) to Keith for speaking out about and sharing this. Kia kaha, whaanau (stand strong, family).
Some of the greatest news I've got in a while, I could cry. So happy for Keith and the Smosh family, hope to see life get way better from here for all of them.
Keith beating cancer is amazing. I had spinal surgery 6 months ago a lot of the things he was talking about I relate to. So happy he will be healthy now 💙
This is crazy. The first time I heard Keith having cancer was in smofice. It's def the best episode I've seen. I had no idea that he really had cancer. I just became a fan so I've been binging. I'm so glad to hear that Keith is doing better now!
I started watching Smosh again a few years ago during the pandemic and I really relate to Keith. I had a brain tumor my whole life and didnt know until I was 25. Having something like this happen is such a big part of your life, but you cant let it stop you from living it. Good luck Keith 💪
My stepdad is going through chemo right now for stomach and throat cancer watching you guys in this one helped me get out of that kinda sad situation and bring some light thank you and congrats to you Keith ❤🙏💪
I admire Keith so much. The strength to still appear on the channel regularly and keep spreading good energy even in the toughest times... he is so talented and strong
I'm so proud of Keith for being so strong and pushing through this cancer, and as someone who lost someone from cancer is such a big thing for me knowing that more and more people aren't dying from cancer is amazing
Keith is a badddyyy! I got diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer during the pandemic as well. Just turned 27. So many of us delayed care or going to see the doctor because the world was shut down. My cancer spread into my lymph nodes bc I waited too long. Get your skin checked everyone! Please! 💕 thank you Keith for sharing your story.
Keith July 13th is my birthday , I’m so glad you’re still here,cancer is so hard I have lost 4 uncles and 1 aunt and a cousin to lung cancer and I have just been through stage three lung cancer and I’m fixing to turn 60 and I never stopped I was always working or playing with my boyfriends grandson that calls me mamaw and I love him so very much,but now I’m on oxygen 24/7 and I have neuropathy in my feet and just a hoard of other problems because of all the chemotherapy and radiation I took. I gained so much weight,there’s like two of me now from having to take steroids for almost 3 years sometimes as much as 60 mg a day . They diagnosed me in the last of 2018 and I still don’t feel worth a darn or have any energy and I can’t work anymore and I can’t stand not being able to work anymore I loved being around people and with friends, but no one wanted anything to do with me after I got cancer and couldn’t do all their work anymore or give them money to help them out or just a bunch of stuff like that, so it’s was hard dealing with cancer by myself and realizing everyone I thought was my friend was using me and I had no friends.. God bless you for making it through, live every minute of your life to the fullest. God bless your mom and family and your work family.I loved watching you, your so funny and I love all the cast members you’re all amazing. I will be praying for you Keith and everyone ❤🙏🤩💕🤗😊 everyone call me Tish and I’m from Knoxville Tennessee ❤
I was worried so much for Keith. It would truly make me sad. I was hopeful that the support was great n that he would get the right treatment. Thank God it worked!
Istg never laughed so hard w a podcast when his mama asked him to repent i screamed 😂 sounds like something my mama would tell me to make me laugh but his mom was dead serious and Keith, thanks for talking about this whole experience, to know that you're cancer free makes me so happy 🎉
28:20 Keith, I feel you. I did that when I had a severe double kidney infection when I was 17. I was so sick I was there for 10 days. I was so embarrassed but I did not clean it up myself. I don't think I was even capable. I'm surprised you were! Luckily the nurses had to help me to the bathroom anyway and someone cleaned it up while I was in there. They were so nice.
Keith is an absolute beast! He powered through so much just to do content on all the channels and still managed to show up for this after recovering only two weeks from surgery. That is the very definition of badass. Keith, I'm glad to see you back! Hope to see more of you
Not me literally sobbing listening to this podcast and following along Keith's whole journey. So fucking happy for him and praise God you made it through!
I’m so happy for Keith to beat cancer’s butt! I heard him say he’s missing half his stomach, and Amanda asked if this changes what he eats forever now. So I had a bariatric surgery a few years ago, which essentially means I also only had half a stomach. Lighter foods for now makes sense, especially with a reduction to the colon. The stomach absolutely can expand after surgery, so I believe some day he will be able to eat regularly again, just with some changes on account of his other reduced organs. For now, soft foods are your friend! Eggs are a great source of protein, plus they’re super soft so you’ll be ok with that for now. Be careful drinking anything carbonated! I still have to go very slow with carbonation since I can’t regularly burp ever since surgery. However, carbonation does help the stomach expand (if you want that).
So happy to see you up about and recovering Keith! Your attitude this whole time had been inspiring. Thanks for all the laughs during this very trying time for you!
I love how they can sit and talk about something so disturbing in such a lighthearted way. So comforting in a very sad time for me personally. This show is perfect thanks smosh

Maybe they think that. It really is a matter of luck and where you go. But not all nurses are into dignity and respect I can promise you that much.
As a nurse, cleaning poo is the equivalent of tying shoe strings to me. Truly does not phase us. We don’t care. Lol
Idk about "most", lol
Congrats to Keith, it’s amazing how he was still fully sending it on his channel appearances while battling cancer, thank you for being here Keith!
Agreed!!!

Congratulations Keith! Glad you’re doing better and beat cancer! Keep kicking ass!
Amanda's bit about getting your period had me cracking up. It's so true and every month you think you magically gained 500 pounds overnight.

Ever since learning about what Keith was dealing with i was always very worried about how hes been doing. I'm overjoyed to hear hes beaten this cancer! Love you guys and big congratulations to you Keith!
This episode was so funny oh my god 😭 I was not expecting them to go off the rails in an episode about Keith's cancer journey but it was so good. I look forward to him coming on again eventually now that we know people can cycle on whenever (see Damien being in 2 episodes so far).
Omg! 25 cm, that’s huge. Wishing you a healthy life ahead Keith ❤❤ I absolutely love Keith’s personality.
I’m so happy that Keith was able to be strong enough to get through it all! 🎉 To a long and fruitful life 🥹
I love Keith. He's such a sweet person. So glad he's doing better. God bless him.
I’m so happy Keith beat cancer, ngl, it worried me when they said he had cancer a while back but, it’s such a relief to hear he’s ok 😭🤚🏻
When Shane said “Let him cook!” I laughed so hard!!
Congratulations on beating cancer Keith. Sending lots of love and I hope your journey of healing goes well. ❤
Man, I’ve been waiting to see an update like this for a long time. I’m so happy to hear this. Keep fighting that fight, Keith. We all love you!
I found out today that one of my family friends, the mother of one of my childhood friends (and ones whose dad has known mine for years) has breast cancer. We hadn’t seen them in a while and yesterday they stopped by to say hi because it was her birthday. She mentioned the tests but got her results today. Our families have been close since I was a baby and we always see them at huge gatherings, on holidays or birthdays, and for the occasional dinner at one another’s houses. We haven’t hung out as much since COVID but they still mean a lot to us. Heck, her daughter continues to be a close friend of mine even if we don’t talk very often. I’m praying for their family and just hope they’re able to get through this; and I know they will, no matter the outcome, because they’re strong and have all the support they need. Hearing the news today made me think of Keith and this video. So… thank you, I suppose, for raising awareness. I’m so proud of you Keith, and everyone at Smosh who helped him through his difficult journey. I’m glad you’re here, you always help me laugh during your TNTL bits
LETS GO KEITH! Seeing him on the last stream was really fun. I've been looking forward to this Smosh Mouth episode 🥺🥺
as a rare cancer survivor, i feel keith. it took 18 months of chronic appendicitis pain to get diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in my appendix. it was SO awful but i felt so much better once it was out. i didn't call myself a 'survivor' until 5 years NED but we are nearing 7 years now!
Hopefully good health now for you Keith!
Keith, thanks, man, for being on today. I just recently got out of the hospital myself due to brain surgery and finding out I have a heart defect, and I'm going through the recovery process as we speak, which is rough, ngl. But having someone who recently went through a tough medical situation himself just be so positive and relatable makes me feel heard, understood, and makes me want to keep pushing on because I know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. ❤
Keith's such an awesome dude, i love hearing him talk
I'm so glad to hear Keith has won his hard-fought battle against cancer. I was fairly young when I lost my maternal grandmother to breast cancer. Seeing as how risks for certain cancers can be hereditary, and how men can also get breast cancer, I worry every day not just for myself but for my mother and two siblings. But I'm so glad Keith is doing well after beating cancer. Congratulations, man.
Seeing everyone joke around so worry free-ly is so refreshing, and to see Keith so happy and everyone really is such a nice thing to see. This episode has to be #1, it felt so interactive and I absaloutely loved it
Two weeks post surgery and back at work. That is INSANE. When I had my c section I remember the pain being still pretty intense at two weeks with just like standing up and moving around, and my cut was a lot smaller than the way they describe his and I still had all my organs. Big props to Keith! I hope he went home after this and let his momma take care of him.
Congratulations Keith!! I found out I had cancer in April of 2021 as well and was declared cancer free on 10/17/2022. It was always so encouraging seeing what was going on with keith we during my journey because i love keith so much and i thought it was cool that we were figuring this out at the same time and i wasn’t alone!
Also just want to say thank you Keith for being so open now about talking about this. I know you had been reluctant to say much of anything, but a lot of people care about you and what you have gone through. Telling your story may help others to get checked out more quickly.
If this vid/cast gets demonetised for a pic of a genuine (very clean, very well presented and photographed) surgical specimen, shared with Keith's explicit permission, I'mma rage. I've been a pathology technician for almost 8 years, and what I've learned is that there isn't enough general awareness about these things. People don't want to see it or hear about it or acknowledge the reality unless it's directly affecting them. Kudos to Smosh, and Arohanui (huge love) to Keith for speaking out about and sharing this. Kia kaha, whaanau (stand strong, family).
Some of the greatest news I've got in a while, I could cry. So happy for Keith and the Smosh family, hope to see life get way better from here for all of them.
Its so amazing to see how you all have rallied around keith. He'a really lucky to have such a caring community around him.
Keith is such a wonderful part of the cast I’m so happy he’s on the up and up. ❤
we are so so so glad that Keith is better now, we love everyone in smosh; cast and crew
Keith beating cancer is amazing. I had spinal surgery 6 months ago a lot of the things he was talking about I relate to. So happy he will be healthy now 💙
This is crazy. The first time I heard Keith having cancer was in smofice. It's def the best episode I've seen. I had no idea that he really had cancer. I just became a fan so I've been binging. I'm so glad to hear that Keith is doing better now!
I started watching Smosh again a few years ago during the pandemic and I really relate to Keith. I had a brain tumor my whole life and didnt know until I was 25. Having something like this happen is such a big part of your life, but you cant let it stop you from living it. Good luck Keith 💪
My stepdad is going through chemo right now for stomach and throat cancer watching you guys in this one helped me get out of that kinda sad situation and bring some light thank you and congrats to you Keith ❤🙏💪
I admire Keith so much. The strength to still appear on the channel regularly and keep spreading good energy even in the toughest times... he is so talented and strong
I love how much more happy and bubbly he looks and acts ❤
That story of Amanda crapping herself with a new boyfriend was actually so sweet and wholesome
Huuuge green flag!
I love how open they all are sharing this.
I'm so proud of Keith for being so strong and pushing through this cancer, and as someone who lost someone from cancer is such a big thing for me knowing that more and more people aren't dying from cancer is amazing
Keith you’re a legend !!!! The amount of pummelling your bodies gone through and the amount of positivity you have is awesome .
keith is so inspirational!! i’m so happy you’re ok and healing
My father lost his battle to cancer 16 years ago and I'm so happy that Keith fought it and is winning! Keep fighting Keith!
Congratulations Keith! Mad props to you.
i’m so happy for keith rn, i lost my grandma to cancer and it’s so good too see someone i regularly watch overcome :)
I like how Keith reserves his talking space in a subtle way lol
Keith is a badddyyy! I got diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer during the pandemic as well. Just turned 27. So many of us delayed care or going to see the doctor because the world was shut down. My cancer spread into my lymph nodes bc I waited too long. Get your skin checked everyone! Please! 💕 thank you Keith for sharing your story.
Keith July 13th is my birthday , I’m so glad you’re still here,cancer is so hard I have lost 4 uncles and 1 aunt and a cousin to lung cancer and I have just been through stage three lung cancer and I’m fixing to turn 60 and I never stopped I was always working or playing with my boyfriends grandson that calls me mamaw and I love him so very much,but now I’m on oxygen 24/7 and I have neuropathy in my feet and just a hoard of other problems because of all the chemotherapy and radiation I took. I gained so much weight,there’s like two of me now from having to take steroids for almost 3 years sometimes as much as 60 mg a day . They diagnosed me in the last of 2018 and I still don’t feel worth a darn or have any energy and I can’t work anymore and I can’t stand not being able to work anymore I loved being around people and with friends, but no one wanted anything to do with me after I got cancer and couldn’t do all their work anymore or give them money to help them out or just a bunch of stuff like that, so it’s was hard dealing with cancer by myself and realizing everyone I thought was my friend was using me and I had no friends.. God bless you for making it through, live every minute of your life to the fullest. God bless your mom and family and your work family.I loved watching you, your so funny and I love all the cast members you’re all amazing. I will be praying for you Keith and everyone ❤🙏🤩💕🤗😊 everyone call me Tish and I’m from Knoxville Tennessee ❤
I have the same birthday!
I was worried so much for Keith. It would truly make me sad. I was hopeful that the support was great n that he would get the right treatment. Thank God it worked!
Istg never laughed so hard w a podcast when his mama asked him to repent i screamed 😂 sounds like something my mama would tell me to make me laugh but his mom was dead serious
and Keith, thanks for talking about this whole experience, to know that you're cancer free makes me so happy 🎉
28:20 Keith, I feel you. I did that when I had a severe double kidney infection when I was 17. I was so sick I was there for 10 days. I was so embarrassed but I did not clean it up myself. I don't think I was even capable. I'm surprised you were! Luckily the nurses had to help me to the bathroom anyway and someone cleaned it up while I was in there. They were so nice.
Oh Keith 🥺my eyes were tearing up the whole time listening to you. Congratualtions you wonderful human!!
Forensic Files is one of my comfort shows. The narrator has such a soothing, almost monotone, voice. I love it so much lol
Amazing to hear Keith is doing better. I'm sure the journey was an experience for him. Best wishes to the man for a healthier life.
Keith is an absolute beast! He powered through so much just to do content on all the channels and still managed to show up for this after recovering only two weeks from surgery. That is the very definition of badass. Keith, I'm glad to see you back! Hope to see more of you
I HAVENT SEEN THE EPISODE BUT ALREADY HERE TO SAY CONGRATS KEITH!!!!!
Not me literally sobbing listening to this podcast and following along Keith's whole journey. So fucking happy for him and praise God you made it through!
I’m so happy for Keith to beat cancer’s butt! I heard him say he’s missing half his stomach, and Amanda asked if this changes what he eats forever now.
So I had a bariatric surgery a few years ago, which essentially means I also only had half a stomach. Lighter foods for now makes sense, especially with a reduction to the colon. The stomach absolutely can expand after surgery, so I believe some day he will be able to eat regularly again, just with some changes on account of his other reduced organs. For now, soft foods are your friend! Eggs are a great source of protein, plus they’re super soft so you’ll be ok with that for now.
Be careful drinking anything carbonated! I still have to go very slow with carbonation since I can’t regularly burp ever since surgery. However, carbonation does help the stomach expand (if you want that).
I had the sleeve done 5 years ago and I still have problems with carbonation. I still can't eat more than 4 bites of anything. Hope you're well!
I love Keith he’s so silly with his little giggles and he seems like such a sweetie 🥹🥹🥹
I’ve always loved Keith’s bursts of laughter
Congratulations Keith I’m so happy I got to be here with you thought your experience,you have always changed my way of seeing life.!!!!
So happy to see you up about and recovering Keith! Your attitude this whole time had been inspiring. Thanks for all the laughs during this very trying time for you!
I'm so happy to hear that Keith won his battle with cancer.
Huge congrats to Keith! Loved this dude's energy since the smosh squad days so glad he's good and happy!
i’m so happy keith is good. he brings such an amazing energy to everything and i want the best for him.
It is so incredible and to know Keith is cancer free❤️
I love how they can sit and talk about something so disturbing in such a lighthearted way. So comforting in a very sad time for me personally. This show is perfect thanks smosh
