Commentary | Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous | Episode 6 (Patreon)

Before there was Inside... before there was Eighth Grade... there was...

Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous.

Easily Bo Burnham's most underrated work, this one-season series tells the story of Zach Stone, a pre-celebrity who uses his college savings to instead make a documentary about his rise to fame. It aired on MTV in 2013 and was quickly canceled, but not before becoming perhaps my favorite thing Bo has ever made.

It's possible you only just heard about this show over the last few weeks because it's been making the rounds on social media in the wake of Bo's latest special's massive success. It's more likely you still haven't heard about it. It is criminally under watched and it feels like it may have a second life now that folks are finding out about it, so consider this our attempt to give it an extra push toward the notoriety it deserves.

I am joined by one of the other biggest Bo fans I know, Mr. Miles Bon!

Sincerely hope you love this series as much as we do!!! ❤️
