Also known as: Vito, VitoComedy, Vito Gesualdi

Vito Gesualdi is a comedian, content creator, and podcaster who has built a substantial online following through his YouTube channel (over 240,000 subscribers with 37+ million views) since starting in 2010. He first gained widespread attention for his Star Wars content, particularly his review The Last Jedi: A Complete Cinematic Failure, which became the most-watched Last Jedi review in the world with nine million views. His Rise of Skywalker review garnered close to four million views, establishing him as a leading voice in pop culture criticism. In October 2021, Gesualdi achieved national prominence during the Dave Chappelle Netflix controversy. When Netflix employees staged a walkout protesting Chappelle's special The Closer, Gesualdi and Dick Masterson counter-protested with signs reading We Like Dave and We Like Jokes. During the confrontation, protesters destroyed his sign and assaulted both him and Masterson, with Masterson sustaining a head injury after being shoved into a concrete planter. The Associated Press initially misrepresented the incident, claiming Gesualdi was shouting profanities and that protesters were peaceful, but later issued a correction. The viral incident led to Gesualdi writing an op-ed for Spiked defending free speech and comedy. Gesualdi co-hosts The Biggest Problem in the Universe podcast with Dick Masterson, which launched in 2021 as a revival of an earlier show. The podcast has over 1,100 paid members on Patreon generating over $10,000 monthly. The show uses science and shouting to determine the biggest problems in the universe. However, by
