Bo Burnham was one of the earliest YouTube stars, starting his channel in 2006 and growing to nearly 4M subscribers. Today, he's a comedian, musician, actor, and filmmaker. He joins Google to talk about his career trajectory from YouTuber to multi-hyphenate creator, including his first feature film, “Eighth Grade.”
