Amid information that the Cancelled podcast was, properly, cancelled, the most recent episode noticed Tana Mongeau and Booke Schofield sit all the way down to grapple with one key query: What will grow to be of the podcast’s YouTube channel?

Featured Video

The podcast, which was first launched in 2021, has had a fairly profitable run. It debuted in each Apple and Spotify’s prime ten, whereas its devoted YouTube channel has amassed over 2 million subscribers. However, on June 11, the pair introduced that they’d not be renewing their contracts to pursue private tasks and take care of their psychological well being.

But whereas Mongeau is solely in her peace period, issues bought a bit of bit tense because the dialog turned to the Cancelled YouTube channel.

The hosts conflict

In the podcast’s newest episode, the hosts mentioned the present’s future.

“It’s like, what do I do with this channel?” Mongeau contemplated. “Because it was my vlog channel before. […] And then, like, all of a sudden, I’m, like, doing something else on this […] it’s just, do I leave Cancelled up, or do we delete all of Cancelled?“

Schofield reacted in shock, noting that she was “counting on at least $1000 here.”

“Oh, my God,” she continued. “Why would we erase it? Do you hate me that much?”

Mongeau insisted that she didn’t, and added, “I’ve said a lot of things on cancel that I would love to just die.”

In response, Schofield stated, “What the hell? Well, I guess I’m just, well, it will live forever on somebody’s account, and they will collect — so WE should collect.”

“Oh my god, somebody, everybody downloads, download these episodes. God, I don’t know. I’m scared of [Mongeau] now,” she continued.

Can you efficiently pivot?

Mongeau later quipped that she felt just like the McBrooms, who famously scrubbed their Ace Family content material amid Austin and Catherine’s messy divorce. “This is like an off-camera conversation,” she admitted.

Still, Schofield didn’t let up, saying that Mongeau couldn’t use the channel for her vlogs since they “built it from the ground up.”

Nonetheless, Mongeau stood agency, saying that she’s “Emma Chamberlain-ing this channel up,”

Like the McBrooms, Chamberlain additionally made a dramatic switch-up on her channel, as she removed the relatable vlogs that made her well-known in favour of extra mainstream trend content material. As a daily at The Met Gala, it’s clear the pivot paid off, however different YouTubers haven’t been as profitable.

An apparent instance is Shane Dawson, who tried to outrun his controversial comedy skits by creating extra long-form documentary content material. Yet, he by no means fairly managed to shake off the previous, so in relation to transferring on from Cancelled, it may not be as straightforward as Mongeau thinks.

In the feedback of the podcast’s YouTube video, dozens of followers referred to as out Mongeau. “Casually telling Brooke that she wants to delete the episodes and use the channel for something else was so mean and inconsiderate,” one commenter wrote.

“Tana saying she wants to keep the channel just for her own vlogs and delete the podcast episodes was NOT CLASSY at all,” one other added. “Brooke helped build this channel as well.”

“Ew,” a 3rd remarked. “Tana saying she wanted to delete the podcast videos left an awful taste in my mouth. That’s so disrespectful and unprofessional towards Brooke.”

Over on TikTok, customers had been extra supportive of Tana. In one viral clip, which has amassed 1.7 million views, Jaime Scott (@jaimescott5577) gave her tackle the drama. “This is the face of someone realising that they screwed up big time because Tana owns that YouTube channel and you do not,” she says, pointing to a freeze body of Schofield’s face.

Unlike most YouTube listeners, Scott stated that she “actually feels sorry for Tana because she’s trying to convince herself that she and Brooke are still friends.” Similarly, Tish (@tishtoking) opined that folks had been “overreacting” to Tana’s feedback.

Cancelled will finish later in 2025.
