About Jenna Marbles

Jenna Nicole Mourey, better known as Jenna Marbles, is an American former YouTuber. Over the span of ten years, her YouTube channel has accumulated approximately 1.8 billion video views and, at its peak, over 20 million subscribers. After apologizing for a series of accusations involving content in her older videos, Marbles announced her indefinite hiatus from the platform in 2020. That year, her comedy video "How to Trick People into Thinking You're Good Looking" quickly gained traction on the platform, gaining around 5.3 million views in its first week. Jenna's mother was unemployed when Jenna's first video went viral and was concerned that the content might put off potential employers. Alongside Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox of Smosh, Marbles became the first YouTube personality to have her likeness appear as a wax figure displayed at Madame Tussauds New York, which she unveiled in 2015. She also created items with some of her most popular phrases printed on them, including "What are this?" and "Team legs!" In 2014, Marbles hosted a weekly pop countdown on SiriusXM Hits 1 named YouTube 15.
