Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor A3 Artists Agency signed Smosh, the long-running YouTube comedy brand, for representation across the board.

Padilla and Hecox had not appeared together in videos or in public since Padilla — citing his loss of creative inspiration — left Smosh in 2017 and branched out on his own.
Hecox remained with Smosh and shepherded the business through the collapse of then-parent company Defy Media and Smosh’s subsequent acquisition in 2019 and revitalization under Rhett & Link’s Mythical Entertainment.
