The King of Random was a renowned YouTube channel created by Grant Thompson, known for its engaging DIY projects and life hacks. Born on November 21, 1980, in Canada, Thompson was a multifaceted individual—a pilot, YouTuber, businessman, and influencer. He began his YouTube journey in 2010 with a channel initially named "01032010814," later rebranding it as "The King of Random" in 2012. The channel quickly gained popularity for its creative and often unconventional projects, such as large experiments involving everyday items. The King of Random amassed a significant following, with over 12 million subscribers. Thompson's adventurous spirit and curiosity were central to the channel's success. He retired from flying to focus on YouTube full-time. After Thompson's death in a paragliding accident in 2019, the channel continued under the management of his friends and family, expanding to include additional channels like "2KOR" and "TKOR Shorts." The channel remains a testament to Thompson's legacy, offering a mix of life hacks, experiments, and weekend projects.
