“My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms,” MrBeast, who will serve as host and executive producer, said in a statement Monday. “Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”
