Scott The Woz]] (real name: Scott Wozniak) is a Website/{{YouTube}} personality who primarily makes content focused on video games who currently has over 390 thousand subscribers. He is mostly known for the fast pacing of his videos and overall humorous tone of his videos.

While he started out his video making in 2011 for school projects, he started making youtube content around the same time, making top tens and comedy skits under the name "Woznaki News TV", most of which have been removed from the main channel and reuploaded to a secondary channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmm3qhYkdW699stV_28TQpw/featured Scott's Stash]]. He started using the "Scott the Woz" at the start of 2017.

His topic varies from comedy skits, straight game reviews, and retrospectives on video game-related topics usually untalked about in the industry. This is all coated within a very [[SurrealHumor off-beat sense of humor]], which gets even wackier in his later videos.
