History WebVideo / SourceFed

The channel started with [=DeFranco=], [[Creator/BaratsAndBereta Joe Bereta]], Lee Newton and Elliott Morgan as the first commentators, and Kevin Brueck hosted "Curb Cash" on Saturdays. A couple weeks in [=DeFranco=] left, since the channel was intended to be separate of him, and let the others run the show. "Curb Cash" was eventually pulled due to low popularity, leaving the three commentators as the only members on the show. Steve Zaragoza, Trisha Hershberger, and Meg Turney would fill in when other members were gone for the main show, but as they were not employees of [=DeFranco=], they were not permanent fixtures on the commentaries. All three joined the show in short succession as official members in Fall 2012, and now all six rotate for presenting news and hosting weekend content. They all appear on the commentaries unless they're gone. They also run as a non-acting ProductionPosse for [=DeFranco=], joining him for [=VidCon=] and the Presidential debates, and he occasionally appears on weekend shows. For a span of time in 2013, Ross Everett joined the ranks of the hosts. In April 2014, Elliott and Meg[[labelnote:*]]Who moved back to her home state of Texas to work with RoosterTeeth and her boyfriend Gavin Free[[/labelnote]] both departed from [=SourceFed=], and three new hosts joined [=SourceFed=] Reina, Will, and Matt. While Ross went back to just writing the stories. Later on it was revealed that Ross also left [=SourceFed=] to pursue his own career. On Comment Commentary 150 Joe Bereta revealed that he will be leaving Sourcefed for a new job; his final day was December 31st 2014, and he was replaced by "Drawing Board" host Sam Bashor. Trisha Hershberger announced her departure in March 2015, to be replaced by Bree Essrig from The Young Turks. Lee's departure around the same time brought in three part-timers (actress Whitney Moore, comedian Mike Falzone, cosplayer/comedian Chloe Dykstra) and permanent cast member Maude Garrett. Elliott returned in September 2015 with once-a-week series "The Study", playing a twisted and rather nasty UpperClassTwit version of himself. Falzone became a permanent host in February 2016. Steven Suptic left in early 2016 when SPF was canceled (amid a frustrating flurry of NDAs that left fans very confused), then returned in September to the main channel. Steve Zaragoza went to part time in June, focusing mainly on Nuclear Family thereafter, while Maude Garrett left in August to be replaced by frequent fill-in host Whitney Moore.

Most of the hosts have their own personal channels as well: [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAdt0pw24jpW4nK9Ajc1nWg People Be Like (William)]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/mlgHwnT The Steven Suptic Experience]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ReinaScully Reina Scully]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/stevezaragoza Steve Zaragoza]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GeekBombshells Geek Bomb (Maude)]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/matthewdlieberman Matt Lieberman]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DublinIncTV Sam Bashor]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BREEessrig Bree Essrig]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/mikefalzone Mike Falzone]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ElliottMorgan Elliott Morgan]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/andreiterbea Andrei Țerbea]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/megturney Meg Turney]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Nerdychick5 Nerdychick5 (Trisha)]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRossEverett Ross Everett]] [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-djDF5-mD-B0wjDSaOCJ0g Joe Bereta]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MsLeenewton Lee Newton]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/haltiamava Ava Gordy]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/HunanPenguin HUNANPENGUIN (Candace Carrizales)]]

[=SourceFed=] is a {{spinoff}}, of sorts, of ''WebVideo/ThePhilipDeFrancoShow'' that [=DeFranco=] launched in 2012 as part of YouTube's content initiative. The channel runs regular shows Monday-Thursday, featuing five stories a day, 4 minute max per video. On Fridays they do "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Comment Commentary]]". Weekends originally featured movie reviews and Movie Club, as well as HilariousOuttakes, behind-the-scenes videos, one on ones, game competitions on the weekends.

* Steven Suptic (primarily SPF with the occasional TableTalk)
* Maude Garrett (SFNerd creative director)

* Whitney Moore ([[Film/{{Birdemic}} actress]] and comedian, mainly on [=SFNerd=])
* Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn of the "Just Between Us" [=YouTube=] channel: Gaby and Lieberman were friends at Emerson College in Boston and they've collaborated on a number of Nuclear Family sketches.
* Yessica Hernandez-Cruz: Sketch comedian and Buzzfeed Motion Pictures alum. Joined Will's People Be Like channel in June 2016.

--> '''Mtt''': #Weinadebunked

* BlondesAreEvil: Played with. Lee sometimes is put into this corner, especially during one of the comment commentaries where they discuss how touchy she is.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Jeremy Azevedo's Milkman Mike (from Nuclear Family) CameBackWrong from Korea and is profoundly suicidal, but can't go through with it.

* GallowsHumor: Bree, in spades; her ThePollyanna-cum-StepfordSmiler portrayal of [[GameOfThrones Sansa Stark]] as a YouTube vlogger (leading to her being verbally abused by Joffrey (Sam), grossed out by The Hound (crew member Owen), and literally vomited on by blackout-drunk Cersei (Chloe)) is made of this from beginning to end. Will and Steven Suptic to a lesser extent, although in Suptic's case it blends over into RefugeInAudacity.

* MsFanservice: Around New Year's 2016, Reina's wardrobe took a turn for the cleavagy. Bree doesn't do it often (she did it more in her time at [=TotallySketch=], but when she does, it's epic. Maude's fondness for Black Milk minidresses probably qualifies as well.
