3	Mondo Media is the leading WesternAnimation channel on the internet, notable for its adult BlackComedy work. It was founded by John Evershed and Deidre O'Malley in 1988 in San Francisco, UsefulNotes/{{California}}, initially producing content for tech companies, and later video games under the name Mechadeus, and digital animation. Mondo Media launched Mondo Mini Shows in 1998, which has produced some of the most successful WebAnimation series, such as ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', ''WebAnimation/DickFigures'', ''WebAnimation/BamanPiderman'', ''Kung Fu Karl'', ''Destructo Box'', and ''Video Game Therapist.'' The company was officially renamed Mondo Media in 2012. In 2015, they made the jump to television through two shows: ''Like, Share, Die'' on [[Creator/{{Univision}} Fusion]] in the United States and ''Night Sweats'' on Creator/AdultSwim Canada. Before that, ''Happy Tree Friends'' had its own television series that premiered in 2006 on Creator/{{G4TV}} and was also shown in international markets.

5	''Night Sweats'' began life as a collaboration between Mondo, Website/YouTube, and Canada's [=BiteTV=] and Creator/{{Teletoon}}. First came ''Bite on Mondo'', a program which pitched new ideas for shows. 30 pilots were uploaded to Mondo's Website/YouTube channel, where it fell to Youtubers to decide which shows would be greenlit. The winning pilots were aired on [=BiteTV=] as a 30-min program in August 2014. Later that year it was announced that Teletoon would air a new show featuring the ''Bite on Mondo'' pilots. After a major revamp of parent company Creator/CorusEntertainment's children's channels, the new show would instead air on Creator/TeletoonAtNight's sibling, Adult Swim Canada, in September 2015.
