Cody Michael Kolodziejzyk (born 22 November 1990; /ˌkɔːləˈdʒɛ.sɪk/ kaw-lə-JEH-sik,[2] Polish: [kɔwɔˈd͡ʑɛjt͡ʂɨk]), better known as Cody Ko, is a Canadian YouTuber, podcaster, comedian, and rapper. His style of content is often crudely comedic and profane.[a] As of April 2023[update], his five YouTube channels have collectively earned over 9.37 million subscribers and 1.86 billion views.
After majoring in computer science at Duke University, Ko worked as a mobile developer and began making Vines, garnering almost 2 million followers on Vine before the social media platform closed in 2017. He shifted to uploading commentary and reaction videos to YouTube, where he and fellow YouTuber Noel Miller became popular with their reaction series That's Cringe and the Tiny Meat Gang Podcast. They also began a comedy hip hop group called Tiny Meat Gang. In 2019, influencer Jake Paul was criticized for accusing Ko of cyberbullying in his commentary videos, inadvertently causing Ko to gain 140,000 subscribers. In 2021, Ko and Miller expanded their podcast into Tiny Meat Gang Studios, a comedy podcast network. Ko stepped down from day-to-day operations in 2024 after YouTuber Tana Mongeau accused him of statutory rape.
