Even before the game show with Amazon Prime Video, Jimmy has made several such videos on his YouTube Channel. One of his most famous videos was his adaptation of the popular Netflix Series ‘Squid Game‘. This video garnered over half a billion views on his main channel.
So, the game show deal with Amazon Prime was not a surprise to his fans. “Big news gamers, I’m going to be filming the largest game show in history and releasing it on Prime Video! Over 1,000 contestants, $5,000,000 prize, and many other world records.. I’ll reveal more later this year but let’s just say, it’s gonna be an ins*ne show.” Jimmy announced via his X.
Despite the huge amount of money involved, Jimmy revealed that he had ‘all’ the creative freedom with the show. Also, he expects at least 10 episodes and more than six hours of content that would likely air either in November or December.

Jimmy talked about the amount of effort he’s putting in the ‘Game Show’ and how he wants his show’s success to have a positive effect on creators. “With that much effort I am putting into this, I need everyone to watch it. I am going all out, It could either have a massive positive effect and every streaming platform is going to be throwing deals left and right at creators, or a negative effect and people are going to go.”
He talked about his biggest fear regarding the show being its failure as it would lead to people looking down upon other creators’ ventures. “If Jimmy couldn’t make a hit show, what makes you think you can? And that is one of my biggest fears.” Additionally, he clarified that his Amazon Deal would not affect his YouTube channel in any way and it would always remain as his first priority.
