YouTuber’s ‘Scandal’ Cartoon Recap Catches Shonda Rhimes’ Eye

The fourth episode of the third season of ABC’s political drama “Scandal” aired last night. Just in case you were left feeling down and disoriented by one of the usual cliffhangers, here’s a lighter more fun twist to the show.

A young YouTuber named Kevin Fredericks, whose channel is called KevOnStage, has created cartoon summaries of each episode of Shonda Rhimes’ hit series this season. Judging by the views and comments, Fredericks’ work is stirring up some laughter and some fans of his own with his comedic take on the political drama series.

Not only has the online comedian charmed some of the biggest fan of the series, he also managed to get the attention of Shonda Rhimes, who shared an episode with her Twitter followers earlier today. Hmm, maybe Kevin could get his big break from this and we’ll be reporting on a Kevin Fredericks’ project in development at ABC in the future.

The first three episodes are embedded above and below this post, so check them out to see if you find them funny.

 

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
