Logan Paul brought his best blazer, and apparently still contagious case of pink eye, to the most bizarre TV interview we’ve seen in a while.
The YouTube star sat down with Fox Business to discuss his social media empire on Monday, only it went off the rails when the 24-year-old wouldn’t stop bragging about how fast he was and how his career was probably going downhill.
But first, he wanted to make one thing clear: he’s no longer the YouTuber who recorded and laughed at the body of a suicide victim in a video last year.

After host Liz Claman’s introduction described him as a “controversial YouTuber,” Paul shot back:
“I have to stop you right there, you said … you used the word ‘controversial’. Just so you know, I am an ex-controversial YouTuber.”
He’s still very much Logan Paul, though; a cocktail of absolute narcissism and drops of shameful self-awareness.
When Claman asked about his huge social media presence, the influencer mused:
“I’m everywhere, baby, I’m everywhere. And I’m nowhere, I’m like a ghost.”
Paul did make some good points when he was asked about Facebook and YouTube’s war to become the internet’s main video platform. He explained YouTube “does a better job” of monetizing creators’ content than Facebook, adding of YouTube’s policies:
“That is the home, for me as a creator. Where not only can my content be seen, consumed, digested … but also they pay.”
He then started to make a point about how kids consume video content, but realized he was in over his head, saying:
“You’re talking about a lot of stuff I don’t know much about … I’m kinda just out here.”
Then, a shocking revelation was made: Paul admitted his career might have already reached its peak.

Confessing how he had to meet with his financial manager after his expenses exceeded his income “for the first time ever,” Paul revealed:
“I’m definitely going downhill from here.”
When Claman asked if that instability made him “nervous,” the content creator said:
“Yeah, absolutely I’m terrified. I think it’s the beginning of the end.”
That so?
After an awkward pause, Paul blurted out another alarming confession:
“I also have pink eye! It’s not contagious … no it is, there’s a two week incubation period. I’m so sorry.”
Ew!
It’s hard to tell how much trolling he’s doing in this interview, but Paul has done the impossible: make us feel bad for Fox News affiliates.
