Company Background
Kornhaber Brown was founded in 2009 by Eric Brown and Andrew Kornhaber, but their breakthrough came in 2013 with the release of Porn Sex vs Real Sex: The Differences Explained With Food, which quickly became a part of the conversation around contemporary sexuality. The viral video currently has over 16 million views.
Their next breakthrough came with PBS Idea Channel, a show that analyzes pop culture through the lens of philosophy and critical theory. After the success of their documentary series PBS Off Book, the show that launched PBS Digital Studios, Kornhaber Brown was invited to create a new show for PBS. Andrew, Eric, and host/writer Mike Rugnetta, having worked together on the Know Your Meme web series, created Idea Channel. Idea Channel was very well-received with audiences, growing to 700,000 subscribers, and led to additional show commissions from PBS: Game/Show and Space Time. Game/Show analyzed video games through the lens of social justice, art, and theory. Space Time explores astrophysics and quantum theory, and currently has more than 600,000 subscribers.
Upon the success of its work for PBS, Kornhaber Brown was engaged by MTV to create several new shows, including Braless with Laci Green, Decoded with Franchesca Ramsey, The Racket with Jamil Smith, and Pants Off, also with host Laci Green. Decoded and Braless have become well known for their significant contributions to conversations about race and feminism, respectively. Both shows have also used sketch comedy to great effect in communicating their message.
