In early 2009, popular online comedian-reviewer Doug Walker (famous for his The Nostalgia Critic show/character), was interviewed in a video by fellow comedian-reviewer Benjamin Daniel, aka Benzaie: Benzaie Interviews Doug.

Video

The interview video was hosted on website ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (aka TGWTG), which aired many of other comedy-review shows (the website's name referred to Doug Walker himself, as he was the main star).

In the video, Benzaie would ask about how Doug became the Nostalgia Critic. Music such as an orchestra version of Ace Attorney's Turnaround Sisters would play in the background. Benzaie's teddy bear mascot Beary was sitting behind him.

Fall of TGWTG

Back then, the comedy-review videos available on TGWTG were hosted on Blip.tv, a video-sharing platform that was less strict on copyrighted content than YouTube, enabled longer videos and still allowed monetization.

However, as of 2015, Blip got bought by Disney-owned Maker Studios, and the old video-sharing platform was shut down. With this, many TGWTG videos were lost; many resurfaced on YouTube (although sometimes edited to prevent content ID detection) and other video-sharing platforms, but some were forgotten.

The website ThatGuyWithTheGlasses was renamed Channel Awesome in 2015, making a lot of old links obsolete and unoperative.

Aftermath

The 2009 Doug Walker interview by Benzaie has not yet resurfaced. Benzaie still has on his channel a sample of the video interview linking to the TGWTG website, but he has not reuploaded the interview anywhere (if he still has it) or said anything about it.

It is possible a fan has downloaded the video before TGWTG went down, but only time will tell.
