Channel 5 News’ Andrew Callaghan has returned to YouTube with his first video in nine months.
YouTube gonzo journalist Andrew Callaghan has shied away from the publication of content since allegations of sexual assault were made against him in January 2023. Immediately following the release of his HBO-produced documentary This Place Rules, multiple women came forward with accusations of misconduct.
Following the allegations, Callaghan admitted to a “negative pattern of behavior” and checked himself into rehabilitation for alcohol abuse. Since that time, Callaghan placed himself on an indefinite hiatus though he was seen recording new content as early as August 2023.
The subreddit also noticed that Nic Mosher and Evan Gilbert-Katz, Channel 5 co-founders alongside Callaghan, unfollowed him on all social media. It is currently unknown who is helping Andrew film and edit new episodes.
Channel 5 is a spinoff of All Gas No Brakes, both of which showed Callaghan doing man-on-the-street interviews in strange situations. Following a series of creative disputes with AGNB, Callaghan, Mosher, and Gilbert-Katz created Channel 5 in 2021. The channel quickly amassed over two million subscribers and landed an HBO documentary following the January 6 protests titled This Place Rules.
A few weeks after the documentary’s release, several people came forward to accuse Callaghan of sexual misconduct.
Callaghan’s most recent upload also featured unseen footage of the January 6 Riots. Most of which originated from a hard drive that Callaghan claimed “the FBI has been looking for, for two and a half years”.
Callaghan finished the video with a plug to his Patreon and a promise to his viewers that more content was inbound. “Every single Sunday at 5:55 PM, Eastern Standard Time, for the next 55 weeks we’re going to be dropping a new video here on YouTube,” he announced.
