Oh Fred, he’s like our little brother who went off to boarding school. A TV movie for Nickeldeon—which ended up being the most watched movie on cable TV in 2010—then a yet-to-be-released sequel flick. But the creator of the former #1 Most Subscribed channel had been noticeably absent from YouTube, slipping down to #6 spot and about to be passed up by the surging Freddie Wong.

Ad yes, it’s Monday, so today in our weekly video blog of online video news worth knowing this week, we have the latest on the Fred Figglehorn chat show, a look at Crackle’s latest series Effin with Tonight, Kmart’s renewal of First Day from Alloy, The Haunting of Sunshine Girl

, Scarlett Johansson’s backside bonanza, and the biggest American video star in China—Jessica Beinecke.

Here it, please watch it, like it, share it around:
