Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed are heading to Rumble to collaborate on a new show

On April 27, 18-year-old streaming star iShowSpeed (real name Darren Watkins Jr.) released a music video called “Dogs,” which featured a guest appearance from Twitch record-breaker Kai Cenat. As it turns out, that video was a precursor to something much bigger: Cenat and Watkins will come together on Rumble to host a new program called The Kai ‘N Speed Show.

The two streamers will team up to host three shows on Rumble per month. According to the official home of The Kai ‘N Speed Show, the first of those broadcasts is slated for May 26. With two outspoken stars together in one room, there’s no telling what might happen on the show, but its hosts have already developed a strong rapport. A commenter on the “Dogs” music video remarked on how close Cenat and Watkins seem to be.

Watkins teased The Kai ‘N Speed Show by dropping a trailer on his YouTube channel. In the clip, he and Cenat try out several different activities, including cooking, horseback riding, and fencing.

The Kai ‘N Speed Show will draw attention because of its big-name stars, but its distributor is significant, too. Rumble has built a right-leaning

community by claiming to be “immune to cancel culture.”

That’s an important detail for Cenat and Watkins, both of whom have run into issues on larger platforms. Watkins was banned from Twitch after violating its Community Guidelines on several occasions, and he has received strikes on YouTube as well. Cenat’s omnipotent Twitch account is still active, but a temporary ban recently jeopardized his streaming status.

On Rumble, the Kai ‘N Speed hosts will not have to worry about any bans. “Being able to have full creative control was important for us,” Cenat said in a statement. “I’m grateful that we get to do what we always do and combine audiences on a new level with Rumble.”

In his own statement, Watkins promised some “surprises” once The Kai ‘N Speed Show goes live. Longtime viewers of these two lightning rods will know to expect the unexpected. Watkins put it simply: “It’s always a crazy time when me and Kai are together.”
