Brian Tyler Cohen (born January 12, 1989) is an American progressive[1] YouTuber, podcast host,[2] author,[3] political commentator, actor and MSNBC contributor.[4] His political podcast is called No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen. In his YouTube channel, titled "Brian Tyler Cohen,"[5] he interviews political figures, reports on politics, and live-streams events, including debates and election results.[6] His channel has over 3 million subscribers and 2.3 billion views.[7]

On February 25, 2022, Cohen became the first YouTube creator/podcaster to interview U.S. President Joe Biden.[8]

Education

[edit]

In 2011, Cohen graduated from Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with a BS degree in Business and Economics and a BA degree in English. He addressed the graduating class of 2011 as their class president.[9][10]

Career

[edit]

Cohen acted in a handful of film and television roles from 2012 to 2016.[11] In October 2018, Cohen started posting political content on his YouTube channel which primarily covers national politics. Cohen later started his first podcast, No Lie, during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2020. Cohen has since created multiple different shows on his channel, cohosting Democracy Watch with voting rights lawyer and Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias[12] and The Legal Breakdown with former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.[13]

In addition to hosting his podcasts and creating YouTube videos, Cohen has been a speaker at Netroots Nation,[14] Collision[15] and Web Summit in Lisbon.[6] He had been an occasional contributor to The Huffington Post prior to launching his show.[10] Cohen has worked for the left-wing website Occupy Democrats as a writer,[16] on-camera host[17] and managing editor.[18] On June 22, 2023, MSNBC announced that Cohen would be joining the network as a political contributor.[19] Cohen made his national television debut as an MSNBC contributor on The Reidout on July 20, 2023.[4]

Cohen is critical of mainstream media, believing that most Americans consume new media rather than television news. He has criticized the Democratic Party for what he perceived as an overreliance on mainstream media, arguing that podcasts and YouTube shows reach wider audiences.[20]

Book

[edit]

On August 13, 2024, Cohen's debut book, Shameless: Republicans' Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy,[a] was published by the flagship Harper imprint of HarperCollins.[3] In it, he outlines his evaluation of the current state of the Republican Party, and what the Democrats and everyone who wants to protect democracy should do about it.[21] It was met by favorable reviews.[b][22] Shameless debuted at number one on The New York Times nonfiction best-seller list for the week ending August 17, 2024, and remained on the list for three weeks.[23]
