Question: "Who is Fred Figglehorn?"
A reader writes in: "My kids want to watch someone called Fred Figglehorn all the time. I have NO idea who this is, and would appreciate some information. Thanks!"
Answer: Fred Figglehorn is a fictional six year old boy voiced and acted by a teenager from Nebraska. Fred's YouTube channel is one of the most popular channels of all time on the video search and sharing site; he also has a separate official website where fans can watch Fred episodes, chat, or purchase merchandise.

While Fred Figglehorn is intended for kids, parents should note that the show deals with a few sensitive issues: divorce, drug abuse, and alcoholism. To this end, Fred Figglehorn is probably best for kids ages 13 and up.
