Long-time comedic entertainer and content creator, Juhahn Jones, recently announced his latest venture, JUDA Network. Here’s the full story.
Over the years, Maryland-born, Los Angeles-based actor, comedian, and content creator, Juhahn Jones has carved out a niche as a comedic entertainer, with a loyal fanbase of over 1.4 million and 1.6 million followers on Instagram and Facebook respectively, and almost 400,000 YouTube subscribers to prove it.
Although he has almost 70 credits to his name going back to 2005, including everything from TV series to Christmas movies, it’s through his own original content, posted to his YouTube channel, that he’s gaining steam. Perhaps his two most popular series are Killer Bae, a scripted comedy/horror series that sees Jones pursue of a relationship with the sexy Afro-Latina, played by Isadora Ortega, who eventually reveals her dark side after his infidelities, and You Hittin Dat?, about the tension between Jones, his beautiful roommate Ariel, played by Audra Kinkead, and her cousin (and his fiancee), Mona, played by Apryl Jones. Now in its third season, the series’ success has led to a guest appearance by LisaRaye, and ultimately a spin-off feature film titled You Married Dat?
His content has shown evolution and growth over the years, from his days as a Vine creator and host of the JJIsShow, which earned him more than 40,000 followers and 5 million loops, to web series, and now to high-quality, broadcast worthy TV shows and films.
Now Jones is in the middle of perhaps his most challenging pivot yet—network owner. He recently took to his YouTube channel to announce his latest venture, JUDA Network, to his long-time fans and supporters.
“It’s a new network. It’s gonna house the You Hittin Dat brand and all my content. I’ve invested thousands of dollars so you guys can get my content exclusively there without any issues with the algorithm”, Jones explained. “JUDA Network has everything. You’ll get instant notification, You’ll get everything that you need from me. It’s the club. It’s the tribe.”
Subscribers will get early access to full episodes instead of the algorithm friendly parts that are available on YouTube.
While JUDA Network is currently on free trial, Jones is asking those who have been enjoying his content over the years to support him with a subscription.
“I implore you and ask of you to support me in my journey; to subscribe to the JUDA Network.”
