Kid History
Kid History is a popular series of videos garnering millions of hits on YouTube. The creators are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church), members of the Roberts Family. The four brothers are Brett, David, John and Randy — along with friend Richard Sharrah and the rest of the Roberts’ family. [1] The brothers act out family stories as told by small children, with hilarious results.
They have produced ten episodes, and several “Kid History Shorts.” They have also produced shorter videos they call “Kid Snippets,” which they release each Tuesday through their YouTube channel.[2]
Singer/songwriter Josh Groban shared one of the “Kid Snippets” (“Drivers Ed”) on his Facebook page and stated, “This is my new favorite online laughy thing.” So the Roberts brothers contacted him to see if he would be interested in collaborating. They filmed two “Kid Snippet” episodes in New York City with Groban. The first was released in December 2013. Creators said Groban was “an absolute pleasure” and hope to work with him further. They also hope other celebrities will want the “same opportunity to show their funny side.”[3]
They call their production company “Bored Shorts,” and have made use of the services of Amber Media, a media production company in Orem.
