18-year-old comedian Miles Jai had had it “up to here” with people asking him to “like my status” on Facebook, so he made a video to poke fun at the phenomenon.
Miles’ energetic rant about his frustrations with social media touched everyone, and made him a viral video sensation with “Like Mah Satus.”
Today we’re talking to Miles Jai, about the awkward relationship we all have with our social media, and why some people come across as needy and desperate.
Listen as Miles talks about growing up gay as a military brat, handling his new celebrity and getting suspended from school for giving a guy in his drama club a Valentines Day Card.

great to have Miles Jai on the show!!
the Like My Status video spread like wildfire on tumblr shortly after it came out, well, thru GIFs, and then I watched the video which is hilarious of course.
weather or not this video gives him Youtube fame and allows him to profit from it, I hope he stays happy in whatever he’s doing!
I like how you noticed the viral history of this video. Sometimes we don’t really know where the views come from.
I like Miles, I hope so too Chicken Gurl.
