Over a year ago, Rumble launched an ambitious entertainment show featuring popular live-streaming stars — Kai Cenat from Twitch and IShowSpeed from YouTube. This project, called the Kai N Speed Show, captivated viewers with 12 episodes in which the American streamers traveled the world, creating exclusive content. Streams Charts reviewed the show and highlighted the most popular episodes.
The most-watched episode of the Kai N Speed Show featured the streamers visiting Disneyland in Japan, garnering around 416,000 hours watched. The episode with the highest number of viewers was the second one, where Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed spent a night in a haunted house. This episode, titled "Exploring The Most Haunted Place In America," attracted over 308,000 Peak Viewers.
It's worth noting that the early episodes of the Kai N Speed Show were the most popular with viewers, while later episodes attracted a significantly smaller audience. For example, the ninth episode, titled "Talent Show - Miami Edition," had the fewest viewers, with only 31,000 average viewers and 33,400 peak viewers.
Overall, the 12 episodes of the Kai N Speed Show generated just over 2 million hours watched. This is comparable to small esports tournaments and events like Nintendo Direct (including co-streaming), Premios ESLAND, and OTK Wild West Ranch.
The overall viewership numbers for the Kai N Speed Show could have been significantly higher if not for a few factors. Firstly, the episodes were released irregularly. At the beginning of the season, the creators aimed to release one episode per month, but this schedule soon fell apart. For example, only two days separated the release of the seventh and eighth episodes, while there was almost a three-month gap between the ninth and tenth episodes.
During its first season, the Kai N Speed channel ranked among the top three on the Rumble platform in terms of peak viewership. The only channels with more viewers were Tatespeech, featuring Andrew Tate's broadcasts, and GOP, which covered political news in the US. In the first half of 2024, the Kainspeed channel dropped to sixth place overall, surpassed by other political bloggers and talk shows.
Kai Cenat ranks among Twitch's top 10 streamers, boasting over 12 million followers. His most-watched stream peaked at over 722,000 viewers. Meanwhile, IShowSpeed stands out as one of America's most popular content creators on YouTube, amassing 26 million subscribers. His highest-viewed stream reached approximately 548,000 viewers at its peak.
