Internet Icon[1] is an online video-making talent competition (described as "American Idol-esque")[2] that premiered on the YOMYOMF[3] YouTube channel on June 12, 2012.
It was hosted by Chester See, and judged by YouTube personality Ryan Higa and television star Christine Lakin.
At the Los Angeles Center Studios, Higa and Lakin then eliminated many of those contestants to get a top ten.
However, unlike the first season, the contestants had to show an original video in front of the judges, who then immediately determined whether they would continue in the competition or would be eliminated.
It was noted, that during this preliminary round of 100 contestants, the judges' comments were mostly positive, with inter-judge occurring infrequently.
Like the first season, there were many guest judges throughout the competition, including Wong Fu Productions, Philip DeFranco, Kassem G, the Fine Brothers, Shane Dawson, Justine Ezarik, Smosh, Jenna Marbles and PewDiePie.
