Yousef Erakat’s Biography, Age
Yousef Saleh Erakat was born on January 22, 1990, in Fremont, California. His parents are both from Palestine and his middle name ‘Saleh’ is actually his mother’s maiden name. He had his college education at San Jose State University and he majored in theatre arts.
Making home videos had always come naturally to Yousef Erakat even as a young teenager. He eventually launched his YouTube channel ‘FouseyTUBE’ on March 25, 2011, while still an undergraduate at the San Jose University. Most of his earlier uploads were generally centred around his family and his Palestinian roots and this quickly gained him a strong following among middle easterners, even though a number of people found his jokes offensive.
As the years rolled by, Erakat remained consistent with his video uploads and his popularity continued to soar. Beyond his comedy sketches, hilarious spoofs and obnoxious pranks, his video content also addresses weightier societal matters such as mental health, physical fitness and religious stereotypes. As his online presence continued to thrive, Erakat also earned invites to several comedy shows and festivals across the country.
The multitalented social media star equally launched his own app DOSEofFOUSEY in November 2015. Asides his main channel, he has launched several other successful YouTube channels. On September 15, 2018, Erakat announced that he would be dedicating his highly popular main channel ‘FouseyTUBE’ to the sole purpose of promoting other aspiring YouTubers.

His physician father Mohammed Erakat launched a YouTube channel ‘The Kat Doctor’ in July 2017 where he dishes out medical and educational advice based on his wealth of experience as an oral surgeon.
