Host

Andrew Thomas Callaghan (born April 23, 1997) is an American journalist and YouTube personality. He is the creator and host of the YouTube series Channel 5 and All Gas No Brakes.

Andrew Thomas Callaghan was born in Philadelphia on April 23, 1997, and grew up in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. He has said that he “hated every class from the first day of kindergarten to [his] last day of college” except for a journalism class he took in his junior year of high school (although he later clarified that he was bored by most of the required, core curriculum, but once allowed to pursue his own interests, he did enjoy things like Astronomy, Creative Writing, and New Orleans Mythology). The teacher of that journalism class convinced him to pursue his passion for journalism. During high school and a gap year before college, he interviewed people associated with the darknet market Silk Road, Occupy Seattle protesters, and juggalos. He later relocated to New Orleans, where he studied journalism on a full scholarship at Loyola University and worked as a doorman on Bourbon Street to support himself. He was a contributing writer for The Maroon, Loyola’s university newspaper.
