YouTube star Anna Akana is tackling a culturally-relevant blend of topics in her new series. She and her partner Brad Gage are the stars of Search Bar, a sketch comedy series that has arrived on the Fullscreen subscription video on-demand (Svod) service.

In Search Bar, Akana and Gage tackle topics such as white privilege, privacy, and climate change, all of which were hot-button issues in the recent election. A press release describes Search Bar as a “woke” sketch comedy show, making use of the kids’ favorite signifier for political awareness.

Search Bar is not the first program Akana and Gage have devised for Fullscreen. They also teamed up for a video version of their Explain Things To Me podcast. The audio version of that series can be found on iTunes.

To watch Search Bar, you’ll need a subscription to Fullscreen, which launched last April.

The world was rocked slightly off its course yesterday when news spread that Star Wars icon and acting legend Carrie Fisher had suffered a massive heart attack while on a flight from England into Los Angeles.

She was quickly taken from the airplane and rushed to the hospital, where she was announced to be in critical condition.

Earlier today, we reported that Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher suffered a heart attack while aboard an international flight from London to Los Angeles, when other passengers on board sprung into action to administer CPR to the actress.
