Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous is a comedy show from MTV that premiered on May 2, 2013. It follows the life of Zach Stone (played by Bo Burnham), a recent high school graduate who is determined to become famous at any cost. With the help of his friends Greg (Tom Wilson) and Amy (Kari Coleman), Zach documents his every move as he sets out to achieve his goal of becoming an overnight sensation.

The show is primarily a mockumentary, taking a satirical look at the reality TV genre and celebrity culture. It pokes fun at the idea of fame for fame's sake, as Zach makes cringe-worthy attempts to create viral videos and gain attention online. His desperation for fame often leads him to make questionable moral decisions, such as staging a fake dance battle with a local high school team or pretending to be a terminally ill child on social media.

Despite the comedic tone, the show also provides commentary on the darker side of the entertainment industry. Zach's quest for fame takes a toll on his relationships with his family and friends, and he becomes increasingly isolated as he tries to maintain his public image. The show also touches on issues such as the exploitation of reality TV contestants and the pressure to present a perfect image on social media.

Throughout the first season's 12 episodes, Zach's journey to fame is met with both successes and failures. He lands an agent and a gig as a host on a local TV show, but also faces backlash from the public and struggles with his own insecurities. The show's finale leaves Zach in a position where he must decide whether the fame he has achieved is worth the cost to himself and those around him.

Bo Burnham's performance as Zach is a highlight of the show, with his comedic timing and musical talents adding to the humor and absurdity of the series. The supporting cast, including Tom Wilson and Kari Coleman as Zach's loyal friends, also bring depth and heart to the show.

Overall, Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous is a fun and witty show that offers a unique take on the concept of fame in modern society. While the show only lasted for one season, it remains a cult favorite among fans of comedy and satire.

Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (14 episodes). The series first aired on May 2, 2013.
