That Guy with the Glasses is a website that primarily showcases satirical reviews of movies, comics and video games. It primarily stars Chicago native Douglas Darien "Doug" Walker as "That Guy with the Glasses". The founder and administrator of the site is Michael Michaud, CEO of the parent company Channel Awesome. The site was launched in April 2008 after the original videos were removed from YouTube following complaints of copyright infringement. The website is home to several episodic series, starring Douglas Walker and others. The main Walker series are 5 Second Movies , The Nostalgia... Critic , Ask That Guy with the Glasses and Bum Reviews . Other videos and written articles are hosted on the site, including some minor series and sketches starring Walker. Videos are now hosted by blip.tv after problems with earlier provider Revver. Doug Walker's first appearance on the web was on the video website YouTube, in which he created satirical video reviews of films and other media entertainment of the past and present.
