The Future of Digital TV Is ‘Traditional Talent,' Says Adam Faze, Gymnasium Co-Founder.
Adam Faze, Co-Founder of Gymnasium, details his company's strategy of operating as a 'digital television studio' that produces high-quality, short-form, unscripted series for social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Faze identified a market opportunity to elevate the user-generated content standard on these platforms by applying traditional television formats and production values. He illustrates this success with the viral origin story of their show Keep the Meter Running, which became an overnight, hyper-local hit in New York City from an account with zero followers, proving that the 'water cooler' conversation of television has migrated to digital spaces. Faze explains that Gymnasium's talent strategy bypasses established influencers, instead focusing on discovering 'traditional talent' from comedy clubs and other real-world settings who would have been the faces of networks like MTV two decades ago. Looking forward, he offers a counterintuitive take on artificial intelligence in entertainment. He contends that while Hollywood studios debate AI's use, a younger generation of creators is already integrating it into their workflows. The true disruption, Faze argues, is not that studios will use AI to replace filmmakers, but that AI will empower individual filmmakers to create blockbuster-level content independently, thereby bypassing the studio system entirely.

Amelia Dimoldenberg's new boyfriend revealed as Olivia Rodrigo's ex Adam Faze
Amelia Dimoldenberg, the popular host of Chicken Shop Date, has a new romance in the spotlight. The 31-year-old presenter is reportedly dating film producer Adam Faze, who previously had a high-profile relationship with Grammy-winning singer Olivia Rodrigo. Dimoldenberg and Faze, 27, were seen together for the first time this week at various London events, including the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party. The pair are believed to have met through mutual friends and colleagues. Faze is the founder of Gymnasium, a content studio producing viral short-form shows for TikTok and Instagram, such as the hit series Boy Room. He previously worked as a Hollywood producer and was a Forbes contributor in 2017, describing himself as a "storyteller and creative entrepreneur." He also co-founded the production company Must B Nice before launching FazeWorld in 2023. Faze made headlines in 2021 when he dated Olivia Rodrigo, with the couple spotted kissing in public. However, their relationship ended in February 2022. Dimoldenberg, known for her signature awkward-yet-charming interview style, has long been linked to major celebrities, including actor Andrew Garfield and rapper Aitch. However, these rumored relationships were never officially confirmed. Her YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, which boasts 2.8 million subscribers, has featured interviews with stars like Ryan Reynolds, Billie Eilish, Paul Mescal, and Louis Theroux. The show, which started in 2014, has gained a cult following and multiple award nominations. Dimoldenberg has not yet commented on her relationship with Faze.

Amelia Dimoldenberg appears to be dating Olivia Rodrigo's film producer ex-boyfriend
Amelia Dimoldenberg may have just hosted her last Chicken Shop Date as a single woman! That's right, 'the chicken girl' is finally spoken for. The 31-year-old has been making a show of her singledom for years as part of her beloved interview format, but that could all be changing. Because Dimoldenberg is now in a relationship and, heartbreakingly, it's not with Andrew Garfield. Nor is it with a famous rapper, as appeared to be Dimoldenberg's previous 'type.' The Daily Mail has revealed that Dimoldenberg is currently dating American film producer Adam Faze. The pair were spotted at the Vanity Fair EE BAFTA 2025 Rising Star party this Wednesday and are thought to have met through mutual friends. While Faze may not be hugely well known, he has been previously linked with Grammy award-winning singer Olivia Rodrigo, whom he dated in 2021, when Rodrigo was 20 and he was reportedly 26. But Faze and Dimoldenberg may have some serious compatibility, given that Faze has created a viral internet show of his own. Faze is the producer of 'Boy Room', the social media series that sees a female presenter rearrange the unoptimised living spaces of adult men. Kind of like Bobby from Queer Eye if he came in Instagram Reels form. 'Before I became a full-time creator, I was working in Hollywood as a producer attempting to sell TV shows and movies in an industry that was shrinking,' Faze previously said of his career path. '[Now, I'm] making shows the average young person has actually seen.' Meanwhile Dimoldenberg is the creator of the wildly successful Chicken Shop Date YouTube series, where she interviews celebrities in various London chicken shops. The series has catapulted her to global fame and Dimoldenberg now regularly features as a red carpet interviewer for glitzy Hollywood events, including the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Dimoldenberg has been romantically linked to former guests on her Chicken Shop Dates series, including rapper Aitch, but Adam Faze has yet to make an appearance. Perhaps we can expect a Boy Room/Chicken Shop Dates crossover in the near future.
