Career

In May 2017, Deleonardis started posting challenge videos on Instagram, using the handle "SteveWillDoIt".[3] The name referred to his assertion that he would perform any challenge his viewers ask of him.[4] He moved his platform to YouTube in May 2019, using the same name. Deleonardis's challenge videos primarily consist of him consuming very large amounts of food, alcohol, or cannabis.[5]

In May 2019, Deleonardis joined Nelk entertainment.[3] In February 2020, he moved into a residence in Los Angeles, California together with the rest of Nelk.[6]

In September 2019, Deleonardis starred as the main feature on a game show on Comedy Central's Tosh.0.[7] The show was hosted by television host Daniel Tosh.[8]

Criticism

In October 2019, singer Demi Lovato criticized Deleonardis for his many challenges involving alcohol consumption, claiming that such large-scale consumption of alcohol is dangerous regardless of whether or not it is intended for entertainment purposes.[9]
