Karel Kovář, known as Kovy, is a Czech youtuber, vlogger, student and, in the past, also a Let's Player. The nickname Kovy is based on his last name.[2] He differs from other Czech youtubers by discussing topical social themes, politics, the backbone of social networks, or non-bank loans, for example. His work is based on infotainment (the interconnection of information and entertainment that is mostly aimed at evoking certain emotions) and, with the help of videos, tries to break down prejudices in society.[3] Kovy means "metals" in English.
Life[4]
He was born and raised in Pardubice, where he also attended elementary school and Grammar School Dašická. In 2016, he graduated with a degree in history and the foundations of social sciences, and later that year, he moved to Prague to study marketing communications and PR at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University.
YouTube
He currently has three channels on YouTube, and regularly uploads videos to two of them.
Gameballcz
Gameballcz is his first channel. This channel was created on 16 June 2012. Initially, he filmed Let's Plays of Minecraft on this channel. Later, Kovy began to switch to another type of video; even though he continued to create Let's Play videos, Gameballcz also began to feature different cuts of the best moments from other youtubers. Then Kovy started creating various parodies, such as skits like Jolanda and Vlastík Plamenek, parodies of cooking programs (most often Láďa Hruška), and so on.
Kovy
On 5 January 2014, he founded a personal account called Kovy on YouTube, with the intention of filming vlogs, themed videos, and sketches, which he also began to publish regularly. He regularly travels to various countries around the world, where he makes travel vlogs. Currently, he publishes so-called "Kovyneděle" ("KovySunday") on the Kovy channel each Sunday.
