Toronto-based actor, comedian and writer Julie Nolke, 30, pondered the question in \u201cExplaining the pandemic to my past self,\u201d a video she posted on her YouTube channel in April, during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown in the country. The sketch went, for lack of a better word, viral (it\u2019s now at 15 million views), emulating the \u201cso unbelievably awful, it\u2019s almost funny\u201d mood the entire world was in at the time. Since then, the Calgary native\u2019s undiscovered channel exploded, gaining hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Nolke talks to <i>Maclean\u2019s<\/i> about why her viral moment resonated with so many, and what it\u2019s like to get your big break at a moment when the world has ground to a halt. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Whats_the_COVID-19_lockdown_been_like_for_you\"><\/span>Q: What\u2019s the COVID-19 lockdown been like for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard because I see my peers not being able to act and work at all because they\u2019re in theatre or reliant on that traditional industry of auditioning in person and being on set with big crews. The minute there was a lockdown, I was so thankful that I had started this YouTube world. I was still able to make videos from home. If anything, I had more interesting things to talk about.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Whats_the_inspiration_for_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>Q: What\u2019s the inspiration for your YouTube channel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I want to debunk this idea that women aren\u2019t funny. I think you can not only be a funny woman, but you can talk about things from a woman\u2019s perspective and have it be funny. That\u2019s the main mantra of the channel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_We_have_to_talk_about_%E2%80%9CExplaining_the_pandemic_to_my_past_self%E2%80%9D_You_really_tapped_into_the_global_psyche_at_that_point\"><\/span>Q: We have to talk about \u201cExplaining the pandemic to my past self.\u201d You really tapped into the global psyche at that point.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate you saying that because I can\u2019t think of a time in my life when the entire world has been on the same page. I just kept thinking about how if I could go back and tell January Julie all of this crazy stuff that\u2019s going to happen, she wouldn\u2019t believe me. Me and my husband, we had been making jokes about how I\u2019d tell myself to go on a Costco run. That\u2019s where the inspiration came from. We had been making that joke for weeks and [honestly], I was kind of done with those jokes.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t going to post [the video]. And then I sent it to one of my good friends who\u2019s another actor-writer in the city. She thought it was funny and people would like it, so I posted it. I was really self-conscious because I had just posted such a garbage video. I thought, I\u2019m going to go work out and not check my phone. And then, sure enough, I come back and the messages were blowing up. People always ask, \u201cIs it your favourite video?\u201d And it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ms7capx4Cb8?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_did_the_response_play_out_for_you\"><\/span>Q: How did the response play out for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> It was so surreal. I would go to sleep and I would wake up to another 100,000 views. What was really cool is that this YouTube channel that I\u2019d made, virtually nobody watched it. I maybe got 4,000 views a video, which is still quite an accomplishment that I was very proud of. But it\u2019s nowhere near the views that I\u2019m seeing now. We had the one video that went viral, but then we had this library of content behind it. It wasn\u2019t a matter of going viral and then disappearing. We went viral, then people found our channel and actually subscribed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Why_do_you_think_the_video_was_so_successful\"><\/span>Q: Why do you think the video was so successful?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> On one hand I think it was, on a global scale, everybody\u2019s mind was in the same place. Everybody was at home, everybody was a little scared. So it was just the slightest bit of reprieve that was also incredibly relatable.<\/p>\n<p>I also would argue\u2014and of course this is entirely my own speculation\u2014when this lockdown happened, a lot of the other comedy channels that do well on YouTube weren\u2019t able to shoot in their normal way. So if you look at the late-night talk shows like the Jimmy Fallons and Jimmy Kimmels and the <i>SNL<\/i>s, they weren\u2019t shooting stuff anymore, or the stuff they were shooting was YouTube style. They were out of their element.<\/p>\n<p>There was this need for comedy content that works on YouTube.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_I_was_thinking_about_how_the_mainstream_entertainment_industry_couldnt_pivot_fast_enough_when_you_jumped_in\"><\/span>Q: I was thinking about how the mainstream entertainment industry couldn\u2019t pivot fast enough when you jumped in.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> It was funny to watch the <i>SNL<\/i> cast try to film videos in their homes. I\u2019m like, man, yeah. Now, you know our struggle; it\u2019s not easy. It\u2019s taken years of making it efficient. I\u2019m an actor, but I\u2019m also a writer, an editor, and I also know how the YouTube algorithm works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Did_that_video_change_the_trajectory_of_the_next_few_months_for_you\"><\/span>Q: Did that video change the trajectory of the next few months for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> I would say yeah. I\u2019m part of this saturated market of actors in Toronto and we\u2019re a very tight-knit community. It\u2019s interesting because the minute I went viral, I became part of a different tier of actors in Toronto. I immediately had validation, which I thought was really fascinating and a little bit disappointing because my acting and writing skills have not changed whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>Having YouTube numbers, networks really like that. The coolest change is that the parts that I audition for are bigger and I was able to write in a writing room during this time, which I don\u2019t think I would have been considered to do before.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_I_loved_the_line_in_the_%E2%80%9CExplaining_the_pandemic%E2%80%9D_video_%E2%80%9Cthe_walks_are_going_to_be_clutch%E2%80%9D_Did_you_get_recognized_on_your_pandemic_walks_after_this\"><\/span>Q: I loved the line in the \u201cExplaining the pandemic\u201d video, \u201cthe walks are going to be clutch.\u201d Did you get recognized on your pandemic walks after this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> You know what, I wish.

Obviously there\u2019s a bitter aspect of great suffering and I don\u2019t want to ignore any of that. But it\u2019s also been really wonderful for me [personally]. It feels like I\u2019m getting my big break when the world is shut down. I spoke on a Banff World Media Festival panel, which is such a big industry event. I begged last year to get a ticket, but I couldn\u2019t afford one.

A couple weeks went by after part two and I thought maybe we can make a part three and have it all be good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>. But it doesn\u2019t really look like things are headed in that direction. I think the ridiculousness of this year has not seen the end. So I can see a part three happening.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p><em>This article appears in print in the October 2020 issue of<\/em> Maclean\u2019s <em>magazine with the headline, \u201cTalking to herself.\u201d Subscribe to the monthly print magazine here.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/culture\/julie-nolke-explained-pandemic-past-self\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#This Canadian explained the pandemic to her past self.
