Karl was born on July 19, 1998, in New York originally than moving to North Carolina, to an American mother of French-Canadian descent and a Canadian father.[2] He graduated from Fort Dorchester High School in 2016. For 2 years, he attended Portland Community College from 2016 to 2018 and studied multimedia. He started working as a salesman at Starlite Gaming from May to August 2016. From February 2014 to June 2017, Karl remained a review writer and editor for GameTZ.[3]
Karl has an old YouTube channel called Game Patrol, that streams Roblox. He started streaming on Twitch under the username GamerBoyKarl in 2017.
He initially appeared on MrBro's Last To Leave Halloween Candy Wins $10,000 challenge in 2019 and often served as a camera operator at that time.
After Jake The Viking's resignation, Karl was promoted to an on-screen member and has often been appearing as a major member of the MrBeast crew since 2020. Karl was likely promoted due to him and Kris being close friends.
On September 11, 2020, Karl Jacobs founded his own standalone YouTube channel. However, it was only made public when he announced that he has a new YouTube channel on his Twitter page on December 2, 2020. The next day, he uploaded his first video, I Hunted LazarBeam on Dream SMP!.

Appearance[]
Karl is 5'11 (or roughly 180 cm), making him approximately as tall as Kris Tyson. He has thick brown hair (at some point, it was dyed blonde) and gray eyes.
Personality[]
Karl is childish at times and often overreacts when he doesn't get his own way. He seems to be quite average but is actually very competent in Jimmy's challenges. He is known for being very competitive, especially when competing against Kris, as he often rage quits when losing a challenge. He likes to constantly reference memes. Despite that, Karl is really close to Chandler and Kris.
Another notable personality trait of his is him being somewhat less masculine than the rest of the crew (at least before Kris received hormonal replacement therapy), given that he has painted his nails once. For reasons such as these, he has often been accused for making Kris more feminine, which is a phenomenon called the Karl Effect, yet there is no evidence to support this.[4]

- In Push This Red Button For $100,000, at 14:35 and after more than 50 presses, Karl pressed the button and the TV told him to give to his sister, Corry, $100,000, hence making him the winner of this challenge and his sister the winner of the $100,000.
- In I Put 1,000,000 Christmas Lights On A House (World Record), when Karl and Sean's house was judged, MatPat, Quackity, and MrBeast all gave it a 9, while Damaris gave it a 10, leading to the total score being 37/40, a tie with Kris' team. For the tiebreaker, MrBeast picked a fan who was watching the competition to choose whose house was the better decorated one. She chose Karl and Sean's house, hence Karl's team won, and Sean got the $300,000 house. As a consolation prize, Kris received a $30,000 car.
