Kevin 'Nalts' Nalty (born May 12, 1969) is a YouTube comedian and partner based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania better known under his YouTube username Nalts. Nalts began on YouTube as one of the top-20 most-viewed comedy channels, and collaborates with many of today's top YouTube personalities. He has more than 1,000 videos which, as of April 18, 2016, have been viewed more than 297 million times on YouTube alone. He has been ranked as one of YouTube's Most Subscribed users. He is the author of "Beyond Viral: How to Attract Customers, Promote Your Brand, and Make Money with Online Video (Wiley & Sons, 2010).

He is listed in the "Who's Who in the World of Video Marketing."
Nalty was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and first gained notoriety for a video featured on YouTube's front page the first week of January 2007 - "Viral Video Genius - Loses His Cool When Confronted" - where he plays a skivvy-wearing, geeky intellectual passionate about viral video making. His second featured video, "Farting in Public," showed a young teenager named Spencer (Nalty's nephew's friend) using a fart machine in public places, all the while seeming to be completely oblivious to the fact that he had done so. Another of his videos, "Crackberry Blackberry", was selected as an official honoree at the 11th Annual Webby Awards.
Nalty made a video to announce his departure from his role as a Merck Product Director, and appears in many articles about memorable resignations.

The Gootube Conspiracy
On December 4, 2006 Nalty started his "Gootube Conspiracy" video series where Google and YouTube (or Gootube) are trying to disintermediate major TV networks (Fox, ABC, NBC, etc.). Nalty originally made about 32 videos of it on his channel in December, 2006. There were usually 2 video posted a day and about 1 - 2 minutes long. There have been many responses to this series from users such as cfhworld, CIAOfilms, and CQVFilms. Then he and the user Loquesto made a channel separate for the Gootube Conspiracy in January, 2007. They posted fairly often from January, 2007 - August, 2007. In Summer, 2007, Nalts quit the conspiracy and it has remained fairly active ever since, although users like CQVFilms are trying to resurrect it.
