Wozniak covers video game topics such as consoles, accessories, gaming history and subculture. Episodes are written and directed by Wozniak, with recurring characters played by his friends.
The first episode of Scott the Woz was released on YouTube in January 2017. Production is done under his own later-formed production company, Blue Border Entertainment. Scott the Woz is known for its philanthropic efforts, by selling limited edition merchandise, inducing an officially licensed version of the Monopoly board game, with fundraisers collectively raising over $1 million for charity. From 2021 to 2022, compilations of episodes were syndicated on the revival of the TV network G4.
Scott the Woz has received positive reception from video game journalists and writers, with critics praising the surrealist humor and writing. As of July 2026, the channel has over 2 million subscribers, with the series amassing a cult following. Wozniak also hosts a secondary channel, Scott's Stash, for unscripted content.
Scott the Woz is a video game review web series, with a focus on discussion and retrospective of video games topics such as consoles, accessories, merchandise, history and subculture.
Most episodes adhere to a structure where Wozniak explains or analyzes a video-game related topic, interspersed with cutaway skits and some recurring jokes. Some episodes deviate from this structure, and feature the video-game topic as interludes between scenes, or are simply just an extended skit with video-game references and themes. The show has recurring characters played by Wozniak's friends. Video game memorabilia are shown on his carpet.
These reviews show his opinion for entertainment, but are often researched to present information about these products and companies, while giving critique of faulty or misleading products. He draws from a large collection of game merchandise. The topic of his videos can vary from specific franchises and games like Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog to broader game genres and categories, like "3D Gaming" and "Console Pack-In Games".

Scott Daniel Wozniak (born June 2, 1997) was raised in Whitehouse, Ohio. As a child, Wozniak uploaded videos to YouTube under the brand WozniakNews. They were based on his own creations, such as short stories, comics, and drawings. He ceased WozniakNews in 2012 due to low viewership. Wozniak returned to content creation when he was still attending Anthony Wayne High School, in his senior year of high school with The Internet and You, a 30-minute comedy YouTube video released in 2016, that features many of the same actors from Scott the Woz.
He intended for The Internet and You to be his final video, as he was unsure if he would continue to make videos. Wozniak eventually changed his mind, leading to the production of Scott the Woz. In 2017, he started uploading to the Scott the Woz YouTube channel, and by 2018 the channel hit 100,000 subscribers.
In 2020, he formed the company Blue Border Entertainment to help produce the show. One aspect of his video production, is that Wozniak often displays video game titles and consoles on his carpet. In a 2022 tweet, Wozniak showed that to get the carpet shots, he would set up a table with a loose piece of carpet placed on top, with a camera mount over the top of it.
Wozniak published the first episode of Scott the Woz on YouTube in January 7, 2017, focused on his opinions of the Nintendo Switch, before the consoles January 12 presentation. The series maintained a consistent schedule of weekly videos, until May 2022, when Wozniak announced that the series would run without schedule. In November 2024, Wozniak signed with the Creative Artists Agency.
Scott The Woz was broadcast on the 2021 revival of TV network G4. Ten episodes, consisting of one-hour compilations of YouTube episodes, premiered from December 7, 2021, to February 8, 2022. The series was also featured on Pluto TV's G4 Select since March 2022.
