Edarem

Who is Edarem?

Edward Muscare, also known by his pseudonyms of Edarem and Uncle Ed, was an American television presenter and internet celebrity. He gained success in the latter field through his eccentric and comedic posts on the website YouTube, uploaded from 2006 through to 2009.

Born into a working-class Sicilian immigrant family in Queens, New York, Muscare moved to Hialeah, Miami, as a teenager, before joining the army. He became a presenter for local programming in Kansas City, but his career ended following a conviction for sexual battery in 1987. In 2006, he began posting videos of himself to Youtube, where he achieved widespread popularity. However, probation requirements relating to his 1987 conviction stipulated that he was forbidden to own a computer, and by doing so, he was put on trial in 2010, and sentenced to five years in prison. A campaign was organized by his friends and supporters claiming that his imprisonment was unjust, but he died prior to being released.
