Dr Disrespect
Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV (born March 10, 1982), better known as Dr Disrespect or The Doc, is an American live streamer. He became known for playing battle royale games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, H1Z1, and PUBG: Battlegrounds on Twitch and YouTube. While streaming, he takes a bombastic persona. He has invested in game studios, including founding the Midnight Society.
In June 2020, Beahm was permanently banned from Twitch for then-undisclosed reasons. He returned to streaming on YouTube a month later. In June 2024, former Twitch employees disclosed that his ban was due to inappropriately messaging a minor using Twitch's Whisper feature in 2017, although no criminal charges were filed and Beahm has stated that nothing criminal happened. He later apologised to his family, fans, and all involved. YouTube demonetized and suspended his channel from the platform's partner program, and his partnerships were suspended. In November 2024, Beahm signed a deal to stream on Rumble and become an advisor for its gaming category. His YouTube channel was remonetized in January 2025.
Herschel Beahm IV was born on March 10, 1982, in Encinitas, California. He attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, where he played NCAA Division II men's basketball for the Broncos.
Beahm began playing Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 in college and became known in the Halo community while using the gamertag "Diarrhea Panic" for his trash talking via the game's proximity chat.
On January 12, 2010, Beahm published his first YouTube video on the "Dr Disrespect" channel, which is a variation of then-popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 commentary videos. It mixed clips of Beahm trash talking over footage of gameplay with real-life footage of him in costume as Dr Disrespect, his persona of a bombastic and body-armored "champion". He had purchased the character's signature wig, mustache, and glasses from a costume shop. The video's success led to Beahm becoming a partnered creator with Machinima, which was then a prominent gaming network on YouTube.
In February 2011, Beahm announced that he was taking a hiatus to be hired, on March 16, as the community manager of Sledgehammer Games. At Sledgehammer, he expanded his role to include level designing for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in 2014.
He joined Justin.tv (which later became Twitch) while he was working at Sledgehammer, and quit the studio at the end of 2015 to focus on a full-time live streaming career.
Under his Dr Disrespect persona, Beahm gained a significant following for playing battle royale games, starting in 2016 with H1Z1 before switching to PUBG: Battlegrounds and then Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout mode; he had also livestreamed gameplay of Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite Battle Royale, and Fall Guys. His stream of PUBG: Battlegrounds on February 5, 2018, reached a total of 388,000 concurrent viewers, nearing Tyler1's record of 410,000. His high viewership numbers led to sponsorship deals with Gillette, Asus, Roccat, and Game Fuel, among others. On January 10, 2019, Creative Artists Agency signed Beahm as a client. According to a June 2024 Rolling Stone report, he had not been a client since at least months prior.
