Douglas Scott Wreden[2] (born January 18th, 1995), known online as DougDoug, is an American YouTuber, Twitch streamer and podcaster. He is known for his gaming videos where he often uses artificial intelligence, game mods and other themes where he lets his viewers play in challenges or other activities on the stream.[3]
In 2023, he won the "League of Their Own" award at the The Streamer Awards, and in 2024, he was nominated for the "Best Software and Game Development" award. In 2025, Wreden began hosting the Lemonade Stand podcast with fellow content creators Brandon Ewing and Aiden McCaig.[4]
Career
Esports
Wreden worked for Electronic Arts as a programmer before leaving to work on the Hearthstone Championship Tour, which was organized by ESL, under the online alias Gloudas. After ESL stopped working on the tour in 2017, he helped design the Hearthstone Trinity Series for ESL.
After the Trinity Series design was finalized, Wreden produced the tournament and described his part as helping "coordinate all the show's elements on a high level". According to Wreden, the tournament's first season was liked, and a second one was released.[5]
Streaming
Wreden became a Twitch streamer and YouTuber under the name DougDoug, his first stream being on March 9, 2019.[6] He gained fame in October 2020 after playing Grand Theft Auto 5 on Twitch, where he allowed his viewers to input commands in the Twitch chat that were put into the game.[7] In January 2022, he got more fame after streaming and completing a Super Mario Odyssey "HUD Challenge" speedrun, where heads-up displays (HUDs) appeared on his screen after every five minutes. Although he completed the challenge, he was unable to do it in less than one hour, 11 minutes, and 21 seconds, his personal non-"HUD Challenge" record.[8][9]
Philanthropy

Wreden has hosted annual charity livestreams to raise money for the Monterey Bay Aquarium since the 20th birthday of a sea otter at the aquarium named Rosa. The amount became more every year, reaching over $14,000 in 2021, $100,000 in 2022, and over $300,000 for Rosa's 24th birthday in 2023.[10][11][12]
Rosa died in June 2024. Wreden held his 2024 charity stream in remembrance of Rosa, which raised over $620,000 for the Monterey Bay Aquarium.[13] As of 2024, Wreden and his followers have raised over $1,000,000 for the Monterey Bay Aquarium.[14] In 2025, Wreden published a joke book titled Doug: A DougDoug Story; the book consists primarily of the word "Doug" repeated throughout, and the money from sales are dedicated to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.[15]
