Entertainers

Alan Chikin Chow is best known for being YouTube’s highest-ranking Shorts creator, but his career has expanded well beyond the platform into the beauty industry, TV, and Hollywood. Alan’s Universe has become a must-watch, moving from YouTube to major streaming platforms. Chow's even opened his own Los Angeles production studio to make it.

The 54-year-old SNL alum and Parks and Recreation star has a new act: podcast host extraordinaire. Good Hang with Amy Poehler has transformed the comedy darling into a content creator this year, amassing over 1.6 million followers on Instagram and more than 750,000 on TikTok in its first year.

You probably know bbno$'s music, even if you're not entirely sure how to pronounce his name. (It's shorthand for "baby no money.") The beat drop on "Edamame" is instantly recognizable to anyone with an internet connection, and "Lalala" has long since crossed from viral moment to cultural fixture.

Brennan Lee Mulligan is the king of Dungeons & Dragons, but he's also much more: a comedian, author, and modern cultural critic. The 38-year-old comedian has carved a fascinating niche for himself as the world's preeminent Game Master, moderating the tabletop role-playing game for Dropout's popular D&D-focused Dimension 20 series.

Caleb Hearon is the most online comedian who, as he continually reminds listeners to his hit podcast So True, isn't actually online. Most of his online presence (save his Instagram) is run by his team, but that doesn't really matter — he's still everywhere.

Skewering the tired tropes of Hollywood has endeared Delaney Rowe to internet audiences and Madison Avenue. Her 4 million followers on Instagram and TikTok have made her a Fashion Week and red carpet favorite. She's worked with publishers such as Nylon, Marie Claire, and Elle, and drawn major advertisers, including Gucci.

Druski has evolved from an internet comedian into a near-constant online presence with tens of millions of followers across platforms. The 31-year-old entertainer, born Drew Desbordes, built a devoted audience through his offbeat sketches and uncanny character work before becoming one of the internet’s most recognizable — and often intentionally unrecognizable — personalities.

If you have a FYP, Jake Shane has been on it. With more than 4 million followers and a tight-knit circle of famous friends, he’s become a kind of main character on TikTok — the rare creator who feels both algorithmically inevitable and culturally inescapable.

Saturday Night Live and Dropout star Jeremy Culhane has had a colossal few years. The 34-year-old comedian debuted as part of SNL's Season 51 cast in October 2025 after becoming a mainstay on Dropout, especially viral game shows Make Some Noise and Game Changer. No overnight success, Culhane's been working on his comedy career for years, performing with the revered Upright Citizens Brigade.

For over a decade, Joe Santagato and Frank Alvarez have built their careers around one simple fact: They're genuinely funny together. The childhood friends from Queens are the hosts of The Basement Yard, their weekly comedy show. Launched on YouTube in 2015, it's become one of the internet's biggest podcasts.

Self-described “entertainer” Kareem Rahma has worn many hats during his career, but he finally found his calling chatting up cab drivers, celebrities, and regular Joes on the subway.

A Saturday Night Live cast member since 2022, Marcello Hernández has evolved from breakout rookie on the show into something like its leading man. SNL doesn't officially designate anyone for that role, but longtime viewers can feel when a performer becomes the center of gravity. Lately, that gravitational pull has belonged to Hernández.

Mark Fischbach, 36, better known as Markiplier, has been a YouTube mainstay since 2012. With 38.6 million YouTube subscribers as of May 2026, he’s firmly among the platform’s gaming elite and a bona fide entertainment brand.

Virtual performer Mori Calliope has become one of the most recognizable figures in the rapidly expanding world of VTubing. Performing as an animated reaper character with pink hair and a scythe, Calliope is part of Hololive Production, the talent agency widely credited with helping transform virtual streaming into a global entertainment industry.

Sabrina Brier loves her friends, but she may love making fun of them more. Her sharp observations about the absurdities of modern friendship have helped her build a social media following of more than 1 million and inspired some of the internet's most ubiquitous memes.

Like a digital-age Gilda Radner, Vic Michaelis has an eye and ear for the absurd. But Michaelis can also do mainstream comedy with the best of 'em.

Whether you're into reality TV or musical theater, you likely know about Whitney Leavitt. But before the 33-year-old was on our (medium) screens and the stage, Leavitt was a MomTok star, gaining prominence as a Mormon mom posting through lockdown just like many other mothers — and the rest of us, too.

Writer and comedian Ziwe Fumudoh is the host of the satirical interview show Iconic Guest on YouTube. She puts noteworthy guests, including New York Mayor Eric Adams, actor Kevin Hart, disgraced politician George Santos, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, in the hot seat.
