This may only apply to certain segments of some shows, especially YouTube. For example, I’ll watch PewDiePie’s food and some meme reviews, his newer vlogs from Japan, or when he’s with other YouTubers like CinnamonToastKen or JackSepticEye. Other than that, I haven’t watched much of his content because it wasn’t for me. Another great example… Everyone should watch James Cordon’s Carpool Karaoke! Other than that, a few other skits and a few interviews, I don’t watch his show and I’ve never seen a full episode. So, if you agree with my other recommendations but then can’t figure out why I’d recommend someone on this list, you might want to sample their work to see if you actually do like some of their videos. Enjoy!

Bizarre television comedy with Robin Williams as Mork from Ork, who is an alien sent to Earth in an egg, to investigate Earth and report back to his superiors.
