The top 10 neighbors span journalists, politicians, professionals, academics, and an actor — with no other TV Personalities among them, making this a cross-kind cluster by composition. Scores run from April Ryan at 0.97 down to Suze Orman at 0.95, a spread of just 0.02 across ten positions — the defining feature of a flat shape.
Journalists account for three of the ten slots: April Ryan (0.97), Jason Johnson (0.97), and Joy Reid (0.96). Politicians fill three more: Donna Brazile (0.97), Bakari Sellers (0.97), and Maxine Waters (0.96). The remaining four positions go to Ben Crump (Professionals, 0.96), Wendell Pierce (Actors, 0.96), Melissa Harris-Perry (Academics, 0.95), and Suze Orman (Professionals, 0.95). None of these neighbors share Don Lemon's own subcategory of TV Personalities, which means the audience shape here is defined entirely by adjacent kinds — commentary, politics, and public-intellectual figures — rather than by fellow TV hosts.
The flat, cross-kind structure suggests an audience that moves fluidly across media-adjacent public figures rather than clustering tightly around any single type.
