Michael Ian Black Audience Graph • Social Signal

The top 10 neighbors for Michael Ian Black are almost entirely fellow comedians — seven of the ten share his subcategory — with scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.98 down to 0.97, the hallmark of a flat shape with no single dominant pull.

Marc Maron leads at 0.98, followed closely by Rob Corddry (0.98) and John Hodgman (0.98). Billy Eichner (0.97), Rob Delaney (0.97), and Andy Richter (0.97) continue the run. The two exceptions within the top 10 are Kristen Schaal (0.97, Actors) and WTF with Marc Maron (0.97, Podcasts and Radio) — the only non-comedian and the only non-celebrity entity in the set. Patton Oswalt (0.97) and Judd Apatow (0.97) round out the ten, both comedians. The podcast entry is notable: it sits at the same similarity level as the human comedians around it, suggesting the audience treats the show as a peer of the performers rather than a separate media category.

The overall picture is a tightly bounded comedian cluster — same subcategory, same score range, minimal cross-category intrusion — indicating an audience whose shape is defined almost entirely by one corner of the comedy world.
