Ben Schwartz's top 10 neighbors form a dense, undifferentiated cluster — scores run from 0.98 down to 0.96 with no single dominant pull and no sharp drop-off. The composition of that cluster is what tells the story: six of the ten neighbors are comedians, and three are fellow actors, with one website rounding out the set.
The comedians — Chelsea Peretti (0.98), Nick Kroll (0.97), Aziz Ansari (0.97), Paul F. Tompkins (0.97), Pete Holmes (0.97), and Billy Eichner (0.97) — form the core of the neighbor set. The actor neighbors — Adam Scott (0.97), Kristen Schaal (0.97), and Mindy Kaling (0.96) — sit at nearly identical scores, suggesting no meaningful separation between the two subcategories in audience terms. The lone non-celebrity neighbor, The A.V. Club (0.96), is the only Marketing Channel in the top 10, and its presence alongside this particular mix of comedians and actors points toward a media-literate, comedy-adjacent audience rather than a general entertainment one.
The flat shape here reflects an audience that overlaps broadly and evenly across a specific comedy-and-actor ecosystem — one where the distinctions between comedian and actor appear to matter less than the shared sensibility that draws audiences to both.
