James May and Jeremy Clarkson sit at the top of Richard Hammond's neighbor set with scores of 0.98 and 0.94 respectively — but the audience shape extends well beyond that trio's obvious shared context. The shape is broad: ten neighbors clear 0.79, and the full top 10 spans five distinct subcategories, with no single kind dominating after the first three positions.
The opening cluster is tight and coherent. James May (0.98), Jeremy Clarkson (0.94), and The Grand Tour (0.93) form a near-perfect block — all TV Personalities or TV Shows sharing the same audience shape. After that, the neighbor set diversifies sharply. Kayce Smith (0.79) is a fellow TV Personality, but Dave Portnoy (0.79, Professionals) and Starting 9 (0.79, Podcasts and Radio) pull in different directions. Karl Ravech (0.78) and Jeff Probst (0.78) are TV Personalities, while Tim Kurkjian (0.78, Journalists) and Paige Spiranac (0.78, Athletes) round out the ten. Tallying the top 10: five TV Personalities, one Journalist, one Athlete, one Professionals, one Podcasts and Radio entry, and one TV Show — a genuinely mixed field. The Barstool Sports orbit (Portnoy, Starting 9) appearing alongside ESPN-adjacent figures (Ravech, Kurkjian) suggests an audience that spans sports-media personalities across very different tones and platforms.
The broad shape here reflects an audience that locks tightly onto one specific cluster at the top, then fans out across American sports-media and general TV personality space rather than staying within any single lane.
