Like him or not, he's objectively a comedian, and a very successful one at that.

  • He is currently in the midst of a massive international comedy tour, stopping in 28 cities in the US, and already with 5x sold-out shows in Berlin, 2x sold-out shows in Paris and 2x sold-out shows in London

  • His comedy memoir, Born a Crime, has been a NYT best-seller for 176 weeks (for context, Obama's book maxed out at 23 weeks)

  • He has sold out comedy shows the Madison Square Garden in NYC, O2 Arena in London, Chase Center in California, Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.

  • His comedy audiobook is one of Audible's Top 100 Best-Selling Audiobooks ever, with 206k ratings (for context, Atomic Habits by James Clear is at 115k)

  • He's had three Netflix comedy specials - his most recent (excl. the one released a few months ago) was nominated for a Grammy.

  • He has hosted the Grammy's, the most prestigious music event in the world, for three years in a row
