You might not remember why you made a Twitter account to begin with, but the reason you're still scrolling is likely Jaboukie Young-White. Twitter darling, correspondent for the Daily Show and champion of short kings, @Jaboukie has built a career doing what everyone swears they can do but can't: being really fucking funny. His ability to spin pop culture and politics into comedy gold has proven him to be more than the millennial comic he's often assigned to be and has taken the Chicago native from timeline and stand up stage to writer's room, writing for shows like Big Mouth and American Vandal. Moving on to new arenas, he's set to act in Bo Burnham's next feature. With the fate of the world as young people know it up in the air, it's comforting to know that Jaboukie Young-White is just a scroll, click, or stream away. — Taylor Roberts
