Kevin Hart Leads Top Comedians Social Media Ranking, Hari Kondabolu Debuts
The chart ranks the most popular comedians based on data from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus.

Kevin Hart’s boost in social media engagement following the reveal of his Tommy John underwear line helps him to retain his lead on The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Comedians chart dated Nov. 7.
The Top Comedians chart is a ranking of the most popular comedians on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus, with global data provided by social media analytics company MVPindex. The chart's methodology blends social engagement on the platforms along with weekly additions of followers/subscribers. The latest tracking week ended Oct. 30.
The entirety of the chart’s top six remains intact, with Tommy Chong, Joe Rogan, D.L. Hughley, Jessica “Jess Hilarious” Robin Moore and Ricky Gervais following Hart.
Meanwhile, Trevor Noah vaults back onto the chart at No. 7, and Hari Kondabolu makes his maiden Top Comedians appearance at No. 10.
