    Well, the kinds of people that were going to find him did indeed find him. Those of us with more political awareness obviously knew who he was.

    But it’s not like he had the pull of someone like Colbert or Kimmel…

      Their reach was actually pretty similar although it is hard to make a linear comparison. The number I’m seeing for Jimmy Kimmel is that he averaged about 1.7 million views for his show. Charlie Kirk worked in a different platform and put out tons of videos, some only got 100K views, some were over 12 million. He has about 5 million followers.
