9. Andy Samberg
Andy Samberg is a huge television and film star, but before he became wildly famous, he was making sketch videos on YouTube with his friends Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer. The three of them met in junior high and started making videos in 2000 under the group name The Lonely Island. Their YouTube videos helped all three of them get gigs on Saturday Night Live, where they produced over 100 “Digital Short” videos, including viral hits like “I’m on a Boat,” and “Jizz In My Pants.” Today you can see Samberg on the Fox sitcomBrooklyn Nine Nine, but he had his origins making YouTube videos with his buddies.
