5:10Now PlayingBenito Skinner’s over-the-top skits and impressions of celebrities including Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish and Kourtney Kardashian have won the comedian from Boise, Idaho—who also goes by “Benny Drama”—more than 2.7 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. “Earlier in my career, I wanted to please everyone,” Skinner says. “I’ve learned my most successful videos are when I create something that makes me laugh.” Skinner has endorsement deals with Svedka, Ulta and Target. In June, he performed his Kourtney Kardashian impression on The Kardashians; in November, he inked a deal with Amazon to write and produce Overcompensating, a show based on his childhood as a closeted teen.
