John Crist (born March 20, 1984) is an American comedian from Lilburn, Georgia.[2] His highest-viewed YouTube sketches include "Every parent at Disney", "Millennial International: Sponsor a Millennial Today", "If golf and soccer switched announcers", and "Weather Man MELTS down on live TV". He is also known for his work creating comedy sketch videos for YouTube.[3][4] Crist has opened for Jeff Foxworthy, Dave Chappelle, Seth Meyers, Tim Hawkins, and Anjelah Johnson.[5][6][4]

In November 2019, allegations of sexual misconduct led to Crist cancelling the remainder of his Immature Thoughts comedy tour, and a planned Netflix stand-up special featuring him was put on hold.[7] Crist later used the footage for his "What Are We Doing?" Special, his first YouTube special. In October 2022, Crist released his first book "Delete That (and Other Failed Attempts To Look Good Online)"
