Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Elizabeth Shaila Koshy — known universally as <strong>Liza Koshy</strong> — is a Houston-born, Indian-American comedian who built her following on Vine before migrating to YouTube around 2015 and becoming the fastest creator at the time to reach 10 million subscribers. Her format is high-energy physical comedy layered with quick-cut editing and self-aware character work. She parlayed that platform leverage into mainstream television, hosting the revival of <strong>Nickelodeon's Double Dare</strong>, headlining the YouTube Premium scripted series <strong>Liza on Demand</strong>, and landing a supporting role in <em>Transformers: Rise of the Beasts</em> (2023). With TikTok now her only platform showing active follower growth, her near-term trajectory hinges on cross-platform content cadence.

Liza Koshy's full legal name is Elizabeth Shaila Koshy. She adopted the shortened "Liza" early in her content career and it has remained her stage and public identity ever since.
Koshy was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She is of Indian-American heritage — her father is of Indian descent and her mother is of Caucasian and Caribbean descent — a background she has referenced frequently in her comedy.
Koshy hosted the revival of Nickelodeon's Double Dare starting in 2018 and headlined the YouTube Premium scripted comedy series Liza on Demand, which ran for three seasons. She has also made appearances on various talk shows and served as a contributor for NBC's Tonight Show digital content.
Yes. Koshy had a supporting role in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, released in June 2023. It was her highest-profile theatrical film credit to date and marked a deliberate step toward mainstream Hollywood visibility.
Koshy dated fellow YouTuber David Dobrik for roughly two years before publicly announcing their breakup in a joint video in June 2018. The video drew significant attention for its candid and emotional tone, unusual for creator announcements at the time.
Recent confirmed partnerships include Morphe Cosmetics (beauty), Monster Energy (beverage), Amazon Prime Video (entertainment), Fashion Nova (fashion), and Beats by Dre (tech). The spread reflects a comfort zone across lifestyle, consumer tech, and entertainment verticals.
Koshy built her initial following on Vine in 2013–2014 before pivoting to YouTube, where her high-energy physical comedy and fast-cut editing style resonated rapidly. She became, at the time, the fastest creator to reach 10 million YouTube subscribers, hitting that milestone in under six months.
Yes. YouTube remains her primary platform with over 16.6 million subscribers, and she continues to publish sponsored integrations and original comedy content there. However, 30-day subscriber growth on YouTube is currently flat, while TikTok is her only platform registering active growth as of mid-2026.
Across platforms, Koshy posts a headline engagement rate of approximately 3.8%, compared to a comedy-category median of around 1.5%. That positions her engagement at roughly 2.5 times the category baseline, which is a meaningful differentiator for brands evaluating Mega-tier creators.
As of mid-2026, Koshy's combined following across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok sits at approximately 39.7 million. Instagram accounts for the largest share, followed by YouTube, with TikTok as a smaller but faster-growing third platform.
