Alan Chikin Chow built a universe on YouTube, and he's not done

@alanchikinchow / Creator of "Alan's Universe" Alan Chikin Chow is best known for being YouTube’s number one Shorts creator, but his career has expanded well beyond the platform into the beauty industry, TV, and Hollywood. The 27-year-old Dallas-raised content creator started his YouTube channel, Alan’s Universe, in 2020, and has since amassed 100 million subscribers. Starring in scripted sketches that incorporate drama, comedy, and romance, Chow sees his popular videos routinely go viral. "Boys vs Girls: Control the School" has nearly 90 million views on YouTube to date. In 2024, Chow opened a 10,000-square-foot production studio in Los Angeles, where Alan’s Universe is filmed. In March 2025, he partnered with Roku to bring his signature show to the streaming platform, marking the first time that his content was available outside of YouTube. Within the same year, Alan’s Universe also became available on Amazon Prime and Tubi.
