Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Black IT guy

Jay gives Russell Peters a perfectly respectable job title: director of a project management office. Peters immediately finds the ambiguity in "projects," before Jay clarifies that he teaches IT project managers. That gives the comedian his next turn, joking that the Indians in the audience consider IT their territory.

"Black IT guy" drew the largest audience among Peters' eight uploads this week. It is a compact example of his crowd-work method: ask a name, ask an occupation, then build the exchange around the answer. In the comments, the accent gets a mention, while one viewer recognizes the show as National Harbor.

Marriage supplied another recurring subject, with "Dreaming of a white wife," "Married a white woman | Russell Peters" and "Asian guy has white wife" all appearing in the week's releases. The first is close behind the IT exchange in total views. The freshest momentum, though, belongs to "New York Indians are huge | Russell Peters," which is currently drawing views faster than either.

Across the channel, Peters added roughly 1.8 million views over seven days, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing close to its usual level. Among nearby stand-up channels, Jimmy Carr had a much larger week, while Randy Feltface and Troy Bond had smaller weekly audiences. For Peters, the week's most-watched new clip needed only a name and a job description to get going.
