Facebook and Rolling Stone threw a party for creators, and a married comedy duo named Chan and Jamal Morant were announced as part of Rolling Stone’s 2026 Top 25 Creators list alongside Tefi Pessoa, Tineke Younger, and Jen Hamilton. Their path to the list started with a simple idea: married life, filmed in hoodies, posted on Facebook.
How Chan and Jamal Built a Following
The couple’s breakthrough came with a now-iconic series of sketches where Jamal steals Chan’s hoodie. Their Facebook followers grew fast, and the pair kept posting videos, stories, and Reels that drew hundreds of shares and thousands of comments. Jamal described the platform as one they connect with most.
“It’s the platform we connect with the most,” Jamal said. “We are millennials, and a lot of our audience and fan base are millennials who relate to what we’re going through, because we talk about and make videos about authentic stuff, things that happen in our relationship.”
Chan added that Facebook’s design means fans never miss a post. “The people who follow us get to see every single video that we post,” she said. “You’re going to see it, you’re not going to miss it. That’s why I love it.”
The Money Behind the Laughs
Chan and Jamal are part of Facebook’s Creator Monetization program, which pays creators for Reels, Stories, and photo and text posts. Facebook paid nearly $3 billion to content creators in 2025, and now those earnings are more accessible through Creator Fast Track, which guarantees payouts to creators getting started on the platform.
Jamal said the income supports a lifestyle he never expected. “We probably generated, since the last quarter, close to, or probably over $1 million,” he said.
The couple are using the money to build a mockumentary series, which Chan describes as “Modern Family, but with us.” They remain active on Facebook, with each new Reel inspiring hundreds of shares and thousands of comments.
What Jamal Said About Being on the List
When Jamal learned he and Chan made the list, the reaction was immediate. “I was like, ‘Wait, Rolling Stone? Us? This is awesome!'” he said. “We were really, really happy.”
Chan agreed. “Honestly, we’re truly so honored,” she said. “The list, the people on the list, I’m a big fan of everybody…To be able to be a part of that is so dope.”
The Bottom Line
The Morants are a comedy act whose work centers on marriage, millennial life, and stolen hoodies. Facebook gave them a global audience, and the platform’s monetization tools turned their hobby into a business.
