Meet the clones
In addition to Tyler’s assistant script editors, Phobia and Bitter, and his co-editor Timothy Meier, Tyler has a team of clones who help keep OrangeRiver up and running. While he has not revealed how many of these clones were created, at least five were let go before the channel’s 2021 rebranding. Presently, the team consists of five other clones and one doppelganger from an alternate universe. The “real” Tyler’s whereabouts are unknown, having escaped the wrath of temporal agents into the multiverse years ago.
JIMMY - Tyler’s transporter clone, brought into existence in January 2022 following a failed demonstration using faulty blueprints sold on the Dark Web. After adopting Tyler’s middle name (James), in April 2022, Jimmy overthrew Tyler and reclaimed his original name. He is now the main presenter on OrangeRiver.
AGENT TYLER - An older clone of Tyler created using advanced technology. Sent back in time to delay WWIII, this Tyler created OrangeRiver in 2013. He ran the channel until he was deposed in a coup in 2022. After escaping from space prison, his current whereabouts are unknown.
MIRROR TYLER - A version of Tyler from an extremely authoritarian parallel universe. He occasionally crosses over to film videos about Star Trek’s mirror universe.
REDNECK CLONE - One of the original clones from the Anim8orkid era of Tyler’s channel. After being fired in 2018, Redneck Clone returned to OrangeRiver in 2019 and was promoted to chief operations officer in 2022.
SPONSOR CLONE - A clone Tyler created to help deliver sponsored segments. When not performing his duties, Sponsor Clone is kept in cryosleep.
GHOST TYLER - An ethereal clone of Tyler who died under undisclosed circumstances. He occasionally phases into this dimension to talk about his favorite TNG episode, “Sub Rosa.”
