Matan Even

Matan Even is an American comedian and YouTuber known for pranks and absurdist humor. Even's character comedy has been associated with satire of conservative politics in the United States. In 2019, Even first rose to prominence at the age of 12 as an activist for the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong through high-profile pranks at NBA games and at BlizzCon 2019, following increased pressure faced by United States companies from the Chinese government during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. After the end of the protests, Even returned to fame in 2022 when, at that year's Game Awards ceremony, he gave a nonsensical acceptance speech dedicated to "Rabbi Bill Clinton" when Elden Ring won Game of the Year, despite not being involved in the game's development. After the event, Even further gate crashed the streams of online streamers, including Hasan Piker and Kai Cenat. Since 2023, he runs a weekly podcast, The Matan Show, in which he interviews a variety of guests, typically internet personalities, with intentionally provocative and confrontational questions.
