Matan Evenoff (born April 23, 2007), known as Matan Even, is an American YouTuber and social media influencer. Even is the host of a satirical podcast on YouTube.
Matan Even was born in Los Angeles, California, in 2007. [1]
At 12 years old, Even gained some internet fame when he spoke out against the Chinese occupation of Hong Kong in 2019. [2] During a Los Angeles Clippers game, Even tricked the Dance Cam and flashed his T-shirt which stated, "Fight for Freedom, Stand up for Hong Kong", in support of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. [3] Following that incident, he appeared at BlizzCon 2019 and yelled "Free Hong Kong". [4]
Students for a Free Tibet brought Even on a panel to discuss the situation in Hong Kong. [2] Infowars host Owen Shroyer had Even on his program twice to further discuss Hong Kong. [5] In a 2020 appearance, Shroyer called Even "one of the young stars of the conservative movement". [2]
In 2022, Even gained further fame when he crashed a speech given by the developers of Elden Ring at the Game Awards 2022. [6] When Elden Ring won Game of the Year, he joined the developers as they walked onstage, and, after they thanked the crowd, announced in a thick Israeli accent "I want to thank everybody and say I think I want to nominate [ sic ] this award to my Reformed Orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton. Thank you, everybody.". [7] [8] He later explained that he simply bought a regular ticket to the event and then walked on stage when the developers won their award. [7] He was escorted outside and a police report was taken, but there was no official arrest report. [7] He was taken to a secure area in the Microsoft Theater and then transported by the Los Angeles Police Department to the local police station, but was not arrested. [9] He was interviewed by multiple outlets after the incident. [7] [8]
Even started The Matan Show in 2023. A number of celebrities and influencers have come on the show. It has established a consistent presence in the podcasting world, releasing new episodes extremely frequently. The show has received a positive response from its audience, evidenced by the 4.6-star rating out of 5, based on 245 reviews on Apple Podcasts. The show is based in the United States and is conducted in English, and this has made the show open to receiving guests, contributing to the diversity of the show’s interviewees. The Show is not just for its guests, but for its unconventional and intentionally chaotic style. It has Intentional Low Production Value. In a deliberate contrast to the polished, high-budget sets of traditional TV and many podcasts, the show features a deliberately shoddy aesthetic. This includes terrible chairs and mismatched desks, and an unkempt appearance that creates a unique and disarming visual identity. [10]
Even was the opening speaker at the 2025 New York Young Republican Club Gala. [11] Even stayed in character, talking about SpongeBob SquarePants and making light of the audience. [11] [12]
