Gustav Emil Johnson (born June 20, 1995) is an American YouTuber.

Early life

Gustav Emil Johnson was born in Grantsburg, Wisconsin,[1] on June 20, 1995,[2][1] the son of Debra and Pete.[3] He is of Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish descent.[4] In middle school, he filmed what he called "stupid sketches that kids would think are funny", sometimes with his younger brother Sven.[3] He was elected governor of Badger Boys State in 2013,[5] and graduated from Grantsburg High School in 2014.[3] He graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stout with a degree in entertainment design with a focus on digital cinema in May 2018.[6]

Career

Johnson started his YouTube channel in 2010 with his first video, "Ian's Song".[7] He then went on to create meme videos starring himself and friends, which gradually became more popular.[1] Johnson has released two albums: Lightning Rods and Leaky Roofs and Champagne Seats in 2016.[8][9]

In late 2017, Johnson branched into longform comedy, using Kickstarter to raise funds for a comedy series on a run-down golf course called "Par 9".[10] Johnson and fellow YouTuber Eddy Burback later moved from the Midwest to Los Angeles[1] and created a new show, The Gus & Eddy Podcast.[11] Johnson stepped away from the podcast in October 2021.[12]

In January 2019, Johnson received a nomination at the 11th Shorty Awards for Best YouTube Comedian.[13] On April 10, 2019, Johnson's channel reached one million subscribers on YouTube during his appearance on the H3 Podcast.[4] In 2019, he signed a talent deal with Viacom to create content for Comedy Central.[14]

Personal life

Johnson currently resides in Los Angeles, California.[15]

In 2021, Johnson's ex-partner Abelina Sabrina posted a video accusing him of emotional abuse and neglect while she suffered from an ectopic pregnancy.[16] Several details were later disputed by Johnson in a 2023 interview. [17]
