Ethan Edward Klein (born June 25, 1985[2]) is an American-Israeli [3]YouTuber and podcaster. He is the host of the H3 Podcast. He first found fame with the YouTube channel h3h3Productions, created by him and his wife Hila Klein.
Klein’s entertainment career began shortly after the couple’s meeting while Hacmon was enrolled in the Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art in Ramat Gan, Israel. Klein commented that their first YouTube channel began out of “spite” when Hacmon praised a male student in her video art class for his artistic talents. Wanting to prove himself to Hacmon, Klein proposed they make videos together and post them online under the h3h3Productions YouTube channel. The "h3h3" name was created in reference to the couple's first initials. However, because “hehe” was not an available title, they opted for "h3h3."[10]
The h3h3Productions YouTube channel first got mainstream traction when Klein began posting weekly reaction videos. These videos were in response to what he describes as left-leaning "social justice warriors," where he acted as the "anti-social justice warrior."[11] In 2016, Ethan and Hila created the H3 Podcast YouTube channel. Although it initially started with pre-recorded episodes, the channel quickly pivoted towards long-form live content.
Klein is vocal about his support for antidepressants, which he says helped save his relationships not only with his wife but with all those around him.[12][13]
