Questions people ask
Who is George Janko?
George Janko is a YouTuber and podcaster born in Chicago. Famous Birthdays describes him as a recording artist who became popular on Vine and YouTube with comedy sketches and challenges. He is best known for Impaulsive, Logan Paul’s podcast, where he guested on EP. 206 and was introduced as the new co-host on EP. 219, published September 22, 2020. Since 2023 he has hosted his own show, The George Janko Show, on his YouTube channel.
What happened to George Janko?
In short: he left Impaulsive in 2023 and has been running his own podcast since. He announced his own show in a January 19, 2023 video, stopped appearing on Impaulsive that year, and in early 2024 gave his reason on BS w/ Jake Paul: personal issues between him and Logan, per Dexerto (more below). As of October 2026 he is still on his own show, with episode 175 published on October 15, 2026, and he has been taking it on the road as live shows.
Why did George Janko leave Impaulsive? Why is he not on Impaulsive anymore?
His own words, on the record. On BS w/ Jake Paul in early 2024 he said, “We had personal issues between each other,” and called Logan “the guy that opened up the doors for me and took care of me” (Dexerto, February 2024). Dexerto noted that Logan had not publicly responded to those comments at the time. Neither man has published a fuller account that we could source, and George has not been part of the Impaulsive cast since 2023.
What happened between George Janko and Logan Paul? Are they still friends?
They worked together for about three years, then split publicly. After the 2023 exit, George sat down with Mike Majlak on his own show on May 9, 2024, in an episode with chapters on why he left Impaulsive and on his current relationship with Logan, and four days later Logan posted a video titled “Responding To George Janko” on his own channel. We link both rather than paraphrase them. In April 2025, Impaulsive EP. 453 carried a chapter titled “George Janko Reunion Episode?!”, and on November 13, 2025 George published an episode of his own show titled “George Returns To Impaulsive”. Neither man has described the friendship as fully repaired in anything we could source.
What happened between George Janko and Bobby Lee?
A roast that went badly on air. Comedian Bobby Lee guested on Impaulsive EP. 351, published November 8, 2022. The episode’s own chapter list includes “Bobby Roasts George’s Monologue” and ends on “George STORMS OFF The Podcast!”, and the show’s clips channel later posted George explaining why he walked off. Bobby Lee came back to Impaulsive with Andrew Santino in an episode published June 23, 2026, whose chapters include “Bobby Lee addresses George Janko leaving.” It was a professional clash on a shared panel; we found no sourced account of anything beyond that.
What happened to The George Janko Show? Is the podcast still going?
It is still going. He announced it in a January 19, 2023 video on his channel, and the episodes now post on his main YouTube channel rather than a separate one, with full episodes and short clips most days. Episode 174 went up on October 9, 2026 and episode 175 on October 15, 2026, per the channel’s feed. Recent episodes mix guest interviews with listener call-ins. In November 2025 he was promoting a live tour, and the show’s site now takes sign-ups for tickets to The George Janko Show live, marked coming soon.
Does George Janko have a Wikipedia page?
No. As of October 2026 there is no English Wikipedia article about him. Everything here is sourced to his own channels, the shows he appeared on and press coverage, linked in each answer.
How old is George Janko?
George Janko is 33. Famous Birthdays lists his birthday as January 3, 1993, and his birthplace as Chicago, Illinois.
What is George Janko’s real name? What is his full name?
He goes by George Janko on every platform, and Impaulsive and the press credit him under that name. No other or longer name has been published by him or by major press, so we do not list one.
Where can I watch George Janko?
The George Janko Show and his clips are on YouTube @GeorgeJanko, with short videos on TikTok @georgejanko and Instagram @georgejanko. His Impaulsive years, 2020 to 2023, are on the Impaulsive channel, starting with EP. 219. Live dates are announced through thegeorgejankoshow.com.
What is George Janko’s net worth?
He does not publish a number and neither do we.
What about George Janko’s family, personal life or beliefs?
Not something we cover.
Who represents George Janko?
His YouTube descriptions list a business email at Division Media and a number to text for booking him in your city. We could not find a named agency or manager in trade press. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking what happened between him and Impaulsive, and most of the answer is on the record in his own words. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with George Janko. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Long, loose conversation with a guest or with callers, then the same episode cut into short vertical clips that post daily. He learned the format on Impaulsive, where he was often the one the panel teased, and his own show keeps the open, personal tone without the teasing.
Why it travels. The Impaulsive years left him with name recognition far bigger than his own show, and some of his most watched episodes revisit that history, like the 2024 sit-down with Mike Majlak at about 2.4 million views. Every new Logan Paul or Impaulsive mention sends people back to search for him, which is the traffic this entry answers.
Brand fit. He already runs reads: his YouTube descriptions have listed Celsius, Manscaped and Braintika as partners. The live show is the next lane, for ticketing and venue partners. Episodes run long and range widely, so a brand should watch a few full episodes before deciding, and anyone tied to Logan Paul’s companies should expect the history to come up.
