Jason Yevgeniy Gastrow (born January 30, 1991), better known online as VideoGameDunkey or simply dunkey, is an American YouTuber known for his crude humor and video game criticism. Jason is worth $5.13 million as of April 2024, according to Net Worth Spot.
Jason Gastrow was born on January 30, 1991, and has lived in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin. Gastrow married fellow YouTuber Leah Bee in September 2019. Jason's race is a frequent source of confusion and running gag on the channel, which Bee attributes to his voice and the fact that he rarely shows his face in videos.
Jason had a channel before videogamedunkey, and Gastrow recalled that the name "VideoGameDunkey" came to him while playing Left 4 Dead with a friend. Gastrow has Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter pages, and he is active on YouTube. In addition, he and his wife Leah run the online store Dunkey's Castle. According to Yannick LeJacq of Kotaku, Jason "had a special place in the League of Legends universe for consistently producing some of the best, and definitely the funniest, material in the game's massive community." He did, however, stop making League videos in September 2015 after being banned for "toxic" behavior, such as repeatedly insulting teammates in-game.
According to Jason, he will sometimes write a script for a video and then record voice-overs, while other times, he will record as he performs. In an interview, Jason stated that he "would try to cut out the funniest parts" of his videos depicting League of Legends and Overwatch (2016).
