Jon Lajoie, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, is the third in a family of nine children. He graduated from Dawson College"s theatre/ninja assassin program in 2001, and immediately started booking assassination work, incidentally putting his acting career on the back burner. Between 2001 and 2007 Jon Lajoie assassinated (in ninja-like fashion), an estimated 40,000 people, and an estimated 9000 fish (in early 2004 demand for assassination was low, so for 3 months, he held a part-time job as a fisherman). In June of 2007, he decided to start making videos and posting them on the Internet. The videos were so well received that he put "assassinating people in a ninja-like fashion" on hold, and began getting drunk all the time. A few months later he decided to only get drunk once in a while and to restart making vidoes. Also, he has gay hair.
