Today, Ray William Johnson announced the end date for his popular “Equals Three” YouTube show on his Facebook page, and it’s a lot sooner than anyone had thought or hoped.

This Wednesday, March 12, “Equals Three” will see its final episode go public on Johnson’s main YouTube channel.

“Equals Three” began its run in 2009, and quickly grew to become a prominent YouTube show mainstay that has collected over a billion views. Hence the title, each episode of “Equals Three” features Johnson reviewing and commenting on three viral videos.

On why he’s ending the show, Johnson stated in his “Runaway Thoughts” podcast back in Jan. 5:

“Like I’m getting to that point where, not only am I burnt out, but I feel like I need to move on. To put it into context, I’ll be 33 in August, and the show — the show is a performance, and it’s like a performance as much as anything is a performance, but it feels way immature.”

Aside from “Equals Three,” Johnson and his girlfriend Anna Akana own their studio Runaway Machine (formerly Runaway Planet), which recently produced the successful “Riley Rewind” narrative series on Johnson’s main channel.

Alan is a mystery to everyone, including the staff at NMR. All that's known of him is that he is the epitome of a brilliant writer. Accordingly, his works are often misunderstood and of course, always under-appreciated. Expect to see his novels for sale on a bookshelf near you one day, but only if the bookshelf near you happens to be his bookshelf, and loose leaf Xerox copies of his handwritten journals filled with the erotically charged tales of one Astronaut Johnny Danger Hughes and his sidekick, Pancho the Chow Chow, can be considered 'novels.'
