About

Mustache Hat Jubilee Guy is a nickname given to Iranian-American Matin Samimiat or @matinsamimiat, best known for participating in a viral Jubilee "Surrounded" YouTube video featuring journalist Mehdi Hasan in late July 2025. Matin Samimiat's unique and anachronistic appearance, with his flat-brimmed hat and pointy mustache, garnered attention online in the aftermath of the Jubilee video. Twitter / X users posted memes and jokes describing him as the "Mexican devil," and looking like an old-timey villain that "took a break from tying a woman to a railroad tracks." Others joked about him resembling Spy vs. Spy or a traveling magician, as well as looking like a puppeteer who was controlling the other contestants with strings. Some internet users also joked about Samimiat being Waluigi Mangione, and highlighted how similar he looked to the suspected UHC CEO assassin.

Origin

On July 20th, 2025, the YouTube[1] page Jubilee posted a video titled, "1 Progressive vs 20 Far-Right Conservatives (ft. Mehdi Hasan)," in which the former Mehdi Hasan Show host and Zeteo news CEO host debated young, self-professed "far-right" people. The video gathered over 2 million likes in a day.

At the 54:48 timestamp, Hasan faced off against Iranian American Matin Samimiat @matinsamimiat.[2] Samimiat is shown wearing a dark blue suit and a flat-brimmed hat while sporting a manicured, pointy mustache and goatee. Samimiat debated with Hasan about the vetting process for legal immigrants before being voted out by other participants.



One of the first internet users to comment on Matin Samimiat's unique appearance was X[3] user @Alexander_Avina, who tweeted, "Cmon lmao" on July 20th, 2025, alongside an image of Matin Samimiat.

Later that day, X[4] user @SheaSerrano wrote, "took a break from tying a woman to a railroad track to come argue," and gathered over 90,000 likes in a day.
