The Try Guys have made careers on YouTube by, well, trying new things.
That has included unique experiences, eating entire menus, social experiments, baking and cooking competitions, and other formats that have helped deliver more than 8 million YouTube subscribers, and millions more on other social platforms.
Now, the group is trying arguably their biggest thing yet: A new business model.
On Wednesday, The Try Guys (Zach Kornfeld, Keith Habersberger and Eugene Lee Yang) are launching their own branded subscription streaming service, 2nd Try, in a shift away from YouTube as their core source of monetizing the content they produce.
“Over the last 10 years, we’ve seen both the joys and the limits of algorithmic media making,” Kornfeld tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview. “It obviously has its benefits, it has given us a career! But increasingly we find that our tastes and more importantly, our audience’s taste is...

The Try Guys have something to tell people, but don’t worry, they know what you’re thinking.
The last time the former BuzzFeed employees turned YouTube moguls Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld were in the news, it was for an internet-roiling scandal.

Once upon a time, Ned Fulmer was one-fourth of The Try Guys. The Try Guys started as a content sensation at Buzzfeed before Ned, Zach Kornfeld, Keith Habersberger, and Eugene Lee Yang took their try videos onto their own YouTube channel. Together, the four business partners and friends formed 2nd Try LLC, a company that controlled all The Try Guys’ content and additional projects. Things were going exceedingly well. The foursome expanded their business, added employees, and saw astronomical growth in popularity. Then, Ned Fulmer, who used his marriage as a personality trait, was caught cheating. He left 2nd Try LLC, but did he leave the lives of Eugene, Zach, and Keith, too? It looks like it.

The Try Guys’ infidelity scandal has had far-reaching consequences for the parties involved, Ned Fulmer and Alex Herring. For the former, it was a costly affair that posed a threat to his marriage. This is also true for Herring; the workplace relationship with Fulmer strained her personal and professional life. Joining The Try Guys in August 2018 as a production manager, Herring gained mainstream recognition. This is a reputation that her romantic entanglements have polarized. While she is most known for her work with The Try Guys, Herring’s career dates back to the early 2010s. Back then, she worked as...

The Try Guys will perform ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ and they’ll let their fans rewrite Shakespeare’s story
The Try Guys have tried everything from spicy noodles to corsets to labor pain. On August 10, the trio will attempt something a little bit different by performing William Shakespeare‘s Romeo and Juliet — with a twist. Instead of sticking to the script, The Try Guys will let their fans reinterpret The Bard’s iconic tragedy.
The one-night performance of Romeo and Juliet will feature Zach Kornfeld as the titular Montague prince, with Keith Habersberger playing his Capulet counterpart. Eugene Lee Yang will show off his versality by portraying many of the play’s other characters, including Mercutio, Paris, Friar Lawrence, and Juliet’s nurse.
Based on those casting choices, we’d expect all three Try Guys to end up dead at the end of the night. (Spoiler alert!) But that may not be how the show plays out. As fans watch the performance through interactive streaming platform Kiswe, they’ll...

The Try Guys found themselves in the news in 2022, but not for anything particularly good. The internet exploded when former Try Guy, Ned Fulmer, was ousted from the company he formed with Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang after an affair Ned carried on for several months came to light. Since his ousting, Fulmer has gone dark on the internet, but life has moved on for the try guys, particularly Zach. Now, the company had something good to celebrate. Zach Kornfeld is officially a married man.

The Try Guys are going live.
In their first event following the ousting of Ned Fulmer, the now-trio Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang will cap off this season of culinary chaos series Try Guys Without a Recipe in a live cook-off.
Habersberger, Kornfeld, and Yang will go head-to-head Dec. 17 to see who can make the best churro with no recipe—just a chef’s demonstration to model after. Unlike previous Without a Recipe competitions, which had winners declared by panels of judges, this one will crown its champion based on real-time votes from live viewers.
Those viewers will pay between 19.99 for a basic ticket and 49.99 for a “VIP bundle” with access to a post-show stream and a limited-edition T-shirt. The whole production is being broadcast by Kiswe, a New Jersey-based interactive video company founded in 2013.
The Try Guys have done live in-person events before, but this is their debut live digital broadcast.

In October, “Saturday Night Live” aired a sketch lampooning the recent drama surrounding video content quartet the Try Guys, best known for the wholesome image they cultivated working at BuzzFeed. Weeks before, one of the quartet’s members, Ned Fulmer, was removed from the company after his extramarital affair with an employee came to light, causing a stir on social media among fans of the group. The “SNL” sketch parodied the intense reaction that the news caused, with Brendan Gleeson playing a CNN reporter who devotes airtime to explaining the scandal.
In a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, the three remaining Try Guys — Keith Habersberger, Eugene Lee Yang, and Zach Kornfeld — responded to the sketch, calling the experience of being parodied on the comedy series surreal.
“Well, obviously being parodied on ‘SNL’ was something we didn’t really ever anticipate out of our careers,” Habersberger said. “We never thought we were...

The fall of 2022 was a trying one for the Try Guys.
That’s when the Fab Four of digital content suddenly found themselves at the center of a maelstrom of bad publicity. It all began after it came to light that one of them — Ned Fulmer, 35, who billed himself as the happily married “wife guy” of the group — had been carrying on an inappropriate relationship with an employee who starred on their spinoff series, Food Babies.
The other three — Keith Habersberger, 35, Zach Kornfeld, 32, and Eugene Lee Yang, 36 — took swift and decisive action against Fulmer, first with a Sept. 27 Instagram post announcing he was “no longer working” with them; then with an Oct. 3 video posted to their YouTube channel (which boasts over 8 million subscribers) explaining “what happened,” later parodied on Saturday Night Live.

The Try Guys aren’t having a good year. Things have blown up in their faces in 2022, and it’s all because one of the original four Try Guys, Ned Fulmer, decided to cheat on his wife. Aside from the fact that cheating on his wife and their two small children is abhorrent, many are wondering why this is suddenly a big deal for his business and the other three Try Guys. After all, most people don’t end up fired from their jobs – or the companies they helped found – when they cheat on their spouse. Sure, their names are

Ned Fulmer’s name is all over the media right now, but he’s not a household name for those who aren’t entirely familiar with The Try Guys. The Try Guys began as a group of four men who created their YouTube Channel. They produce content together for the channel, and humor is their genre. Originally, the group was created by four men, and Ned Fulmer was one of them. The other three men include Zach Kornfeld, Keith Habersberger, and Eugene Lee Young. They were all employees of Buzzfeed when they created their channel, and they officially founded their company in 2018.

With an Oct. 8 Saturday Night Live sketch, the Try Guys — the viral video quartet who’ve racked up billions of views trying everything from makeup to jousting — reached a level of mainstream visibility not even they could have dreamed of.
Unfortunately, the sketch mocked the alleged cheating scandal that led to the ousting of member Ned Fulmer — not exactly the kind of celebrity the group probably had envisioned when they broke away from BuzzFeed, where they got their start in 2014, to form their own digital content factory in 2018.
“I’m trying to understand why this story is such a scandal,” asks a bewildered CNN anchor played in the sketch by SNL‘s Ego Nwodim. “Was this affair non-consensual? … The full story is your friend had a side chick and you had to fire him?”
The sketch has drawn criticism for making light of the situation.

Saturday Night Live makes a hilarious attempt at explaining why the Try Guys cheating scandal became major news in a sketch from the NBC variety show’s second season 48 episode.
Starring Bowen Yang as Eugene Lee Yang, Mikey Day as Keith Habersberger and Andrew Dismukes as Zach Kornfeld — YouTubers known as the Try Guys — the sketch kicks off as a CNN report with SNL cast member Ego Nwodim serving as the cable news show’s host and SNL episode host Brendan Gleeson as an on-air correspondent.
Gleeson’s live White House report is abruptly interrupted by a faux interview — recreating a real video from the actual Try Guys release last week — as the trio addresses the fallout of former Try Guys’ member and “Wife Guy” Ned Fulmer’s cheating scandal.

"Saturday Night Live" is facing backlash due to a Try Guys parody sketch that aired during the Oct. 8 episode hosted by Brendan Gleeson. The skit skewered a recent video the guys - Eugene Lee Yang, Zach Kornfeld, and Keith Habersberger - released explaining their decision to fire their fourth member, Ned Fulmer, after it was revealed that he had a workplace affair. While the sketch makes light of the trio's response to their friend and coworker's infidelity, Twitter users are calling out the NBC series for taking aim at the remaining Try Guys rather than Fulmer. (Popsugar reached out to the Try Guys' representatives for comment on the sketch but did not receive an immediate response.)
In the skit, Bowen Yang, Mikey Day, and Andrew Dismukes play Yang, Kornfeld, and Habersberger, who appear in a breaking-news segment on CNN hosted by Gleeson, who appears as a reporter well-versed in the drama.

Saturday Night Live parodied the internet’s extreme interest in a recent cheating scandal involving one of the Try Guys, an online comedy group that started at Buzzfeed.
In real life, one of the Try Guys was fired from the group after admitting to a “consensual workplace relationship” with a producer of the group’s videos.
In the sketch, Brendan Gleeson, who hosted the night’s (8 October) show, starred as a White House reporter who interrupts an important news broadcast to announce that the Try Guys have commented on the unfolding situation. His international news story then continues to be interrupted to provide more and more updates on the Try Guys.
“It’s obviously an evolving story, but CNN can confirm that the Try Guys have released an official Youtube video clapping back at ex-Try Guy Ned Fulmer, the wife guy Try Guy,” Gleeson jokes.

Episode host Brendan Gleeson, who was on the show to promote his upcoming film “The Banshees of Inisherin,” starred in the sketch as a CNN White House correspondent reporting on important developments in America’s relations with Russia. But — much to the befuddlement of anchor Ego Nwodim — Gleeson interrupts the report to announce that the Try Guys have responded to the controversy surrounding Ned Fulmer, who was fired from the group after admitting to a “consensual workplace relationship” with a producer of the group’s online video series.

Even if you don't follow The Try Guys' media content, chances are you've probably heard their name lately.. On Sept. 27, the popular YouTube group announced that one of its four members, Ned Fulmer, would no longer be working with the content creators, following reports of an extramarital affair.
The Try Guys initially addressed the news with a joint statement on social media, officially declaring Ned's departure from the brand following a "thorough internal review." The statement read, "We do not see a path forward together. We thank you for your support as we navigate this change." Since then, both Ned and his wife, Ariel Fulmer, have spoken out on the matter.

Two of the three remaining Try Guys took to their TryPods podcast today to explain, according to member Keith Habersberger, “What we emotionally went through…our side of the experience for the last month.”
That experience was the very public removal of longtime member Ned Fulmer after they discovered that Fulmer, who is married, had an affair with an unnamed staffer. Further complicating things was the fact that his wife, Ariel Fulmer, hosts a podcast called You Can Sit With Us with the other members’ wives.
Titled “Ok, let’s talk about it,” today’s podcast featured Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld detailing just how overwhelming the news and reaction was for them as well as the decision not to replace Fulmer.
“We processed this almost like a trauma,” Kornfeld explained. “It really rocked our word, but also the ramifications were so clear. I don’t think that I really ever stopped to emotionally process it.

The Try Guys are opening up about the “trauma” of the cheating scandal that rocked the internet.
The content creator group made headlines in late September after it was revealed one of their co-founders, Ned Fulmer, was engaging in an affair with an employee. While he’s since been removed from the group, the internet is still buzzing over the scandal, with many unconfirmed rumours gaining popularity.
Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and producer Miles Bonsignore took to their podcast “The TryPod” to try to dispel or confirm rumours and set the record straight.
The internet personalities confirmed the theory from fans that they discovered the affair over labour day weekend.

Yang, along with remaining members Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld confirmed what fans had suspected: Fulmer, who is married, had an affair with an unnamed staffer.
“Ned had engaged in conduct unbecoming of our team,” said Habersberger.
The result is that, to the extent possible, Fulmer’s presence in the group’s videos is being erased, both going forward and retrospectively.
“There are several videos that we’ve deemed as fully unreleasable. You will never see them and that’s due to his involvement,” revealed Kornfeld.
But there are also a few upcoming videos that are sponsored and will include the former member, ostensibly due to contractual obligations.

Although Ned Fulmer is looking to move forward, some fans can't help but look back at his past. Earlier this week, the content creator, who was part of the popular YouTube group The Try Guys, was confirmed to be "no longer working" with his fellow members after allegations surfaced that he cheated on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, with an individual from the workplace.

Ned Fulmer is no longer a member of The Try Guys. The embattled personality announced his departure from the group after admitting to an extramarital affair.
Keen-eyed Try Guys fans noticed that Fulmer had been absent from several of the group’s latest videos. In some clips, it appeared as if Fulmer had been hastily cut out, even though he had been present at associated filming sessions.
Rumors soon swirled. Had Fulmer been booted from the group after having an affair? According to the man himself, yes.

After launching its yearlong influencer marketing initiative dubbed #TargetTalent in September, predominantly on Instagram, the mass retailer is now honing its YouTube presence -- to massive success straight out of the gate.
At first, Target appeared to be focusing #TargetTalent content on Instagram alongside the likes of Vine-turned-YouTube star Lauren Giraldo and Try Guys personality Ned Fulmer -- both of whom helped unveil #TargetTalent via sponsored posts. But now, the company has transitioned its efforts onto its YouTube channel as well, where two of that platform's preeminent creators -- lifestyle vlogger Emma Chamberlain and beauty Og Michelle Phan -- linked up with celebrities to vlog their shopping adventures down the Target aisles.
Target did not immediately respond to request for comment about how it selected its influencer partners or whether additional episodes are forthcoming.

The Try Guys have some big shoes to fill. Following YouTube star Jon Cozart’s wickedly funny turn as host of last year’s Streamy Awards, the comedy quartet has been tapped to headline this year’s show.
