History

The Try Guys is an American online comedy series and group consisting of comedians, actors, and filmmakers Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang. The group was formed at Buzzfeed in 2014 by the four then-employees. Since then, their viral videos have garnered over a billion views across social media platforms.

Their show Squad Wars premiered on YouTube Red in 2017.

On June 16, 2018, The Try Guys announced that they had left BuzzFeed and started their own independent production company, 2nd Try LLC, which gained all rights to The Try Guys brand.

In June 2018, a book co-written by the Try Guys was released, titled The Hidden Power of F*cking Up. The following year, they began their own podcast and embarked on a worldwide tour. On August 31, 2022, their series on Food Network, No Recipe Road Trip with The Try Guys, began airing.

On September 16, 2022, Ned was fired from the group after having an extramarital affair with one of his employees. His ouster was not announced due to personal reasons until two weeks later after rapid speculation by fans.
