The Try Guys, known for their entertaining and adventurous content on YouTube, are undergoing a significant change as Eugene Lee Yang announces his departure from the group. This departure comes after a period of growth and evolution for the popular YouTube personalities.
Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld, the remaining members of the Try Guys, are determined to continue expanding their channel despite Yang’s exit. The group revealed to Rolling Stone that the upcoming season of Try Guys content will mark Yang’s last appearances with the group as he explores new creative opportunities.
While acknowledging the bittersweet nature of Yang’s departure, Habersberger and Kornfeld express their excitement for both Yang’s future endeavors and the new chapter for the Try Guys. The group plans to introduce 2ndTry TV, a subscription-based model aimed at providing fans with more exclusive content while allowing the Try Guys greater creative freedom.
The Try Guys originally gained fame through a video series produced by BuzzFeed, where hosts Yang, Kornfeld, Habersberger, and Ned Fulmer embarked on a variety of daring experiences. From drag performances to UFC fighting, the group’s engaging content resonated with audiences and propelled them to YouTube stardom.
In 2018, the Try Guys parted ways with BuzzFeed to establish their own production company, 2ndTry, enabling them to further explore their individual interests such as stand-up comedy, cooking, and fashion. Throughout their journey, the Try Guys have maintained a transparent relationship with their viewers, sharing personal anecdotes and experiences.
Yang’s decision to leave the group marks a new chapter for the Try Guys, signaling a shift in their dynamic and paving the way for fresh creative opportunities. Despite the changes, Habersberger and Kornfeld are optimistic about the future of the Try Guys and are committed to continuing their legacy of entertaining and inspiring content.
