The Try Guys originated at BuzzFeed in 2014, where their willingness to try anything on camera resonated with global audiences. Composed formerly of Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, Eugene Lee Yang, and Keith Habersberger, the group departed BuzzFeed in 2018 to form their independent production company, 2ND TRY LLC. This move allowed them greater creative control, leading to the diversification of their content and the launch of their subscription service, 2ndtry.tv, for exclusive and uncensored material. Following a widely publicized incident involving Ned Fulmer in late 2022, the remaining core members, Keith, Zach, and Eugene, continued producing content, addressing the challenges authentically with their audience. They have since expanded their on-screen presence to include a broader cast and staff members who feature prominently in various series. Known for their core motto "We Try Everything," The Try Guys' content spans numerous genres, including elaborate cooking and baking competitions ("Without A Recipe"), extensive food tours ("Eat The Menu"), game shows ("Trolley Problems," "Escape the Kitchen"), travelogs, and in-depth discussions on their several popular podcasts ("The Try Pod," "You Can Sit With Us," "Guilty Pleasures"). Their work blends genuine reactions, humor, and vulnerability, often exploring personal topics such as relationships, mental health, and identity. They maintain a highly engaged community dubbed "Tryceratops" and are active across multiple platforms, utilizing YouTube for their flagship videos and podcasts, along with TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter for short-form content, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and audience interaction. They also participate in philanthropic efforts and engage with social issues, reflecting the diverse interests and values of the group and their extended team.
