Almost two years after Ned Fulmer left the group amid a relationship he had with a subordinate employee, the Try Guys announced that this upcoming season will be Eugene Lee Yang’s last.
“Part of this is bittersweet. We’re gonna miss working with Eugene. He has been one of the true collaborators of both of our lives. But we’ve had a long time to process this,” Kornfeld, 33, said. “So we’re very excited for him, very excited for us, and just feeling very energized by this whole moment.”
Kornfeld and Habersberger acknowledged Yang’s departure in a video posted via their YouTube channel on Wednesday, explaining “Our Next Big Try.” They said more details from Yang himself would come in a video to be posted Thursday, May 23.As the title of their video implies, it’s not the only change on the way for the Try Guys. After building their brand on YouTube, they’re also launching their own branded subscription streaming service, 2ndTry TV, named for their production company, 2nd Try.
