The Try Guys have hit headlines over the past few days following Ned Fulmer’s departure from the YouTube group after he admitted to cheating on his wife with a colleague.
The group of YouTubers confirmed Ned had been dropped following an ‘internal review’.
Ned also apologised in his own statement, saying that family should have been his priority.
They released their most recent video, Try Guys Try Stand Up Comedy, this week, with some fans claiming that Ned had actually been edited out.
Here’s everything you need to know about the YouTube group.

The Try Guys are a YouTube group currently made up of Zach Kornfeld, Eugene Lee Yang and Keith Habersberger.
They first formed with Ned Fulmer at Buzzfeed in 2014 but left the company in 2018 to form their own production company.
They now boast more than seven million subscribers on YouTube.
Outside of the Try Guys, Keith is a member of the comedy music group Lewberger, which has appeared on various TV shows, including America’s Got Talent in 2021. He’s married to Becky Habersberger.
Zach also has a comedy background and, as a child, appeared in an episode of Saturday Night Live. He’s dating Maggie Bustamante.
Eugene started making videos on his own before joining The Try Guys. He came out as gay in a video in 2019, later chatting to Metro.co.uk about it. He’s currently dating Matthew McLean.
Ned had a career in chemistry before starting at Buzzfeed. His association with the group ended this week, with the issuing of the statement. He’s married to Ariel Fulmer.
What do The Try Guys do?
The Try Guys are known for exactly that – trying new things.
Their most popular videos include The Try Guys Try Getting Their Bones Cracked (26million views) and The Try Guys Try Baking Pie Without A Recipe.
Why is Ned Fulmer no longer in The Try Guys?
Ned is no longer part of The Try Guys after admitting to cheating on his wife Ariel with a colleague.
The Try Guys said in a statement: ‘Ned Fulmer is no longer working with The Try Guys. As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together.
‘We thank you for your support as we navigate this change.’
Ned later said: ‘Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship.
‘I’m sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans, but most of all to Ariel.’
He continued: ‘The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I am going to focus my attention.’
Ariel said in her own statement: ‘Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me – it means a lot.
‘Nothing is more important to me and Ned than our family, and all we request right now is that you respect our privacy for the sake of our kids.’
