Formation of Try Guys and Early Success
The Try Guys kicked off their journey in 2014 at BuzzFeed, thanks to the efforts of Eugene Lee Yang, Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer and Zach Kornfeld. They grabbed attention with their hilarious debut video entitled “Guys Try Ladies’ Underwear for the First Time”. What made them stand out was that they were among the first to have a fixed group of buddies regularly appearing in BuzzFeed videos.
In 2017, they expanded their horizons and launched their show “Squad Wars” on YouTube Red. The real breakthrough came with “The Try Guys Try Labor Pain Simulation” video, which skyrocketed to popularity with an astonishing 35 million views. Their content was such a hit that they managed to rack up an impressive 100 million views on BuzzFeed’s YouTube channel.
The recognition started pouring in, and in 2017 they were nominated for the esteemed Streamy Awards Show of the Year. But the excitement didn’t stop there – in 2018, they not only hosted the Streamy Awards but also secured the coveted Show of the Year award.

Rise to Stardom
In 2018, The Try Guys made a big move by leaving BuzzFeed and creating their own company called 2nd Try LLC.

By 2019, they had their own YouTube channel, which quickly garnered 2.3 billion! Moreover, they attracted more than 7.5 million subscribers.
In early 2019, they surprised everyone by saying they’d written a book together entitled “The Hidden Power of F*cking Up”, published in June and was a big hit, even making it to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list. The book is about how they messed up sometimes, but those mistakes helped them learn and grow. People liked that it was open and honest.
They also went on a tour, “Legends of the Internet” and started a podcast called The TryPod. Their company grew, and by 2021, they had 24 employees, and even had their own show on the Food Network called “No Recipe Road Trip with the Try Guys”, was based on their YouTube series called “Without A Recipe”.
