YouTube group The Try Guys are set to lose another member of the group’s founding quartet.

Founded by Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang, the popular YouTube group is looking a bit barebones nowadays.

Nearly two years ago now, Fulmer quit the group after it emerged he'd been cheating on his wife.

"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 [wife] Ariel," he penned on X at the time.

Now, Yang has announced his departure from The Try Guys as he seeks to pursue other career endeavours.

While Yang will appear in the forthcoming season of The Try Guys, the following season will see Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld as the sole hosts.

Speaking to Rolling Stone in a new interview, Kornfeld said: "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.

"So we’re very excited for him, very excited for us, and just feeling very energized by this whole moment."

Meanwhile, Habersberger added: "Eugene leaving is something that is sort of necessary for us to keep moving forward.

"Things change. THE TRY GUYS ’ original cast already came to an end once, But now it’s sort of getting a better finite ending."

On top of Yang's exit news, The Try Guys will be launching their own ad-free subscription streaming service and app that will cost $4.99 a month.

Speaking of that, Kornfeld said: "We’ve been doing this for 10 years, we have seen both the joys and the limits of algorithmic media making. We’ve obviously benefited from it greatly ourselves.

"But we’re at a point where we find that our taste and our audience’s taste is at odds with what algorithms, specifically, the YouTube algorithm rewards. And so by doing 2ndTry TV, we’re creating a space where we can bet on ourselves and bet on our fans to support the shows they want to see."

Fans who watch the group on YouTube will be glad to hear they will not be going anyway from that platform, with the new app working in tandem.
