TheTry Guyswill remain a trio for the foreseeable future.
The YouTube personalities explained Thursday on theirTryPodspodcast that they arenot looking to fill a vacant fourth spoton their crew in the wake of former memberNed Fulmer’sworkplace affair and cheating scandal.
“No, we will have new people that come in and out. We obviously already have our buddyKwesi [James], who we love, but I don’t want to put the pressure on anyone to say, ‘This is the new Try Guy, and he is the replacement!’ That’s not fair to them,” saidZach Kornfeldin theirfirst podcast episode since the scandal brokelast week.
Keith Habersbergeradded: “It’s a good opportunity to let other people, to let women, to let non-binary people, to let people from different backgrounds, ages, and body types have these sorts of experiences. So, we can actually, as viewers, gain a different perspective of cool opportunities.”
Along with fourth founding memberEugene Lee Yang, Kornfeld and Habersberger announced in a statement last Tuesday that Fulmer, 35, “is no longer working” with them, following social media speculation of a workplace affair between the married Fulmer and a female colleague.
“As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together,” the statement continued. “We thank you for your support as we navigate this change.”
Fulmer subsequently admitted to “a consensual workplace relationship” in a statement on Instagram, adding: “Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus.”
“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,” Fulmer wrote. “The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I am going to focus my attention.”
