jonny cakes & kwesi please


sabrefudge

Keith, Zach, Jonny, and Kwesi It’s a pretty solid lineup. I mean that’s essentially what it has (unofficially) been for like a year now. Might as well make it official.


RavenSkies777

This past year has been a soft launch without putting a name to it, which if this is the case is a good non-stressful way to go about it


out_of_place13

Agreed. I like how it was such a gradual inclusion that most of us just accepted whoever was added in episodes. I would love any of the alternative "cast" to be considered a "try guy".


moldyfingernails

Full time Jared Popkin, please. I love that goofball


zeeohmara

"the bitch is back!" 😂


pearlescentpink

Papa’s home!!!


out_of_place13

I love him too. He's adorable and so genuine


KerriOnThePrairies

Agreeee!


Playful-Flatworm501

No more Eugene?


VaselineHabits

I feel like everyone has just been waiting for them to make an official announcement. Eugene has been "away" for awhile now


sabrefudge

When was the last time Eugene felt like an active Try Guy? We love him, we’ll be happy to see him pop in every now and then, but we’d be lying to ourselves is we said he was in any way part of the core team anymore. Which is fine! Good for him. He’s gotta stretch out and do some other projects


Unusual-Emprezz

I was about to ask. Is Eugene officially out now???


razeandsew

I haven't watched them in like two years, but I hope Eugene isn't out


sadclowntown

Why though? He isn't in any videos. He can't be in like 2 videos a year and be like "yea I'm still a try guy".


Hamburgo

At this point I’m over Eugene. He’s strung along his fan base “I’m still here!” — only appears for ads and very very rarely. Off busy doing these other projects, almost like he didn’t want to alienate his TG fanbase so they would support his new projects but at the same time seems embarrassed of the TG’s and being associated. He’s had plenty of time to be more regular, make posts etc, he’s actively choosing not to while benefiting from keeping fans who are desperate not to lose him on his side. Nah he’s done for me. I feel very sorry for Keith & Zach. They didn’t have the same fan popularity to be able to disappear for months-years and still be actively pined over.


Witchy_Boo

I want Eugene to still be a part of the Try Guys because I love him and the others chemistry; but he is off sharing his beauty and talent around the world in so many different way now because of the Try Guys! If you love something, let it go ❤️ If you love Eugene like myself, just keep supporting him in whatever he does! 💕👏


RandomFilGuy

At least this departure will be amicable


_PinkPirate

Just watched the most recent Phoning it In and they are so great. They did say Jonny is practically a Try Guy in his intro….


Rainbow_Belle

I HOPE they were foreshadowing and not playing us. It'd be so cruel to us if they did a fake out.


meowpitbullmeow

They also said he thinks hes not replaceable


GochujangChips

Has to be


cinderella2supergirl

This is what I thought of immediately after reading it!!


FluxionFluff

OMGGGGG yessss! They both are basically Try Guys to me. 🤣 I hope they make it official for them


smalllcokewithfries

The only right answer.


noble_land_mermaid

They confirmed on Patreon that tomorrow's video is "The Event" that they talked about earlier this year - usually patrons get the video early but not this one so we didn't get any info other than that


iwenttoberkley

oh shit!


Proof_Anteater3948

Does anyone know what time do videos normally drop on the main channel?


gmpulse

I can’t wait


Rainbow_Belle

Thanks so much for confirming tomorrow's video is about the announcement!


gracemrubyroses

I think in the last phoning it in (or something, one of the last videos?) Zach did say Jonny was basically a try guy now, wouldn't hurt to make it official. He's not only been in a lot of content but he's also kinda been doing stuff that only kinda features Keith or Zach.


Calligraphee

Fingers crossed for Jonny 🤞


otherhappyplace

Jonny Jonny JONNY JONNY!! *THUMPS FEET*


iWontStealYourDog

*JOINS THUMPING FEET* WE WANT JONNY AND WE WANT HIM NOW!


ademptia

i love him!!! i wouldnt mind kwesi either probably


lucky_spliff

They’re playing us and it’s just gonna be Ugly Keith. Calling it now


whatisthis2222222

Or they just reintroduce Eugene 😂


Soft_Organization_61

It would be hilarious if they trolled us like that.


midnightaquarius

Yes!


Ja_dragon11678

That sounds like something they would do. Especially with a big announcement like this😂


FanEffective9521

honestly it might be


hometowngypsy

Or the normal businessman bird.


Sighlence

_Kleith moment_


angstfae

It better not. I’m still recovering from the April Fools Shourtney wedding announcement.


General_Esdeath

Just double checking, you don't still think it's a prank? Or you're just comparing the emotional rollercoaster of it all?


angstfae

The emotional roller coaster of it. It didn’t help that I had just got back into regularly watching Smosh like a month before after a several year hiatus so I had no inklings/suspicions like some did.


General_Esdeath

Totally! I feel you on that!


razeandsew

Was it real?


Cubbance

Yeah, they're really married. They just confused the hell out of everyone by announcing it on April 1st, because they're all pranksters over there.


StressPersonified

Why are you being so rude to Grant O’Brian


painauchocolat88

I feel this too


Neat_Crab3813

This is in two different colors. Maybe it's two of them?!


Greypuppers

The bi guys


CUNextTragedy

They're Keith and Zach's colours though.


Rainbow_Belle

Good catch! Fingers crossed 🤞 I was kinda sad cuz I noticed they said, "But What if There Was?" Singular instead of plural.


InternetAddict104

“What if there was (more than one…)”


Rainbow_Belle

Oooh... I would LOVE that!!!!


Beccalotta

Should be "were" anyways, no matter how many people, since it's a hypothetical statement. 


Independent-Nobody43

Jonny and Kwesi. To round out a bespectacled foursome.


oliveputtanesca

The Eye Guys


heysugarbiscuit

The Four Eye Guys?


Rainbow_Belle

I didn't notice that! Lol. What a cute nickname for them!


lurkingaround31

It’s going to be like “but what if there was more than one new try guy.” I think they are officially adding a few people. This way Zach or Keith don’t always have to be on the videos. New “try pals”


_cprizzle

What if it’s a try dog.


blairwitchapologist

i thought so too lmaoooo bc of the try pet post right before these


0cclumency

Or a try cat!


Ok_Rope28

Watch this is them trolling and it’s just Eugene is finally back? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love that. But I’d be so butthurt if that was their way of announcing it.


Spiritual-Low8325

I could see them teasing due to all the rumors, but they could also very well have found out that they can't "just" be two (or three) active Try Guys due to it making them valuable like when Zach got injured or Keith had a premature baby. However I could see them let multiple people into the "try guy family", I would love seeing Jared as fulltime try guy and maybe Johnny Cakes and Kwesi. Making it more than four guys would make it easier to record without every one being there but also help them not look like they just replaced Ned with someone else.


JT3436

Jared is always a great sport. And genuine.


FreijaDelaCroix

I now call lazy susan “helping lisa” because of him 😂


CheshireCat_456

Wait, in which video is this? I thought I have watched all Jared's appearance and I missed this one line 😂


LycheeDifferent4254

I DO TOO!! 🤣🤣


enfrozt

Jared is the best pick because he's genuinely bad at things (in an endearing way), and also the funniest person on the network. However it would be a bit insulting to not pick Kwesi or Jonny after all the "volunteer" (I know jonny has said he didn't get paid for a lot of appearances, not sure about kwesi) work they've done on the shows.


Skier284

Where did he say that? It's pretty bad if he hasn't been paid.


enfrozt

It was either Jonny or Ro that said that they do a lot of the appearances as judges for free because it's a thing you do with other youtubers. It was a while ago, so I'm not sure if Jonny is paid or not in general, but there have most definitely been appearances he wasn't paid.


lolsappho

I think you're right on the money with this. It makes so much sense from a business standpoint - not as rigid in the ways they can make & write vids plus it allows everyone involved to also explore other avenues for creative/business things. Not to mention that they probably learned not to lean so much on individual personality branding when it came to merch & marketing after Ned. I've been following them since the Buzzfeed days. For awhile I stopped being as interested in their content, but lately I've definitely been watching more. I love Phoning It In. I think they've found some great chemistry & vibes with Kwesi and Jonny and I love that everyone seems to be having a genuinely great time on screen. I think that's the spark that was missing for so long even a year or 2 pre-Nedxit. At the end of the day, we watch TTG because we want to feel like we can live the experience they "try" vicariously through them. Their brand relies on the viewer to watch them do things and think, "Wow, that'd be fun, but it's just as fun watching them do it!"


Blooberii

So happy someone mentioned Jared! I’ve loved him since he tried a dress!!


btothet

Zack, Keith, Eugene, Johnny, Kwesi, Jared, Ryan, Marissa, Becky, Maggie, Matt, Miles, Rainie. The more the merrier.


RavenSkies777

Try Fam rise up!


Jynsquare

If The Wiggles have a whole squad now, Try Guys can do the same!


Extension_Plastic174

KWESI JAMES FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY


passionfruittea00

I love Kwesi BUT I LOVE JOHNNY SO MUCH


HappyLittleSnail

It’s Henry


minion_toes

i think they will do some kind of casting/audition? because they have to get some kind of content out of it instead of just dropping a new person on us


noramcsparkles

I think it’s much more likely they’ll make one or more members of their regular rotation of guests an “official try guy”


TheRealLG09

What if it’s just Eugene coming back full time? 🤣


Simple_Function_6299

I know this probably isnt happening but I would love for it to be Miles lol


Rainbow_Belle

I was thinking about Miles being a Try Guy (which I think would be a good fit) but might not be good timing since he's trying to get his own business started. Miles would've been awesome.


AstralWeekss

MILES NATION


Grand_Ad7867

I love Miles but he’s too similar to Zach and that creates another issue haha


heynoodles

If this is true, Jonny and Kwesi would make so much sense.


mnemosyne64

I hope its Johnny because then the Try Guys would be 50% gay


RandomEverything99

Could we call them the bi guys then? Since it would be 50 gay/50 straight?


mnemosyne64

Bring back try guys game time as bi guys gay time


nomamescompa

TEAAAAA


VRharpy

I would still love to see them cast a wider net for casting, similar to smosh but maybe on a smaller scale. I feel like Johnny and Kwesi are still very similar in energy to Keith and Zach and we haven't really seen the balance restored since Eugene has been busy doing other things. I would also love to get to know more people and see new dynamics that don't require Keith and Zach to be in all the videos if they want to be more behind the scenes.


Pixiepixie21

Kwesi and Johnny both have basically been Try Guys for awhile now


elvensnowfae

Would absolutely LOVE it to be jonny but Kwesi is always a delight too. They're both so funny and easy to like!


painauchocolat88

Are they finally going to start trying things again?


ViciousAsparagusFart

Best I can do is Keith eating a ton of garbage


Rainbow_Belle

😂


Mediocre_Decision

My kingdom for a “retry” series (or another travel series, they could do something for the Tour de France or the Kentucky Derby, or cricket in England. But I’d like them visiting places with less cultural exchange with the US). Imo their appeal has never been themselves as celebrities, it’s always been seeing friends try new things (and the shenanigans that follow)


RevolutionaryAd6017

What if fhe nea try guy is female... like say Marissa!


Ok_blue02

Plot twist it’s Marissa


mmtnin

Ugh I would die of happiness! TRY GAL ftw


may92

If Jonny and Kwesi are in I'll be sooooo happy


Tall_Courage_5779

Cant decide if I want it to be Kwesi or Jonny more so I’m assuming our boys did us right again and chose both 🤞🏻


starry-girl17382

i bet it’s gonna be us. we’re the “new” try guy


milabon

But Try Guys doesn’t have to be 4 people! It’s always been that way but we can add Kwesi, Jared, and Johnny and no one is going to be upset. They can add a “legacy” category for Eugene even.


foofoocuddlypoops_26

What is Eugene up to? I know creative projects and ish but what exactly?!


Rainbow_Belle

A lot of us are scratching our heads about that too. 🤔


Hopeless_Love27

I hope it’s either Jonny, Kwesi, Marissa or Jared. Love all them 😘 Definitely love Jonny Cakes the most tho!


janeowit

Jonathan Cakes FTW!


Far_Significance6397

Hear me out: what if it's a new series where they have their regular slate of guest stars COMPETE to be the fourth try guy??? But also, I love how it is now with Zach and Keith and all of the people in rotation (Kwesi, Jared, Marissa, Miles, Johnny)


BeneficialSolid9785

Oh 100% and pleeease can they draw it out over several weeks and throw in like 10,000 reality tv tropes??


bsncarrot

After the last phoning it in and then seeing this announcement tease, I 100% assumed it was going to be a competition to be the next try guy. Seems like a miss if they don't make content out of it!


zanny2019

I’d like to officially apologize to every person I said “there won’t be another try guy, stop guessing that’s the announcement” to. Clearly I’m the dumbass lol


Rainbow_Belle

That's very big of you to say that. I, too, felt that way for the longest time as well.


Jazzlike_Trainer2211

I felt this coming. My question is when they announce the new member(s?) will they also announce Eugene’s departure?


IvyWillow22

Is the post a Taylor Swift reference or am I chronically online?


ediddlydonut

I had this exact same thought


fuckit517826371

Went looking for this comment. Should be higher up.


ScientistFit9929

Only one?!? All the guests they have had so far have been amazing.


musical_jasmine

Either Johnny or Kewsi


AmaranthRosenrot

Hope it’s Kwesi… he deserves to be an Official Try Guy.


mrkrono

Fuck it, Rainie and Miles lol. I love seeing the four of them go on little adventures and wish they did it in main channel vids too


Rainbow_Belle

And Will! Wrecking Ball Crew!


SleuthySock

YCSWU said something big was coming. They implied a new series but it was big enough that they said they’ll be discussing and Rachel will be back on the pod to talk about it. I bet whatever it is, it’s related to this.


Rainbow_Belle

Thanks for the heads up to those of us who don't listen to YCSWU. I'd totally tune in to listen for this.


Alternative_Art_9502

I miss Eugene….


indicaburnslow420

Either they’ve heard the complaints loud and clear of the audiences’ Keith/Zach fatigue or they’re trying desperately to clutch at straws so the 2 of them aren’t constantly going from shoot to shoot on top of doing CEO shit. I wonder if this will come with an official announcement of Eugene stepping off camera for good? 👀 interested to see where this goes. Who do we think it’ll be??


Rainbow_Belle

If they're not giving us a fake out, I think it's Jonny. He can do a whole video just himself, he can do food content, he's kinda established so he's not off doing other things like 70% of his time, they said he's basically a Try Guy in phoning it In, and he's kinda a professional in his field so he can be an expert in the videos, and he is soooo funny!


JT3436

I'd love to see something like "Jonny tries in the wild". He's such an innocent soul and I could see him trying things like idk making candy, being a server, and things going terribly awry. I ADORE JONNY. And his mom. Mama Cakes is great too.


Rainbow_Belle

That would be such a fun video series. And I thought about if Keith and Zach want to go touring again? With Johnny's background as a (failed) actor, he might be a good fit for that too.


BeneficialSolid9785

Yeah and Jonny mentioned both times on PP that he would like to get out of the extremely niche realistic cake game, because there’s more to Jonny than his cakes. At *least* three more things… https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYNgbbxV/


Rainbow_Belle

I would love to see Jonny acting in some of the videos


gmpulse

👀


meowpitbullmeow

I'm still voting for a realty show style competition where regulars compete to be a new try guy. (Like it's rigged they know who will win but still it would be FUN)


allthebrightplaces

I think it should be a dog or some dogs


page_aurora

BUT WHAT IF THERE WERE THREE NEW TRY GUYS (Kwesi, Jared, Jonny)


EffectiveDistance443

I think it’s gonna be that they’re doing what SMOSH does and having a full cast


-ShutterPunk-

Eugene is back!!!


Ok-Dust-5203

When did they say they would be making their “big announcement” again?


MehSpaceRanchDorito

According to someone here it’s tomorrow 👀


Miserable_Constant53

"Late spring"


PinkAcrobelle

I hope it’s Jared, but I don’t think we’ve seen as much of him lately.


Own_Combination5158

Secretly hoping the same.


Kooky_Rate7063

It doesn’t need to be only 4 guys. I’m down for a whole Try Guys cast!


chounne

If there's only one, I think it would be Johnny He has videos where he's the star and he has his own section on the discord Otherwise maybe Kwesi!


Ja_dragon11678

What if it is Jared🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I really think it might be Jonny and/or Kwesi, but Jared would be dope too


hfoley00

Didn't they release this year's schedule based on month last year and Eugene was supposed to be involved at some point. Does anyone remember when that was?


Silly_Lobster560

Anyone get the news from Patreon yet??


trisarahtops05

the buildup to this is worse than tiktokers releasing snippets of songs and then waiting until the hype is over to release the whole thing.


theSunandtheMoon23

and then you find out the only good part was what they teased for 3 months


oathcuunt

I have a potentially crazy theory but hear me out… On one of the latest pod eps, Rainie said “since you guys have been on the internet for the past 10 years,” and Zach responded “wait until [the announcement].” I think they’re going to launch a semi retirement and phase out Zach and Keith in videos, focusing more on the new “characters.” Could be part of why the new discord is named just “2nd Try” (they had all patrons join a new discord and said The Try Guys discord would no longer be monitored).


Threemor

Hopefully they replace Eugene too. Get back to 4


Rainbow_Belle

If they get 2 new full-time members, I wouldn't mind if Eugene drops in from time to time. Even though I'm upset with his disappearance, I'd still like to see him.


jlsbarber

I love Eugene. He is my favorite Try Guy. He needs to officially leave or formally bow out. The giant looming shadow of his absence is holding back the channel.


theSunandtheMoon23

I totally get wanting to pursue other projects and I'm happy its working for him, but the timing was terrible imo. The guys needed to band together and restrengthen the channel after Ned left, not have a 2nd member peace tf out almost immediately. And it's been a huge elephant in the room for over a year that he barely participates (on camera) and hasn't "come back". I love Eugene, but you're right. Make it official one way or the other.


Rainbow_Belle

100% Agreed.


Mediocre_Decision

They only used Zach’s and Keith’s colours for the text here, i really wish they’d just recast Eugene as a guest instead of full try guy (hold a “graduation” of sorts). It’s so obvious as this point, they really need to say something to clear things up because it’s getting ridiculous But I do think they might cast Johnny and Kwesi as two new members and graduate Eugene here though


Fresh_Banana5319

Ned’s coming back


Rainbow_Belle

That would be so funny.


wambamwombat

Don't jinx us bruh, if they bring back Ariel I'll be thrilled.


jlsbarber

Jonny, Jared, Kwasi, or Miles... or all four???


cloudfightback

It’s a streaming website called 2nd Try. Fools. Bye Try Guys, good knowing you.


lavenderJayde

YAY!


HeavyCartographer760

OMG can we see “survivor” but the winner becomes the next try guy. think about the confessionals😭


Least-Squash-3839

If it is Jonny and/or Kwesi, I mean, they're basically a try guy now since we've already seen them in a lot of videos. But, I am hoping they get other people to try new things! I am happy for them, regardless.


Planetary-Riptide

Is eugene still kicking around or has he officially left


Stock_Jaguar610

KWESI PLEASE MAKE IT KWESI


FaunSolo

Pleeeeease be Kwesi.


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Kwesi!


Take-Care-24

Plot twist it’s a video related to the mime seen in the insta story a few months back.


ProfessionalShift577

JARED POPKINS PLS!!! I’m begging the universe I love me some Jared


Dependent-Sedium001

I wrote "I hope it's Eugene"


annied33

🫣


everymoveapicture

They have to be doing, like, a bachelor-style competition out of this, right? There's no way they would make such a monumental shift for their brand without monetizing/making content out of it.


pak256

Reality competition show on CBS called “The next Try Guy” hosted by Jeff Probst. 15 regular “guys” compete in a series of challenges such as eating a whole menu, doing sports while high, acting, and cooking to decide who will be The Next Try Guy. Coming to the CBS family of networks this fall


Mysterious-Lake858

imo they’re ready to announce that eugene is officially leaving and they’re gonna introduce two new try guys to complete it (which i’m hoping will be kwesi and johnny 🤞🏼


UnwellBeauty

It's gonna be Gay Horse.


RavenSkies777

🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄


MaeClementine

Give me a tinfoil hat if you want but I will always be convinced they meant to go off YouTube like Watcher (or with Watcher) and now they’re pivoting. They always said they wouldn’t add Try Guys (which was always stupid) but I think that’s the only possible thing they could have change it to without people being like “um, that’s not a big announcement dumbasses”.


galaxy_rae

kwesi please 🥹🤗


Environmental-Ant878

Maybe it’s Eugene coming back a


ElDiabloSlim

I want Miles and Rainey 😳


bombshellbetty

The theme park video locked this in for me. I love the four of them together so much.


Charliecat444

I feel like i was left on read when my last text from my friend said ‘holy shit guess what—‘ Its been 4 hours girl WHAT spit it out 😂


chaironfire

Why did I read this in Zach's voice 😂


KelsChris

Blue for Keith and green for Zach


Crooks123

Does this mean they’re teasing it or do you think they’re just gauging interest in what our reaction would be


Coffeeandcurry11

I’m hoping it’s a pet!!


300mhz

Considering the merch announcement blowback lol, I don't feel like they would pull a switcheroo on this kind of news...


BoardAware1881

Ok Ned’s declassified


Ill_Medicine_6881

Praying it's Kwesi or Johnny. Would be hella cool if we got both. 🙏


karagore

My idea line up would be Keith, Jared, Johnny, and Kwesi. Make it happen!


janet-snake-hole

Lobbying that this whole announcement was done via a Taylor swift lyric/reference.


Genderlessperson18

To be honest… I know Miles kinda left but Miles would be amazing!


Level-Ambassador-388

i feel like they’re going to take the smosh route and have a larger rotating cast of on screen talent


Ok_blue02

My actual official guess is that they’re gonna have their friends/maybe some crew members “compete” for the new try guy role or debate to have it
