40 free The Try Guys trivia questions with answers — pop culture quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The Try Guys turned a simple idea into one of YouTube's most durable comedy brands: four friends who will try almost anything on camera, however embarrassing, and talk honestly about how it went. Since 2014 Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, Eugene Lee Yang and Ned Fulmer have squeezed into unfamiliar outfits, taken on experts at their own specialities, baked blind and built a company of their own. This quiz covers the whole story: the early viral videos, the series each member fronts, the tours and television projects, the partners and newer cast members, and the famous guests who have dropped by. Expect questions on Keith's eating marathons, Zach's business ventures, Eugene's work away from the channel and Ned's life before YouTube. It is written for fans who have followed the channel for years, but many of the questions can be worked out by anyone who has watched a handful of videos. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
