Comedian Ned Fulmer, an original member of the comedy group “Try Guys,” a YouTube channel boasting over 7 million subscribers where members try anything, has received the boot from his colleagues after being caught cheating on his wife of 10 years, Ariel Fulmer.
In a now-deleted Reddit post, user hamilton390 uploaded a picture of Fulmer and his video producer Alexandria Herring allegedly kissing at a bar in New York City.
I always thought Eugene will be the first one out from Try Guys because he's been in less videos and want to pursuing bigger things. I did not expect THIS. https://t.co/Zaxubh048l

The show’s members, composed of Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, Eugene Lee Yang, and now-shunned member Fulmer, worked for Buzzfeed until 2014 as video producers, later giving their own production company, “2nd Try” a go in the comedy world.
What strikes fans most about Ned Fulmer’s actions is his current reputation on the show as the “Wife Guy.” His wife appeared in some of Try Guy’s episodes, and the internet is now saying he is not so different from other comedians like John Mulaney, who claim to love their wives yet still cheat.

making their careers off of loving their wives and then cheating on them
Though this is not all from Twitter, as users, some of themselves past Buzzfeed employees, have a lot to say on the matter:

Ok I knew what an Adam Levine was. Even knew what a Harry Styles was. I have no idea wtf a Ned from Try Guys is & I will take no steps in fixing that. Pls do not attempt to inform me either. I followed two (2) white ppl scandals this month. Thats enough. We'll try again October

As for Fulmer, fans weren’t exactly happy with his half-assed attempt at explaining that his affair with Herring, who has a fiancé, was a “consensual workplace relationship.”

However, one thing is for sure - fans agree this just wasn’t the move for the now-unfollowed-by-the-remaining-Try-Guys-on-social-media ex-member, and they’d be okay if he had never given cheating a try.
They’re called The Try Guys, T. Four guys that would make videos of themselves trying all sorts of shit. Then one of them decided to give cheating on his wife a try. Now there’s only three of ‘em. pic.twitter.com/fJXhNqDZRt
