The Try Guys‘ bonkers cooking competition “Phoning It In” has rounded out its slate of judges, cast members and contestants for Season 4. The show premiered its fourth installment on the independent streamer 2nd Try TV on May 6 before it rolls onto YouTube starting May 30.
Chris Ying, Justin Pichetrungsi, Elizabeth Falkner, Jordan Myrick, Jimmy Wong, Jen Yee, Nick Schreiber and Rie McClenny have joined the series as judges. Melissa King and Kat Turner are contestants.
The competition locks elite chefs out of the kitchen, instead forcing them to coach unqualified comedians from afar, guiding them only via telephone to bring their culinary visions to the plate. Previously announced chefs and judges this season include: Kristen Kish, Josh Scherer, Jonny Manganello, Mitzi Reyes and Monique Chan.
The contestants include comedians from the TryCast universe: Ash Perez, Ryan Garcia, Jared Popkin, Kwesi James, Ryann Graham, Joyce Louis-Jean and Rainie Toll. Previously announced contestants include Try Guys Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld, as well as Miles Bonsignore and “Smosh’s” Angela Giarratana.
“We’re making the biggest food competition show on YouTube with the biggest chefs in the world, and it’s been awesome to step our game up every season,” said Kornfeld and Habersberger in a statement.
After growing a massive following on YouTube, the Try Guys launched their own paid streaming service in 2024, called 2nd Try. The ad-free service hit the market with other shows including “Trolley Problems,” “Escape the Kitchen,” “Smoke Show,” “Eat the Menu,” “After the Menu” and “Without a Recipe.”
