Edward Gallo Fulmer was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on June 11, 1987.

That same year, The Try Guys branched out from under the BuzzFeed umbrella.
In 2020, Ned Fulmer and his wife Ariel announced that their second baby was due in November 2020.
The Try Guys
In 2014, four co-workers at BuzzFeed got together with an idea: to document themselves on video trying funny—or downright stupid—stuff.
They also wanted to get their friends in on the gig, too.
The latter part of the plan didn’t work—nobody they knew wanted to get involved with the group’s reckless ideas.
As the videos gained a following, though, the guys persevered on their own.
Zach Kornfeld, one of the original four, said later that it “came down to who was willing to show their butts.”
One of the Try Guys’ first forays was Guys Try Ladies’ Underwear for the First Time.
Produced under the BuzzFeed umbrella, the video went viral, amassing millions of social media reactions and views.
Catapulted into the limelight, The Try Guys released their own show—Squad Wars—on YouTube’s premium Red subscription service.

They also won the audience choice award for Show of the Year.
Still riding the wave of fast success, the group made the move from BuzzFeed to its own company in June 2018.
