Rhett & Link are an American comedy duo consisting of Rhett McLaughlin (born October 11, 1977) and Link Neal (born June 1, 1978). Self-styled as "Internetainers" (portmanteau of "Internet" and "entertainers"), they are known for creating and hosting Good Mythical Morning.[2] Their other notable projects include comedic songs and sketches, Independent Film Channel series Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings,[3] and their YouTube Premium series Rhett and Link's Buddy System (Season 1 and Season 2).

In their 2008 documentary, Looking for Ms. Locklear, they chronicled their search for the first grade teacher in whose class they met for the first time.[4]

Personal lives

Rhett & Link met on September 4, 1984, the exact date they started school in Harnett County at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, North Carolina, where they attended first grade, a meeting about which they have subsequently written a song and made a documentary: Looking For Ms. Locklear. In an interview on The Tonight Show, they state that they stayed in during recess because both of them had written swear words on their desks. They stayed in and colored in mythical creatures such as a unicorn, hence their YouTube channel name, Good Mythical Morning.[5]

At age fourteen, they wrote a screenplay entitled Gutless Wonders and began shooting a film based on it. They shot only a couple of scenes, and the film was never finished.[6] This screenplay ultimately was read in multiple episodes of Good Mythical Morning. In high school they shot a 25-minute film-parody on the tragedy of Oedipus Rex. Rhett was Oedipus, and Link was his father's servant.[7] Rhett & Link were both members of a punk rock band as teenagers known as "The Wax Paper Dogz" and have played at an Independence Day festival.

Later, they were roommates at NC State, where Link studied industrial engineering and Rhett studied civil engineering.[6] They earned degrees and worked in their respective fields for a time. Link briefly worked at IBM, while Rhett worked at Black & Veatch.[8] They also made videos for a religious organization, Cru.[6]

Both men now reside in Los Angeles, California, where together they run a production company named Mythical Entertainment, located in Burbank. Responding to a fan question in 2010, Rhett stated that, while they are both Christian, their content is not religious.[9]

YouTube career

Rhett & Link quit their jobs as engineers soon after graduating from college to shift their focus to their YouTube channel.[10][11]

In 2009, Rhett & Link were named No. 22 on Business Insider's Top 25 Most Creative People in Advertising List.[12] In September of the same year, they joined the Collective, a media company in Los Angeles.[13]

In 2014, the Rhett & Link YouTube Channel was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at No. 35.[14]

Channels

The duo run a number of YouTube channels including Good Mythical Morning, which has 5.3 billion views and over 15.5 million subscribers as of June 2019[15] The namesake show, Good Mythical Morning, is a talk show airing on weekdays at 6:00 am EST.[16][17] With over 15.6 million subscribers and over 750 million views as of June 2019, a third channel called Good Mythical MORE airs directly after Good Mythical Morning and is described as the "show after the show".[18] Their fourth channel, entitled "Mythical" (formerly This is Mythical), featured bonus and behind the scenes videos, but has most recently been used for videos produced by and starring their crew. It has over 728,000 subscribers, and over 70 million views as of June 2019.[19] Their fifth channel is for their weekly podcast called Ear Biscuits. It was originally presented on the GMM channel, but was transferred to this channel on January 7, 2019.[20][21] It has over 91,000 subscribers and more than 3 million views.[22]

As of June 2019, the most watched videos on the Rhett & Link channel are "My OCD (Song)" with over 49 million views, followed by "Epic Rap Battle: Nerd vs. Geek" with over 44 million views, and "I'm On Vacation (Song)" with over 29 million views.[23] The most watched videos on the Good Mythical Morning channel are "Eating a Scorpion – Bug War Challenge" with over 27 million views, "Amazing Game Show Cheaters," also with over 27 million views and "World's Hottest Pepper Challenge – Carolina Reaper" with over 26 million views.[24]

Good Mythical Morning (GMM)

On January 3, 2011,[25] the duo launched a morning talk show, "Good Morning Chia Lincoln" in their studio, located in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, with an Abraham Lincoln Chia Pet as a centerpiece, where they picked a topic, usually a personal experience or news story, and stated their opinions on it. The series ended on February 28, 2011 as a result of half of the Chia Pet dying.[26]

After the move to Los Angeles[27] and the cancellation of their TV Show, Commercial Kings, the duo launched Good Mythical Morning on January 9, 2012.[28] The series took the same format as their previous show and added a "Wheel of Mythicality", containing suggestions from fans on how they would end the show, usually with a brief improvised scene.

Good Mythical Morning ran its first three seasons ending on April 5, 2013 as the duo took a break from the daily videos to start a new show with a weekly format, The Mythical Show.[29][30] The series won the Best Variety Series at the International Academy of Web Television Awards in January 2013.[31]

The third season of GMM introduced the "Taste Test" series where the hosts guess the food in blindfolds, challenge themselves to eat something or compare a particular type of food across different brands. Some of the most popular videos in GMM from this series are the "Bug War Challenge", the "Ghost Pepper Challenge", the "Carolina Reaper Challenge" and the "Sriracha Challenge". The Season 5 of GMM brought in "Will It" series, where the hosts try and invent different varieties of a famous type of food with unusual and often increasing levels of disgusting ingredients. The first episode was aired on May 5, 2014 on Cinco De Mayo titled "Will it Taco" where they tried pine needles, baby shampoo and pork blood tacos. The series was also featured in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with episodes of "Will it Tea,"[32] "Will It S'more,",[33] "Will it Hummus,",[34] "Will It Hot Dog."[35]

After the end of The Mythical Show on July 11, 2013, the duo continued with the Good Mythical Morning series, now with an addition to the main GMM episode-Good Mythical More ("the show after the show") uploaded simultaneously to a separate channel in addition to their GMM channel. The 'Good Mythical More' episodes held on to their 'improvised on the spot' nature from earlier season of GMM while the main episodes became more and more structured.[citation needed] Season 6 of Good Mythical Morning premiered on July 14, 2014 with a new introduction sequence with animation by Digital Twigs and music by Pomplamoose.[36] Several notable personalities, including PewDiePie, Mayim Bialik, Shay Mitchell, Bill Hader, Amy Schumer[37] and Daniel Radcliffe[38][39] have been guests on the show.

The 1000th episode of Good Mythical Morning was uploaded on the morning of October 13, 2016 (4 years, 9 months, and 4 days after the first episode aired on January 9, 2012). The video was titled "1000th Episode Celebration Special" and has received 2.8 million views as of January 2019. On October 19, the first episode of YouTube Red original show Rhett and Link's Buddy System aired on the Good Mythical Morning channel.

The Mythical Show

On April 25, 2013, Rhett & Link released the first episode of The Mythical Show on their second channel – a weekly 30-minute variety show on YouTube Thursdays at 5 pm (EST).[29] Each episode contained a multitude of shorter videos starring Rhett & Link with other actors and YouTube personalities as guests, including Tony Hale, Jill Wagner, Kat Von D, Smosh, Grace Helbig, Shay Carl, the Fine Brothers, Tessa Violet, Hannah Hart, Paul Scheer, Key & Peele, Miranda Sings, KassemG. The duo also published individual segments of The Mythical Show as standalone videos on their main channel. The first season of The Mythical Show ended July 11, 2013 after 12 episodes.

They won the 2014 People's Choice Webby Award for individual comedy short or episode for their "Breaking Bad: The Middle School Musical" video that was a part of The Mythical Show's "Middle School Musicals" segments.[40]

This Is Mythical

On March 20, 2017, their company, Mythical Entertainment, announced their new channel, This Is Mythical. The channel is a revamp of their EXTRAs channel, and it is run by the Mythical Crew. It contains several series such as: "This Is Mythical" videos, which are general vlogs; "Mythicalicious," a food series with varying themes; the return of "Ear Biscuits," Rhett & Link's podcast; "Ten Feet Tall", a series run by Mythical Entertainment crew members Mike Criscimagna and Alex Punch; and "GMM Recuts," a revamp of shorts formerly part of a playlist called "Gum Swallower's Digest," that contain cuts and edits of scenes from Good Mythical Morning, and are created by John Warder. In March 2018, the channel was rebranded with its new name simply being “Mythical”. The channel is currently inactive as a result of Ear Biscuits being moved to the Good Mythical Morning channel (and then moving to its own channel on January 7, 2019) and has changed its name to Mythical on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.

Acquisition of Smosh

On February 22, 2019 it was revealed that Rhett and Link had acquired the Smosh brand (Smosh, Smosh Games, Smosh Pit & ElSmosh) after the channel's former parent company, Defy Media, had gone into liquidation.[41] Ian Hecox, the co-founder of Smosh, explained that under the Mythical Entertainment banner, the channel would have full creative freedom and launch its own podcast, known as the SmoshCast.[42]

Notable videos and guest appearances

Rhett has portrayed and rapped as American aviator Wilbur Wright (left), Italian sculptor Donatello (center) and American explorer William Clark (right) for Epic Rap Battles of History.

Their first viral video was "Wolfpack or Tarheels?" uploaded on Rhett's personal YouTube channel in 2006 (no longer active) of his 3-year-old son Locke McLaughlin crying over the loss of the NC State Wolfpack and their rivalry with the North Carolina Tar Heels. YouTube wanted to feature this video on the home page but the duo asked to have one of their songs featured instead as they wanted to be known by their comedic work and not a viral video.[43] After the video was removed for unknown reasons,[44] the duo uploaded it to their channel, Rhett & Link, where it currently has more than 600 thousand views.

After being featured on YouTube's homepage and the subsequent release of "The Facebook Song" (their most viewed video for several years), Rhett & Link established a presence on the web.

In September 2012 Rhett & Link uploaded a video of them singing "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie, recording over 11 hours of footage starting at 7:25 pm ET on the Santa Monica Pier and ending the all-night recording at 6:30 am on Mt. Wilson.[45][46][47][48]

Link has portrayed and rapped as American aviator Orville Wright (left), Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci (center) and American explorer Meriwether Lewis (right) for Epic Rap Battles of History.

YouTube Rewind videos have included Rhett & Link since 2012.

Rhett & Link have been guests in three "Epic Rap Battles of History". On February 16, 2012, the duo was featured in a Season 2 episode of the series, playing the Wright brothers, battling the Mario Brothers.[52] On July 14, 2014, Rhett & Link, along with Smosh, appeared in the season 3 finale of the series, in which they played two of the four Renaissance artists battling against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[53] Link played the role of Leonardo da Vinci and Rhett the role of Donatello.

Rhett & Link's first sponsored video, "Cornhole Song", was made for AJJ Cornhole in 2007, and since then the duo have integrated other small brands like Smule, with "I am a Thoughtful Guy" and iRESQ.[57][58] Many larger companies have since sponsored the duo's videos including Alka-Seltzer, McDonald's, Wendy's and Cadillac among others.[57]

In January 2008, they worked as web correspondents on the Sundance Film Festival for IGotShotgun.com in partnership with Cadillac. Summer of the same year they spent releasing videos for the Alka-Seltzer Great American Road Trip.

In 2009, the duo started to create free low-budget commercials for small local businesses throughout the U.S. in the web series "I Love Local Commercials", sponsored by Microbilt.[62] At first they made 4 commercials for local businesses in their home state North Carolina – TDM Autosales, Bobby Denning Furniture, and Redhouse Furniture. These videos quickly went viral on YouTube, especially the Redhouse video, with its controversial jingle "Where Black People and White People Buy Furniture".[11] The success of these commercials spurred Rhett & Link to continue creating commercials and for that they offered people across U.S. to nominate their favorite local businesses to take part in the web series. The popularity of the duo's commercials garnered the attention of major advertising publications such as Advertising Age and AdWeek, and their commercials were featured on CNN, NPR, The New York Times, Forbes, and TMZ.[11][63][64][65][66][67] A commercial for Cullman Liquidation Center won Best Local Commercial at the 2010 Ad Age Viral Video Awards.[68][69] In 2010, Rhett & Link produced a commercial for Donut Prince, George Lopez' favorite doughnut place.[70] Later they appeared in his show Lopez Tonight, where he called them "undisputed masters of bad local commercials".[71]

In 2009, Rhett & Link produced "Fast Food Folk Song" as a web commercial for Taco Bell, and in 2010 it won the Contest of Awesome for the Best Comic Music Video of 2009. The contest awarded them a trip to Los Angeles and a cameo in a Weezer music video.[74]

"T-shirt War" also won in Best Online Promotion at the Apparel Industry category at the 2010 Spirit Awards. After the success of this commercial Rhett & Link received a call from McDonald's and Coca-Cola asking them to make a TV commercial with a T-shirt War theme.
