The two began to joke together, and Rhett had his only real fight ever in the third grade, when he defended Link against a bully. When they were 14, Rhett and Link wrote the “Gutless Wonders” screenplay, and later tried to make it into a movie, but gave up after several scenes.

They went to the same high school where they made a short parody film about Sophocies’ tragedy ‘Oedipus Rex’. The two friends were also interested in music and as very religious Christians were members of the Christian rock band The Wax Paper Dogz.

They both enrolled at North Carolina State University in 1996 and were roommates there, Rhett majoring in civil engineering and Link industrial engineering.

After graduating in 2000 (2001 for Link) they started working in their field of study, occasionally producing videos and comedy skits, before deciding to quit their jobs and focus on their YouTube career, becoming some known as ‘internet users’ among teenagers.

Career as a YouTuber

Shortly after leaving college, Rhett and Link joined the interdenominational Christian parachurch organization Cru, making comedy videos for them before switching to their YouTube channel.

They launched their career on YouTube with the channel “Rhett & Link”, which is currently subscribed by over five million people and has nearly 900 million views of all their videos combined.

Their second channel – “Good Mythical Morning” – was created on September 17, 2008 and is currently subscribed by over 16.4 million people, while garnering over 6.4 billion views of all their videos combined. The most popular video on their channel – “Amazing Game Show Cheaters” – has been viewed nearly 30 million times since its upload on April 5, 2016. Just a year after launching their channel, business news website “Business Insider” ranked Rhett and Link #22 on their list of the 25 Most Creative People in Advertising.

The duo’s third channel – “Good Mythical More” – was launched on December 14, 2013 and has nearly four million subscribers and more than 900 million views of their videos.

The most popular video on this channel, “Eating Surströmming with PewDiePie”, has been viewed more than nine million times as of October 8, 2014. In the same year, their main channel “Rhett & Link” was ranked 35th in “New Media Rockstar” magazine’s list of 100 top channels.

The boys’ fourth channel was founded on January 23, 2014 as “This is Mythical” before being rebranded as “Mythical”, while now known as “Mythical Kitchen”; it has more than 1.3 million subscribers and about 54 million views of all their videos combined. Their fifth channel “Ear Biscuits” is just for their podcast of the same name – it launched on May 20, 2014 and has approximately 230 subscribers and almost 18 million views of all their videos.

The duo is also popular for hosting their own morning talk show, initially “Good Morning Chia Lincoln” from January 3, 2011 to February 28, 2011, then replaced by “Good Mythical Morning”. It ran for three seasons before being replaced by “The Mythical Show,” which received the International Academy of Web Television Award for Best Variety Series in January 2013. Two of their shows that followed were “Taste Test” and “Will It”, before deciding to refocus on their show “Good Mythical Morning”.

Rhett and Link also published their book “Rhett & Link’s Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity and Tomfoolery” on October 10, 2017, while their second book “The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek” followed on October 29, 2019.

They currently run their own company, Mythical Entertainment, which launched in 2009 under the name Rhett & Link, Inc. and was renamed in 2017.

Awards & Accolades

Rhett and Link have been nominated for more than 20 awards and won their first Webby Award for Best Editing in 2011. They won an IAWTV Award for Best Variety Series and an LA Web Award for Funniest YouTube Video in 2013, followed by a Webby Award for Comedy Individual Short of Episode – People’s Voice in 2014.

They won three Webby Awards in 2015, followed by a Streamy Award for Nonfiction the same year. In 2016 they won two Shorty Awards and two Webby Awards, and in 2017 they won a Chris Greicius Celebrity Award on Make-A-Wish.

Their last two wins were in 2019: a Webby Award for Best Host (Podcasts) and a Streamy Award for Show of the Year.

Love life and relationships

Rhett met Jessie Lane while they were both in college, and after being together for three years, they married in 2001 in a small ceremony attended by only their closest friends and family. Jessie gave birth to their two boys Locke and Shepherd, and because they are both huge animal lovers, the family welcomed their adopted Maltipoo dog Lola, whom they brought from Wylder’s Holistic Pet Center and Rescue. Rhett keeps his love life out of the media, and Jessie appears only occasionally in Rhett’s videos and podcasts.

There were a lot of rumors about Rhett’s marriage and whether or not things are going well for keeping his wife out of the spotlight – some believe the two aren’t as close anymore because of Rhett’s job, which is almost all of his time.

Health, hobbies and other interests

Rhett has had several health problems, suffered from severe back pain due to several ruptured intervertebral discs, and has been doing stretches every morning for over five years that help relieve the pain. Both his sons suffer from psoriasis and seizures, something they inherited from Rhett who had the same when he was a child.

Rhett is a fan of things made of wood and when people bring him gifts, it is almost always something made of wood. He considers himself a crybaby and likes to watch Pixar and Disney movies like “How To Train Your Dragon” and “Despicable Me”, usually crying at the end of the movies. He likes to watch superhero movies – his favorite character is the Hawk man, and some of his favorite actors and actresses are Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp and Julia Roberts.

Appearance and power

Rhett is 42 years old. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, is 2.01 m tall and weighs about 90 kg. As of May 2020, his assets is estimated at over $16 million.
