Commercial Kings

Rhett James McLaughlin (born October 11, 1977) and Charles Lincoln "Link" Neal III (born June 1, 1978) are an American comedy duo. Self-styled as "Internetainers", they are known for creating and hosting the YouTube series ''Good Mythical Morning''. Their other notable projects include comedic songs and sketches, their IFC series ''Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings'', their YouTube Premium series '' Rhett & Link's Buddy System'', their podcast '' Ear Biscuits,'' their YouTube series ''Wonderhole'', and their novel ''The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek''.

As social media influencers with numerous channels, they have a combined total of over 30 million subscribers, as the second most influential content creators in 2024 according to ''Rolling Stone''.

Early life and career

Rhett and Link met on September 4, 1984, the date they started first grade at Buies Creek Elementary School in Buies Creek, Harnett County, North Carolina. They subsequently wrote a song and made a documentary about this meeting: '' Looking for Ms. Locklear.'' In an interview on ''The Tonight Show'', they stated that they had to stay in during recess because both of them had written swear words on their desks. They were given coloring books to fill out with mythical creatures (such as unicorns), hence their YouTube channel name, Good Mythical Morning.

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. 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. Rhett and Link were both members of a Christian punk rock band as teenagers known as "The Wax Paper Dogz".

In 1996, they started college and were roommates at North Carolina State University, where Link studied industrial engineering and Rhett studied civil engineering. Rhett graduated ''magna cum laude'' in December 2000, and Link graduated ''summa cum laude'' in May 2001. They worked in their respective fields for a time, Link at IBM and Rhett at Black & Veatch. They also made videos and performed comedy sketches for a religious organization, Cru. During their time at Cru, they began developing their signature comedy style as a duo, subsequently deciding to become full-time entertainers.

Rhett & Link quit their jobs as engineers soon after graduating from college to shift their focus to their Christian evangelism with Cru. They made comedic videos for meetings and conferences after being inspired by the host at the first weekly Cru meeting they attended as freshmen at North Carolina State University.Archived a
