As of November 2026, Johnnie Guilbert is still posting on all of his channels and releasing music, and we found no report in an accepted outlet of anything that ended his work. He posted WE SURVIVED UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HAUNTED HOUSES on October 30, 2026, uploads near-daily to JohnnieGuilbertLive, and premiered the music video for his single Cemetery Romance on October 11, 2026, about 150,000 views a month later. A second single, Dying On The Dance Floor, came out on October 30, 2026, per Apple Music.

Johnnie Guilbert and Jake Webber still make videos together as of November 2026, after Johnnie posted a video titled Why I Moved Out on March 27, 2025, now at about 613,000 views. Its description does not give a reason, and we found no written statement from either of them, or report in an accepted outlet, describing a falling out, so we do not summarize one. What is public since: Johnnie posted Jake And Johnnie Play Minecraft on August 30, 2026, and Jake’s we SURVIVED Halloween Horror Nights on November 5, 2026 tells viewers to follow Johnnie. They release music as a pair, including “Ecstasy” in February 2024, per Apple Music, and they sat for interviews together, such as the Just Trish podcast on February 22, 2024. Jake’s side is in his entry.

Johnnie later criticized him in public, in a video on January 19, 2022 and in The Rise And Fall Of BRYAN STARS on January 3, 2023, a documentary-style video credited to FXK Nate that has about 1.57 million views. We found no accepted outlet reporting the claims made in those videos, so we do not repeat them here.

Johnnie Guilbert dated YouTuber Alex Dorame until they split in 2019, per Famous Birthdays, and the two ran a shared channel, Our World Away, with uploads such as BOYFRIEND DYES MY HAIR.

The search likely mixes him up with Johnny Gilbert, the longtime announcer of Jeopardy!, a role Fox News reported in June 2021 he had held since 1984; the two are not connected. Johnnie does play his own spin games: on March 3, 2026 his live channel posted We Made a Wheel of Pain…Big Mistake, a stream with Jake Webber where chat picked the punishments, and on July 6, 2026 his main channel posted I Was On An EMO Game Show…, a guest spot with Poppies Studios.

Our read
Ames Create does not work with Johnnie Guilbert. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Simple premises with a running cast. Johnnie takes a challenge, a fast food menu tried top to bottom, 24 hours handcuffed to roommates, a haunted house, and the video is the reaction, usually with Jake Webber, his friend Barry or his girlfriend Grace Van Dien in frame. On stream the same crew plays games and spins wheels for hours, cut down into daily uploads on JohnnieGuilbertLive.
Why it travels. His biggest numbers come when circles overlap: Sam and Colby’s June 2024 ghost hunt with him and Jake sits near 18.6 million views, and the Just Trish episode with Jake passed 1.89 million. TikTok is now his largest platform at about 3.9 million followers, and search keeps returning to the people around him: Jake, Grace, Alex Dorame and BryanStars.
Brand fit. He already runs paid reads, including Zocdoc in a March 2026 upload, and sells through Hot Topic, Amazon, Youtooz and his own jewelry line, so the path is proven. Halloween and horror attractions, fast food, alt fashion, music gear and gaming all suit the lane. Deals go through the night.co business email on his channel.
