What It Means to be the Chief Creative Officer for Rhett & Link

[@ZachHall]

I hope Stevie goes down as one of the legends of the internet. I think Rhett + Link would agree that Stevie is responsible for shaping GMM/Mythical into the behemoth of digital content its been and continues to be. Thanks Jack for having her on and thanks Stevie for being willing to let us peak behind the curtain!

[@flames2965]

She IS one of the legends of the internet. God is gonna make Stevie the CEO of something in heaven lmao

[@VineyardGHS]

Completely disagree. She is the only reason why I won't watch some episodes. I will not sit here and have liberal extremists agendas pushed on me. I do not want anything to do with her daily values. She is an evil human being who will rot in hell

stevie reaching out to josh was the best idea, Mythical Kitchen is one of the best cooking channels ive seen, to think it started from just hiring one guy

Agreed. I love Josh

[@AmusedWalrus]

Josh is a really talented cook, frankly. He has made so many great things for GMM and Mythical Kitchen. I really like their food content/food game episodes, and Josh has really helped step up their game and make things so much better by being able to cook all the cool, unique, or difficult things that just would not have been possible without someone like him in the kitchen.

[@grabble7605]

Yeah it would.

[@CaptainNamikaze]

@@grabble7605 Not in the way it is today. Rhett and Link have long confirmed how important she is to GMM and Mythical. Sure, it would probably still be here without her but it wouldn’t be the same.

[@bestieswithtesties]

@@CaptainNamikaze People watch for Rhett and Link more than anything. It is their chemistry and personalities that make them successful. As far as GMM writing goes, it's a constant up and down between being good and mediocre. Only reason their large amounts of mediocre episodes do well is because of Rhett and Link. They do all the heavy lifting.

I never knew that Stevie was responsible for so much, wow. I’m really glad this video was suggested to me because it’s so interesting and amazing to learn that gmm runs so smoothly and is so timeless really because of her mostly. She’s so talented and her mind really is something. Also, knowing she encourages people moving up through the ranks is just so great. I already really liked her, but I have so much more respect for Stevie after this.

I think Stevie is one of the coolest people ever, I seriously wish I could be like her 😅

[@Trash0000]

Glad you go for Interviewing Stevie when everyone else would interview Rhett and link. It's really easy to forget how important she is to running the operation when the viewers just see her as the background voice in the videos. I've always known she does a ton, but this showcases exactly how incredibly intelligent she is. She is clearly an absolute expert in her field.

[@jlee1522]

The audience really got to see her strengths and her personality when she was hosting LTAT (a weekly casual show called "Let's Talk About That" where Rhett and Link did no prep or had any knowledge of topics). I really wish that kept going, but totally understand it took a lot of her time. We all saw R&L grow over the years, but also with Stevie as well. It's great to see

[@louisac8160]

I'm not in the industry so I've never really understood the role of a producer but I've been a fan of GMM for the last ~8 years and at this point Stevie's voice represents the show just as much as Rhett and Link's do, for me. It's so cool to hear from her about all the work she does behind the scenes and I'm very glad she took the chance on Rhett and Link in 2013!! Mythical absolutely wouldn't be what it is now, and something that I love so much, if it wasn't for Stevie.

[@sharvo6]

I always marvel at how seemingly effortlessly Stevie is a fun but moderating influence on the show ... that is one talented woman.

[@Sweetalking23]

Stevie is truly such an inspiration. The way she talks about the people she works with really shows what an amazing human she is. Rhett and Link were right to see something special in her and we are all really lucky to have her as mythical beasts

[@ooodman]

So much admiration for Stevie and love that this video puts the spotlight on her brilliance. Really appreciate the great questions and listening to her brain being picked!

[@Kid_Ying]

The thing I love about GMM is that, once you understand what the show is, obviously Rhett and Link are the faces, but you learn to appreciate every member of the crew and just how they make it all happen. But Stevie is like the third part of R&L. I mean she's the god voice and in a lot of ways plays a mom role. But again, the whole crew is awesome, and I look forward to 6AM every day.

[@NoleFan74]

The best thing they ever did was hire Stevie. She is just as big a part of Mythical as the boys are!!

[@mglouise97]

This was such a good episode! Stevie is really the powerhouse of Mythical

[@senorbe]

I've never heard of Rhett and Link, but I'm very impressed with Stevie Wynne Levine -> she projects amazing executive skills

[@blynneda]

Stevie is the unsung hero of GMM - it was great to hear from her about what she does and how far she's come with Mythical.

[@Summergch]

Watching this and hearing how much she did and does I'm brought back to her line in the Smosh Funeral Roast of "You may recognize my ideas as either Rhett's, Link's, or Rhett and Link's" 🤣🤣 What success we see is so much based on the whole crew, but specially on Stevie's vision and how much she helped shape their content into what it is now

[@2DayShipping]

Love hearing from Stevie! I've always wondered the behind the scenes and I know she kicks ass. Cool to see her on!

[@Dodl1]

"We do dumb shit in a smart way" is the best definition I've heard yet of my kind of humor and why I consider myself a mythical beast ❤

[@schmodedo]

I think the Mythical Crew's incredible talent and drive off-camera translates very well on-camera. Even if they seem slightly (or entirely) uncomfortable sometimes, it's what makes them more personable. You can see the growth in confidence over time and know that they will work well. Trevor seems to be coming into his own lately.

[@TheBigtrev1234]

I started watching Rhett and Link content when I was 13 years old, and I'm now 27 still engaging with their content nearly every day. Stevie, Thank you so much for how you have helped create/expand such a meaningful corner of the internet !!!

This deserves so much love because it’s a fantastic discussion with great questions directed at someone who is integral to the continuing success of Mythical Entertainment. We love Stevie so thank you for this Jack.

[@ladscrimpton8590]

Stevie is definitely the "glue" of GMM, no doubt about it. She's expanded the scope of the show so much, which is critical for the ever-evolving youtube platform... games, podcasts, scripted content, cooking content, wonderhole, etc etc etc. That kind of creativity is so important for maintaining success on youtube. GMM also responds really well to the audience... I remember maybe 7-8 years ago, GMM changed the format of their content to more fast-paced shows. The audience did not like the new format, and GMM listened to their audience and responded basically right away to revise their format.

[@nikitashah675]

Wow. So amazing to hear the story from Stevie’s POV. What a story. What a company. Mythical forever!

[@mig636]

Stevie is the sole reason GMM and Rhett and Link as a whole are so popular today. Her influence on the show and content making abilities are insane. A lot of companies would benefit from adopting and observing her creative decision-making.

[@ajastoa6545]

One of the things with Stevie that really stands out is her voice (for me as a viewer). The sound of it, the vocabulary, the speed, the "calmness"; it all comes together in a way to reel you in. Without her on the set; it's very different and I doubt it would reach the same level of success. It's difficult to understand all the things she's doing for the show. The show feels "genuine", and the fact that Stevie's been part of it for so long time, shows it probably is. (I hope there's no bad blood here; I just wanted to comment: I miss Jen, gorgeous lady, made me laugh so many times. I hope she's doing great!)

[@craigmitchell8892]

Stevie is such a legend! I've been watching rhett and link since good morning chia Lincoln and its been amazing to watch it all change and evolve over the years through the people who joined their team

[@Summergch]

I'm so glad to finally have some sort of piece ABOUT Stevie and just her, because we of course know how important she is, but since she's not the big face, every time she's in an interview she's there with both R&L. So she answers some stuff or she's behind the camera laughing, but we don't get to hear just in her words how much work has been going on behind scenes. Like, I've heard them tell the story about YT "cancelling" the Mythical show and they asking her to stay even without that even though what she originally joined them for was a completely different concept and she would've been so much in her right to say "No, sorry. This is not what I wanted to do with my time and I'll go into some other project". But now we get to hear in her own words how that transition felt from "scripted content on a big budget show" to "Daily videos on the Internet" and it makes so much sense now that she didn't just say yes, she said "Yes, but this is what I want from the content so that it fits better with my creative choices" and they reached the format that we see now. From "random topic we saw just the headline for and now we'll read the rest of the article as content" to "We select a topic, and we do something with that (call it a game, a will it, we attempt to recreate it in an entertaining way)"

[@NakedTrashPanda]

I am glad too. Rarely get to hear anything from her, and alone (not that this matters).

[@kevinscottbailey8335]

I absolutely adore Stevie! She is the beating heart of mythical

[@vonvard]

Stevie is one of those people. I don't think I know how to put it into words. My sister is similar and she became Partner at Deloitte! She just has it. And it's so inspirational. I'm a 39yr old graphic designer and work for an average firm but it's safe. She has that spark I will never have and its wonderful to see. I wish her the upmost success truly. Love from the UK

As a straight man, I agree on all points. LTAT was my favorite thing GMM has done.

[@abbijayne]

As a bi female. Yes. I love Stevie so much, and as much as I love R&L, I doubt they'd have come as far as they have done, with the successes they have without having her be a part of it.

[@WristwatchRomantic]

It never occurred to me until this interview that having a gorgeous set design was something Stevie seriously took upon herself to push. It was the awesome production quality that really helped get me hooked on Good Mythical Morning when I first watched 7 years ago, because at that time, no other exclusively YT or internet talkshow was investing that much effort into how the show looked. I wouldn't be watching their show nearly as much as I do now if it weren't for her!

[@tehroller]

Stevie is an inspiration for women in the creator space, and people in general, just an absolute beam of positive energy and you can tell by how it reflects in her work

[@annantas]

I used to dislike Stevie in the early days but over time, I realised that she is purely excellent at what she does and I can now see the crucial qualities in her that make her so brilliant at Mythical! She is now is a major insipration for me in the way I conduct myself. Girl power! :) Let me also add that the interviewing was great and the discussion was super insightful. I love this approach to interviews! :)

[@Summergch]

I get what you mean. I didn't dislike her, but there were times where i'd get irked by her way of handling things. But over time you get to accept she was doing what R&L needed from an employee being paid to manage them and the show. And she also got to show more of herself instead of just being an "employee who sometimes is put in an assisting position in front of the camera".

[@Jessicurrrrrrrrr]

Why did you dislike her?

[@joeperkins4309]

Our girl Stevie... Beautiful in so many ways.

[@justinguitarcia]

There is a legitimate authenticity to the GMM team and I really think the secret is that. So much in entertainment is built on a facade, has zero actual trust - both interpersonally and creatively, and ends up being ruled by the algo. Its inspiring to see a team that trusts each other and allows themselves to see a creative vision through. The payoff is evident here. Im a musician and there are a lot of parallels and lessons to be applied in that world from Stevie

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Stevie. Sooooo much! I've been a religious Good Mythical Morning fan since i got a blood infection and spent my recovery watching them from start to finish. Even tho it's cliche to hear and for people to say, they really did help me thru a tough time in my life, and even tho it's one of those parasocial things, the way they present their show.. its like hanging out with 2 friends at first.. n now as the show has grown, i've fallen in love with all the cast members. And it hurts to see when ones leave. (like Jen and a few of the guys earlier on). One thing that Stevie adds to the shows... is her infectious laugh. While most corny TV shows have laugh tracks, Good Mythical Morning has a Stevie laugh track. Only... it's a true organic one, not a forced laugh track. Because she's laughing at the stuff I do. She's such an integral part of the show (despite how much she oversees n manages).
