Stevie Levine Announces Departure from Good Mythical Morning

Stevie Wynne Levine, the longtime executive producer and voice of Good Mythical Morning (GMM), announced her departure from the show in February 2026 after more than 13 years. Her final episode aired on 13 March 2026. The 38-year-old comedian and producer said she was leaving to refocus on hands-on creative work, stepping away from the large company leadership role she had held at Mythical Entertainment.

Who Is Stevie Wynne Levine?

Stevie Wynne Levine was born on 4 November 1987 in Harlingen, Texas. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Television, Radio, and Film from Syracuse University, with a minor in Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises. Her career began as a producer at Collective Digital Studio in September 2011, and she also produced shows for Red Hour Films until December 2011. In 2012, she worked at Mondo Media as a production manager. She joined Rhett & Link, Inc. in November 2013 as a production manager, eventually rising to executive producer and talent over 13 years. During her tenure, she won over 16 Webby Awards, five Streamy Awards, 12 Telly Awards, six Signal Awards, and two Shorty Awards. She was named one of Variety’s ‘Hollywood’s New Leaders’ and appeared on every Forbes top-earning or influential creators list from 2022 to 2026.

Why Did Stevie Leave GMM?

On 13 February 2026, Stevie announced her departure on GMM in a pre-recorded statement. She revealed that she began considering leaving after Rhett McLaughlin’s 2025 heart surgery. In the announcement, she said: “As many of you know, Rhett started experiencing some heart issues in the summer of last year, and he underwent surgery in the fall. And the kind of gravity, or the weight of those circumstances, led to some important moments of reflection. And the guys and I had some serious conversations about life, about life in general, about life outside of work... I love Mythical... But with everything going on in the world right now and these larger life conversations that the guys and I have had, I've come to realise that I need to start putting myself first. And to do that, I need to find a way to go back to doing what I love the most, creating. And so, I never thought I'd be saying this. I'm leaving Mythical.”

The next day, 14 February 2026, she shared a second statement on Instagram thanking fans: “I cannot thank you enough for all the love, mythical beasts. My whole life I’ve anchored my self-worth to a list of achievements that never seem to be enough, but this past month you’ve made me realise that what mattered most to you all this time wasn’t the number of things we’ve accomplished. It was just me being me. I think that realisation may be the best gift you could give anyone. So, thank you.”

Speculation and Reactions

Despite her clear explanation, online speculation about a possible dispute with Rhett and Link persisted. In a GMM-focused Reddit thread, commenters suggested the show might be entering a new phase or winding down, citing the sale of Sporked and the cancellation of Good Mythical Weekend (GMV). Some also speculated that Stevie may have left due to financial differences with Rhett and Link. In her statement, Stevie explained that her role had grown too large: “My goal was never to build and oversee a large company. My love, my passion, my drive has always been to create. But as Mythical grew, like many leaders at fast-growing companies, my responsibilities grew, and the needs of the company got more complex; our team expanded, and personnel management became a weighty priority... The net effect of all that growth was that I was spending less and less time on the one thing that I am most passionate about, creating.”

What Is Stevie Doing Now?

Stevie has not publicly detailed any specific new projects since leaving Mythical Entertainment. However, she is expected to return as a guest on future GMM episodes. Her net worth is estimated at around $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. She is in a long-term relationship with her partner, Cassie Cobb.
