Help Felix, Karen, and Max get the respect they deserve! As the show has evolved, so have the cast characters and special guests.  While Ben may have started the whole thing, he's no longer alone, the show is about so much more now! Shh..  Don't tell the crew, the show is really about you and what you want to see. Below are some names the team came up with and now it's your turn. Vote on your favorite or come up with your own. While there are no guarantees how the final name will be chosen, you'll be a part of the process, and that will help us decide on a name everyone can live with!

 

In the comments below tell us what you think the show should be called and why!

    Don't care about the name but whoever has been changing projects/programing.  Please stop.  This has me liking the show less.

    Of course! Obviously that is the answer, as the question is included as part of "everything".

    Please make it Rhyme with the current show title!


    That way everyone knows what the show is, including people who only come back to the show every few months and might have no clue about the name change when they look for new videos.

     

    Maybe "The Best Tech Show" or something with "Hack" in the title

    I agree, at this point it is just the name of the show, not the person presenting it.

     

    And anyway they should just be grateful they have a job image hehe

    I love what the rest of the team brings to the show, but it's the Ben Heck show. Its a product of the history of Ben's interests and ingenuity and its that legacy which the show is built upon. My first and only real vote is for leaving it the Ben Heck show. In the history of internet content continuity, keeping a name connects the parts.  If the show is changing, make a new show.

     

    The rest of the team is prominently featured in the credits and there's no doubt to anyone who's watching that its Ben's show and this is his team. Ultimately if Ben leaves, its just over.

     

    Please us a voting option to keep it the same.

     

    I'd suggest getting community ideas for different ways to recognize the rest of the team or make them more prominent. For example:

     

    What if there's additional content from time to time, that features and is lead by one of the team members, and centers around their interests, content of their own. Maybe over time in their own playlist. We get more content, we see more of these folks in their own light, and the anchor premise acts as center just as it does in the show.  A great example of this is Tested and how the contributors get their own segments.
