GTLive/Season 5

Season 5 is currently the longest running "season" of GTLive. It ran from April 2, 2020-August 30, 2023. This season started at the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic, directly after MatPat and Steph moved to North Carolina. As such, the first year of episodes were recorded in quarantine conditions, with Stephanie running the tricaster and a socially and physically distant Amy editing the episodes until Mirror Matt was hired around July 2020. This is also the season where livestreaming stopped, due to the combination of the lack of outside help for MatPat and Steph and because of their increasing workload as business owners and as parents. 
Food Theory was launched in May of 2020 and the second and third St. Jude Charity Livestreams occurred during this time period. Ash, the eventual host of GTLive, was also hired during this season in March of 2022 as the GTLive technician/producer, replacing Mirror Matt. The final episode was DOWN with The Chef!|Cuphead and the Delicious Last Course ENDING on August 22, 2022.
