Legendary poker YouTuber and podcaster Joey Ingram announced a big return to the poker world after nearly a year of complete radio silence online. The public reception of this announcement was overwhelmingly positive, but still left fans wondering about what he's been up to all this time and what we can expect to see from him in the near future. According to his most recent replies on X (Formerly Twitter), there are a number of partnerships he's been working on behind the scenes that he will be publicizing soon.
His return comes with some big announcements including a guest appearance as the lead commentator at Garrett Adelstein's first return livestream cash game at Bally's Live on December 13, 2023. This is following a 14-month layoff since the Robbi Jade Lew cheating scandal that took place in October 2022. Additionally, Joey released a brand new 2023 interview with Garrett Adelstein, marking the first interview he's published on his main YouTube channel in nearly a year.
With Joey Ingram's announcements of his return as a commentator at Bally Live's Garrett Adelstein comeback event, as well as his brand new episode of the Poker Life Podcast, it's safe to say that he's back (at least for the time being).

Joey Ingram: "Going from one of the most celebrated players on the shows, to overnight one of the most hated players on discussion forums online... How has that been like to go through?"
Joey Ingram: "Why did it take 14 months for you to make a return? You knew you could get in any of the other high stakes livestream lineups [at The Lodge and Bally's Live]."
Joey Ingram: "Don't lie, you watched Santhosh lose $1 million during Super High Stakes Week [Hustler Casino Live] and thought to yourself 'I have to get back in there'. There's some FOMO [Fear of missing out] going on right?"
