Who Is Bobbi Althoff? All About the Influencer Who's Interviewed Drake and Lil Yachty

Bobbi Althoff went viral for interviewing Drake in his bed on her podcast, 'The Really Good Podcast'

Rebecca Aizin is an Editorial Assistant at PEOPLE. She has been working at PEOPLE since 2023. Her work has previously appeared on Elle, HGTV and Backstage. 

Bobbi Althoff went from posting mom content regularly to interviewing famous rappers in a matter of two years.

The 26-year-old influencer began posting videos on TikTok in 2021, mainly focusing on content surrounding her children and her pregnancy experiences. However, she skyrocketed to fame in 2023 when she began her podcast, The Really Good Podcast .

So far, Althoff has interviewed rappers Drake and Lil Yachty , businessman Mark Cuban , actor Rick Glassman and YouTuber Funny Marco, among others.

Known and beloved for her deadpan humor and for intentionally making her interviewees uncomfortable, Althoff has amassed over 7 million TikTok followers and more than 1 million subscribers on her YouTube channel , where she posts her podcast episodes.

However, since her success, some have questioned who Althoff is and how she rose to fame so quickly, prompting rumors that she is an “industry plant” — someone who is secretly being backed by the industry to help them achieve success.

In response to the gossip, Althoff posted a video of herself dancing awkwardly to Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice ’s “Barbie World,” with the caption, “Celebrating because the industry planted me.”

So, who is Bobbi Althoff? Here’s everything to know about the TikTok influencer and podcaster.

She started posting on TikTok in 2021

Althoff began posting regularly on TikTok in 2021, focusing mainly on content surrounding being a mom. Her early TikToks revolved around her pregnancy with her second daughter and motherhood.

In one of her first public TikToks from July 2021, Althoff wrote “when people choose to have their kids in their 20’s instead of waiting till they are at least 35+” over a video of herself mouthing the lyrics to Minaj's "Grindin'." She sings along to the words “dang little mama you is such a loser” repeatedly, seemingly mimicking people who have made comments to her about being a young mom, asking, “Why waste your youth?” in the caption.

She continued posting videos through 2022, mainly of her pregnancy, like clips of her dancing and struggling in the heat at Disneyland .

In the latter, she joked how she was "10 months pregnant" and at the theme park in the June heat.

“I was hoping that I’d be able to walk her out or something but that doesn’t feel like it’s happening,” she said. “She’s never coming, I will be pregnant for the rest of my life and that’s just something I’m going to have to accept.”

Her husband filed for divorce in February 2024

Bobbi and her husband, Cory Althoff, wed on Jan. 31, 2020, and share two children. Sadly, in February 2024, Cory filed for divorce . He listed July 4, 2023, as the date of the couple's separation.

"As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife," Bobbi wrote on Instagram after the news broke. "While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him ."

According to his LinkedIn , Cory is a programmer who works as a senior vice president at CompTIA and is a published author of two books about self-teaching computer science and coding.

In April 2023, Cory made a rare appearance on Bobbi’s TikTok as the two made a promotional video for Bounty together. In the video, she talked about how Cory cleans the house — only to reveal she cleans everything after him because he “always misses tiny things.”

“Today I thought it would be a fun idea to talk about our marriage,” Bobbi said in the video. “My husband sleeps downstairs and I sleep upstairs where the children sleep and I take care of them all night long so I’m generally tired so he does all the cleaning.”

On Dave Portnoy's BFFs podcast , Bobbi shared that she doesn't sleep with her husband since she shares her bed with her two kids.

She shares two children with Cory

Althoff has two daughters, whom she refers to as Concrete and Richard, in an effort to keep their names and identities private. While she never shows their faces, she has featured her younger child on her TikTok since the baby was born in June 2022.

In her younger daughter's first appearance, Althoff posted a video of herself just a few weeks after giving birth as she got ready with the newborn to do chores.

“I’m gonna baby wear her so that I can get some laundry done and just get some stuff done around the house,” she said in the TikTok.

Sticking with the bit that she named her daughter Concrete, Althoff responded with a video to a comment in November 2022 of someone critiquing her name choice.

“I don’t see anything wrong with the name Concrete,” she said. “It is a pretty common word so I don’t understand why it would not make a good name. My daughter is going to be a very strong woman with a very strong name for her.”

She continued, “I grew up in the construction business and I just always wanted my daughter to have some ties to myself so yes her name is Concrete Sawdust Althoff so I encourage you guys to think outside the box when naming your children because the future will be a better place if we stop caring about what we name our littles.”

Althoff has since deleted all her videos with her children, explaining on the BFFs podcast that she didn't want them to have a digital footprint.

"I'm so happy I [deleted the videos], especially since I made that decision before [the podcast] because I don't want them to have the digital footprint that I've created," she said. "Now when they go public and they're not with me, I don't have to worry so that's good."

She started her podcast in April 2023

Althoff debuted her podcast, The Really Good Podcast, in April 2023, and one of her first guests was Tammin Sursok, who played Jenna on Pretty Little Liars . Althoff cemented her signature awkward, confrontational style when one of her first questions was, “So you were on a show called Pretty Little Liars . Was the lie that you’re pretty?”

Months later, Althoff revealed on the BFFs podcast that she used to drive to Los Angeles once a week and would pay influencers $300 to join her podcast.

Since then, she has welcomed various other influencers and stars on her podcast, including TikTok star Morgan Presley and Not Dead Yet actor Rick Glassman.

In an April TikTok promoting her podcast, Althoff wrote about how starting a podcast was always a dream of hers.

“I’ve always dreamed of having my own podcast…So I filmed a pilot episode…,” she wrote. “Everyone I showed it to said it was awful..They said I wouldn’t secure celebrity guests anymore…That no one would watch it … But I proved them wrong … It got 6 views and my famous neighbor agreed to do an episode….Don’t give up on your dreams. Ever.”

In an interview with TODAY in August 2023, Althoff said she got the idea to start a podcast using the "dry humor" character she's known for — and emphasized that's not how she is in real life.

A week later, Althoff shared with Cosmopolitan how she doesn't prepare too much for her interviews — but thinks her awkward style is what makes them special.

“ There’s no prep, and that’s the fun of it,” she explained. “I think that’s why celebrities are down to do it. They know it’s a character, and we just wing it. It’s not a real interview. I’m not trying to get hard-hitting information about you — I’m not trying to uncover anything. It’s just a conversation. It’s really a parody of a good interview.”

She interviewed Drake and Lil Yachty in July 2023

After over 2 million views on her interview with YouTuber Funny Marco, Althoff had already gone viral. But her fame escalated when she teased that the next episode of her podcast would be with Drake.

On TODAY, Althoff said that the interview came about when Drake saw her episode with Funny Marco and liked the video and followed her.

"When I saw he followed me, I was like I'm gonna ask," she said. She proceeded to direct message him, and three days later, she was interviewing him in bed.

Her full 1-hour long interview on YouTube, which was released on July 20, 2023, garnered over 9 million views. During her conversation with the star, Althoff maintained her stoic, quiet tone the entire time and did not appear impressed with Drake — nor the fact that they were conducting the interview in a bed.

"The idea behind it was it would be a funny thing that you wanted to do it so bad that you bothered him while he was going to bed to do it," she explained on TODAY. "Now we do all my podcasts in random locations."

During one particularly jokingly tense moment, Althoff asked Drake not to drink while she interviews him.

“It’s a nightcap!” he said.

“It’s sad,” she replied.  

Just weeks after she interviewed Drake, however, fans noticed that the Certified Lover Boy rapper and the podcast host had unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Althoff took down her interview with him from all her platforms.

The unfollowing came just days after Althoff posted a TikTok of herself attending Drake's concert in L.A. where she stood in the crowd with her arms crossed with her signature deadpan expression as people danced around her. “Really in my element @ this guy’s concert,” she jokingly captioned the post. 

In July 2023, Althoff also posted another hour-long interview with rapper Lil Yachty where the two joked about being young parents, fame and their careers. In the middle of the interview, Drake even called Lil Yachty and shouted hello to Althoff. 

“What’s up Bobbo?” Drake said as Lil Yachty turned the phone toward her.

In August 2023, she interviewed Mark Cuban.

She shared that her podcast popping off was "crazy." "I always wanted it to blow up obviously, you hope for something but it's crazy when it actually happens," she said.

In a very short amount of time, Bobbi Althoff has become one of the most talked about content creators on the internet. Her interviews with Hip Hop stars Drake and Lil Yachty generated headlines.

In particular, Bobbi Althoff’s recent sitdown with Lil Yachty is making the rounds online again. That episode of The Really Good Podcast amassed more than 5.3 million YouTube views since premiering on July 23.

Althoff spoke to the BFFs with Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards, and Brianna Chickenfry podcast about her encounter with Yachty. According to the TikTok personality, the initial meeting with the Atlanta rapper made her feel uneasy.

“When I walked into his house, I was so uncomfortable. It was so awkward,” said Bobbi Althoff about the meet-up with Yachty. “I walked into his house and it was super awkward because he’s really kind of awkward and I heard that going into it.”

She added, “I walked into his house and he didn’t really even say hi to me. I was like, ‘Let’s go to the bathroom.’ We go to the bathroom then we get out and he’s just sitting there with his two assistants and he’s not even acknowledging that I’m in the room.”

Bobbi Althoff went on to say a friend suggested she address the perceived awkwardness during the interview with Lil Yachty. The Really Good Podcast conversation did include Althoff and Yachty discussing the situation on camera.

In addition, Bobbi Althoff’s viral interview with Drake also generated conversation over the last several days. According to reports , Althoff and Drake unfollowed each other on Instagram. Plus, the podcast episode with the Canadian rap star has been taken down.

Lil Yachty Claims He's Carrying The Conversation In New Bobbi Althoff Interview

Looks like we have a new master of the slightly awkward, dry, but nonetheless hilarious interview genre.

Bobbi Althoff is taking her newfound stardom to bigger and bigger heights, one renowned hip-hop celebrity interview at a time. Moreover, the social media sensation recently sat down with Lil Yachty at one of his homes for an enlightening, slightly awkward, but nonetheless entertaining conversation. While it may seem that way on the surface, it's clear that this style of interview is just part of Bobbi's brand and sense of humor and connection. Still, it didn't stop the Atlanta rapper from remarking that he carried their conversation forward, for reasons that you'll have to see the full interview to find out. Regardless, they spoke on their children, Yachty's name, and a whole lot more with even some special guests popping up.

Furthermore, you might remember that Bobbi Althoff nabbed a sit-down with Drake before having this convo with Lil Yachty. During that talk, they also reciprocated that dry and humorous energy and launched The Really Good podcast to new heights of notoriety and attention. In one particularly funny exchange, the 6 God scolds Althoff for missing her daughter's first birthday just to get this interview done . As with everything else within her deadpan demeanor and humor, it's unclear how much of this is a joke and how much is serious.

However, this conversation with Lil Yachty is unsurprising given his stronger-than-ever relationship with Drake. That probably connected him to Bobbi Althoff, although they both opened up many more doors for each other throughout their careers. Recently, Yachty called Drizzy one of the few people that he looks up to , which is by no means an unreasonable sentiment. With both of their massive successes and career moves, it would be hard to not admire how far they've come.

Meanwhile, people are already theorizing and making suggestions as to what Bobbi Althoff's next rap interview should be. Maybe she will be the new Nardwuar, making hip-hop press clips go viral for their off-the-wall and chronically online energy. Whatever the case, we're sure that this won't be the apex of her career; rather, it's just a strong statement as its major mainstream beginnings.

Offset turns the tables on podcaster Bobbi Althoff in her latest awkward interview: 'I couldn't even Google you'

• Offset hilariously turned the tables on podcaster Bobbi Althoff in her latest awkward interview.
• The former Migos rapper said he had to go on TikTok to find out who she was.
• "I couldn't even Google you," he said. "You're not there yet."

Offset hilariously turned the tables on podcaster Bobbi Althoff in a clip from her latest awkward interview by suggesting he had no idea who she was.

The former Migos member is the latest rapper to appear on Althoff's "The Really Good Podcast" after Drake, Lil Yachty, and Tyga. 

Sharing a snippet of the interview to Instagram on Monday, Althoff said the whole episode is expected to drop "Thursday, probably."

In the clip, Offset asked Althoff what she does, to which she replied: "I interview people."

After Offset asked Althoff why she wanted to interview him, the podcaster said: "I didn't."

"Your team reached out to mine," she added.

"Don't cap, let's not cap about that," replied Offset. "Flag on the play. Cap."

Althoff then said: "I honestly don't know how this came about, my team could have reached out to yours. I'm not gonna, I don't wanna make you look back."

Offset replied: "They had to show me who Bobbi was. I thought they was talking about Bobby Boucher."

Bobby Boucher is the main protagonist of the 1998 comedy film "The Waterboy," played by Adam Sandler.

Althoff responded by saying that she had "never heard of Offset" and that she had "Googled" him on the way to the interview.

"I had to go on TikTok, I couldn't even Google you," Offset replied. "You're not there yet. But you'll be there. But you're on TikTok."

Fans were quick to praise Offset for his witty responses and managing to keep up with Althoff's dry sense of humor.

"Pulled out the Uno reverse card on her," commented one fan on Althoff's video.

Another wrote: "He demolished her."

"You've met your match," commented another.

Althoff, 26, first rose to prominence as a mom influencer on TikTok before shifting to comedic content.

Since launching her podcast in 2021, she's managed to score interviews with a number of famous musicians in a shockingly short space of time, most notably Drake.

The "One Dance" rapper made a surprise appearance on Althoff's podcast in July, during which they sat together in bed tucked underneath a layer of blankets.

For unknown reasons, clips of Althoff's interview with Drake have since been removed from her  YouTube channel and Instagram.

The pair have also unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Drake Interrupts Lil Yachty's "The Really Good Podcast" Interview With Bobbi Althoff

In the latest episode of “The Really Good Podcast,” host Bobbi Althoff turned her focus on hip hop heavyweight Lil Yachty today (July 27). Following her headline-grabbing interview with Drake, the TikTok star’s latest one-on-one gifted listeners with another riveting hour of candid dialogue.

Early in their exchange, she broached the depth of Yachty’s relationship with the Toronto superstar. With Yachty comfortably dressed in an “I Love Scene H**s” t-shirt, he offered a refreshingly candid response. The artist suggested that their rapport runs as deep as “the center of the Earth.” Although he stopped short of declaring Drizzy his best friend worldwide, the Atlanta native admitted he is certainly in his “Top 3.”

Toward the end of their conversation, Drake fittingly interrupted the interview. In a snippet shared alongside the episode’s debut, Althoff stated, “Don’t say nothing crazy.”

The “God’s Plan” hitmaker revealed, “It ain’t easy. It’s a tough one to power through, I’m not going to lie to you. God bless her heart, though.” Yachty responded, “Brother, I’m the one holding this conversation alive. I’ll tell you that much.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Yachty spoke to the TikToker about his latest venture, “A Safe Place Podcast.” He explained, “I did it for my best friend… I did it because I wanted to make him rich.” When asked whether it was working, the musician replied, “Not yet. Well, I don’t know. We got our first sponsor. We got a pretty good signing deal. He’s not rich, but he has more money than he started with.”

Moreover, Althoff’s sit-down with Drake not only paved the way for her exchange with Yachty but also bolstered her show’s reputation. The Toronto native’s scolding of the host for missing her daughter’s first birthday for their interview sparked amusement and debate among fans.

Evident in this interview, the special camaraderie between Drake and Yachty highlighted the mutual respect they share. Yachty’s acknowledgment of the rapper as a role model echoed the sentiments of many others in the industry, including 21 Savage and Ice Spice.

Share All sharing options for: The satire, ironic boredom, and Drake-fueled mystery of podcaster Bobbi Althoff, explained

Bobbi Althoff doesn’t want you to take her seriously.

Althoff hosts The Really Good Podcast . The phrase “really good” isn’t an earnest declaration of quality, but rather the summation of Althoff’s brand of perpetually detached, flat-affect daring: Go ahead and tell her it’s not “really good.” She would never claim the talk show is rigorous, researched, or anything but awkward. The podcast, like the character Althoff is playing on it, is supposed to be ironically pleasant enough.

But, like, only if you get it.

The Really Good Podcast ’s subscriber numbers and Althoff’s profile rose over the past few months after the 26-year-old TikToker, once known for mom content , switched mediums and landed an interview with the press-averse Drake in July 2023. Adding to the lore was the fact that Althoff scored the life-changing conversation via a series of Instagram DMs. While the interview did happen, the episode was ultimately deleted in August with no further official explanation from Althoff or the rapper as to why.

Since then, Althoff has parlayed that interview and her style — unfazed, dry, bored in an ironic way — into more episodes featuring guests like Mark Cuban, Maluma, Lil Yachty, and Shaq to the tune of hundreds of thousands of views. She asks her interview subjects what they wear, how they live, and what they like to eat, but doesn’t seem that interested in what they have to say. She meets most of them with deadpan sarcasm and silence, making her guests live in the discomfort of whatever they just revealed.

But it’s Althoff’s recent interview with rapper Offset that has brought her back into the mainstream conversation. Unlike previous guests, Offset took charge of the conversation, flipping the tables on Althoff and dragging her mercilessly, at one point comparing her to unsalted chicken meat.

It raised the question of just why Althoff is so popular and why she’s been so successful. It calls into question Althoff’s persona and what exactly people are laughing at. In many ways, it was a really good podcast, but perhaps not in the way Althoff intended.

What Bobbi Althoff’s whole deal is

If you look through Althoff’s videos on YouTube and dig into the comments section — the place for people who have the strongest opinions and the most time on their hands — the replies have a common theme. Her biggest fans like these videos because they believe Althoff is providing something more irreverent than regular celebrity interviews. To her followers, Althoff’s interviews upend what these conversations are supposed to be, and in turn unsettle the famous people who know exactly how they are supposed to act — generally.

Most celebrity interviews and profiles — on talk shows or in entertainment magazines — just serve as publicity for whatever an actor or musician is working on next. There’s a slew of expected questions and pre-prepped answers that don’t really tell an audience anything except when a new movie is coming out or how to preorder an album. Look at any press tour and you’ll see answers repeated over and over in competing publications.

Althoff doesn’t really allow for that.

Watching and listening to her feels like someone brought to life Olivia Mossbacher — the mean white teenage girl played by Sydney Sweeney on the first season of HBO’ s White Lotus — or as my editor insists, like NBC figured out how to combine Parks and Recreation ’s April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) with The Office ’s Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer). She doesn’t like to make eye contact. Her arms are seemingly always crossed. Whether she’s saying something cutting, something hilarious, or something to indicate genuine interest, there’s no emotion in her crispy, deep-fried voice. It all conjures up a vibe that she’d rather be anywhere else than interviewing this extremely famous person.

When this works, it leads to some fun.

In the episode with singer Jason Derulo , Althoff uses her deliberate awkwardness as an avenue through which to ask Derulo about the shirt he’s wearing. They’re both dressed casually. Derulo is wearing a tangerine cutoff tank and a pair of shorts but can’t name the designer.

“Do you not buy your clothes?” she asks. She looks like she’s about to pounce, as much as Althoff can look like someone who would actually pounce. “I was just wondering if you have someone who’s like, ‘Here’s your shirt for today .’”

“A lot of days, like, I get a lot of different options laid out,” Derulo replies. “But then, you know, I’ll like pick an option.”

“Okay, just hard work,” Althoff smirks, eliciting an awkward sighing laugh from Derulo.

Derulo looks like he’s going to the gym, and this interview appears as casual as can be. But the truth is that there’s someone else in charge of going to the store and buying Derulo’s casual clothes. That person, or someone else on the payroll, then picked out a series of clothes to suit this interview, and Derulo chose from that assortment. Apparently, according to Derulo, this happens on a lot of days of his existence. That means when we see Derulo in his media appearances, out and about in paparazzi photos, or even the days when we don’t see Derulo and he’s just living, there’s likely someone who picked out his outfits.

This revelation is a small detail and came from gentle ribbing, but it brings into focus how constructed Derulo’s image is. Whether it’s asking Charlie Puth about whether his team prepared him for a hurricane, interrogating Shaq about how he couldn’t travel with his private chef, or grilling Lil Yachty about his $90,000 veneers, Althoff has a way of bringing into focus how starkly different the way celebrities live life — and think about money — is from regular humans.

Despite the many assurances that they are just like us, celebrities aren’t. The fun of Althoff’s show is having these very rich and famous people acknowledge that themselves and, often, laugh at the gulf between our lives and theirs.

Bobbi Althoff didn’t invent the deadpan interview (and hasn’t really improved it)

Althoff’s success isn’t a total surprise. The type of purposefully uncomfortable style she’s implementing has been done and critically lauded before. Althoff has drawn comparisons to Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns , Diana Morgan as Philomena Cunk on Cunk on Earth , and Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date , but with less charm and skill.

Another particularly potent comparison is comedian Ziwe. The writer and talk show host rose to fame by asking controversial, semi-famous white women like Caroline Calloway , Alison Roman , and Rose McGowan impossibly uncomfortable questions about race, like if white people should get cookies for being allies, and if they could name five Asian people in all of history.

Ziwe landed a satirical talk show on Showtime, where she continued to roast her guests while also calling into question broader issues of how beauty, race, and money operate in the world.

“Can you tell us how white boy summer is different from the past 400 summers in American history?” Ziwe asks Chet Haze, a white rapper who sometimes has a Jamaican accent and is also Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s son.

“I guess not. I don’t know. I think it started with me getting a fresh-ass haircut and I was feeling myself,” Haze replies, likely failing to recognize Ziwe’s barb about oppression, or possibly fully understanding the joke and proceeding to talk about his haircut anyway.

The tension and humor that Ziwe — who is also playing a satirical version of herself — is able to create in that interview with Haze works because she’s done her work and seems genuinely interested in what Haze has to say, even if it’s extreme.

The comedy of asking Haze about oppression and white boy summer works because it comes partly at Ziwe’s expense. She’s earnestly asking Haze — someone who has never claimed to be a spokesperson for race and inequality nor is revered as one — an absurd question. The same goes for Galifianakis asking Justin Bieber about why he thinks Anne Frank is a Belieber, or Morgan as Cunk asking historians whose renaissance is better: Beyoncé’s or the European artistic movement of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Satire works because there’s an awareness of the absurdity. It’s sharp and considered, with something larger to say about celebrity, history, money, race, or whatever the satirist has taken aim at.

Each episode, Ziwe’s, Morgan’s, and Galifianakis’s characters are, for the sake of the bit, genuinely engaged in their guests but also find a way to stay true to the satire. They’re hitting the beats we expect but adapting it to the situation.

In its weakest moments, Althoff’s sardonic boredom has no deeper level to it, nothing beyond its vapidity. Althoff said herself that she is unprepared and doesn’t research , which doesn’t make for the hardest-hitting interviews. It raises the question of exactly how long she can keep this all going (Althoff has live shows scheduled later in theaters this year). If all she has to offer is general disinterest, what’s the difference if Althoff is interviewing Offset or Drake or Maluma or Charlie Puth? At some point, all these interviews bleed into one another, making them harder to distinguish and more similar to the same-same celebrity interviews her fans loathe.

How Offset changed Bobbi Althoff’s show

While Althoff’s interviews have gotten hundreds of thousands of views, it was her interview with rapper Offset that aimed a mainstream spotlight on the podcaster. On the September 28 episode , Althoff employed a riff on Offset’s clothes — asking him why he chose his outfit (boots, shorts, and a leather jacket) — not unlike she did with Derulo. Offset had a different response.

“Because you’re not gonna do it,” Offset replies to her. “I dress the way that you won’t dress because you don’t get it, you don’t get the language, you don’t get it.”

A few seconds later, Althoff replies: “I feel like you maybe are insecure about that question. because you answered very defensively. I was trying to understand; you don’t have to be so mean.”

He then explains to her that people who dress like Althoff — whose style Offset describes as 36-year-old mom — don’t get the idea of personal style. He turns the tables on Althoff, asking her, essentially, if she picked out her outfit and why she put it together that way for an interview with him. “Why would you go 2000s tank with the open button-up?” he says. “You put that together. It’s just not all the way together.”

Among other barbs exchanged — Offset not knowing who she is, Offset telling Althoff not to make fun of his finances, Offset telling Althoff her legs and ankles are ashy, Offset telling Althoff that she is like an unseasoned piece of chicken — Offset roasts Althoff’s interview style.

“Hell nah,” he tells her when asked if he would recommend going on the podcast to his friends. He then goes in on Althoff’s deadpan voice and lack of enthusiasm. “You should be Siri. Deadass. No playing shit. You should hit Apple and be like, ‘Yo, it’s 2023. It’s time for the new Siri voice.’ You could apply for that shit and they’re gonna give it to you. And that’s gonna be more money . ”

“You should go write new music,” she volleys back.

“Steve Jobs. ‘Hey Steve ,’” Offset continues his joke.

Althoff’s episode with Offset has over 2.2 million views on YouTube, significantly more than her recent videos with Maluma , Derulo, J. Balvin , Shaq, and Puth (her video views peaked after the Drake interview in July ). Since the episode aired, Offset has maintained that there’s no hard feelings between the two, that it was a positive experience, and talked about how it was all in jest.

While it might have been fun for both parties, Althoff’s lack of playfulness and quickness in that Offset installment brought attention to her podcast style. It even had some questioning her fame.

Critics called her mediocre and a bad host , and said her schtick was tired . Others compared her to the aforementioned hosts, noting how she was passing off a poorer version of that style of interview. Some critics pointed out that the Offset interview highlighted that Althoff’s humor tends to play on the fact that she’s a white woman who’s uncomfortable in Black spaces and purposely uninterested around Black people and people of color:

I’m being so serious right now when I ask, why is she always near Black folk? Is that the only way her “humor” works? https://t.co/tse44Eux4F — @[email protected] (@Imani_Barbarin) October 1, 2023

That critique raises the question of what people find so funny about Althoff and who exactly finds it funny. Is Althoff asking these very famous celebrities questions about their very expensive, out-of-touch lives inherently funny? Or is the comedy in the implicit notion of how uncomfortable Black culture makes this white woman? Do her interviews with Charlie Puth and Mark Cuban get as many clicks as Shaq or Offset? (They do not.)

Althoff has maintained that the person she is on her podcast is a character, that the Bobbi Althoff on the air is not who the real Bobbi Althoff is, and that her biggest critics don’t fully understand her.

“I’m very insecure, and the character that I’ve created is made up of my biggest insecurities. I’ve just made her into someone who’s proud of who she is,” Althoff told Cosmopolitan in an interview this summer. She also explained that the celebrities she has on know that they’re interacting with that character Althoff has created.

“I’ve always been so embarrassed about being socially awkward. Now, I’ve exaggerated that and made it even worse for this character. It’s a fun way to take control of this thing that’s been horrible for me my whole life,” Althoff continued.

Perhaps Althoff is really committed to this bit, which includes ironic displeasure at talking to people of color, Black rappers especially. Maybe her biggest critics just don’t get that Althoff is making a joke about white women’s self-importance, if that’s her intention.

But she’s not made a convincing argument that she’s skillfully executing that satire. Her jokes, especially in the Offset interview, float on one level — that this specific Caucasian woman is rude and disinterested — never threatening to be anything more substantial. Althoff’s failure isn’t that she’s rude or disinterested, but that she’s incapable of challenging her audience beyond that.

Bobbi Althoff Addresses Why She Didn’t Tour w/ Funny Marco + Denies Stealing His Interviewing Style: ‘I Honestly Think We Were Both Doing The Same Thing A Little Different’

Bobbi Althoff , known for her viral podcast interview with  Drake  and other celebrities, recently hashed out grievances with  Funny Marco .

On his podcast “Open Thoughts,” Funny Marco   and Bobbi Althoff discussed why they didn’t tour together and their fallout. 

At some point before their joint tour, the social media influencer claimed she texted   Funny Marco  a long message to let him know she was “depressed,” but she said he “didn’t care.” Instead of being a friend to her,  Bobbi Althoff claimed the comedian unfollowed her on social media. 

Known for his awkward approach to podcast interviews,  Funny Marco, born Marco Summers,  initially responded, 

“That was before you texted me.”

When  Bobbi Althoff persisted, claiming “The Night” actor unfollowed her after the text message, Funny Marco jokingly admitted, 

“That was not me. I was out of my body. I’m so sorry.”

Despite  Bobbi  calling the situation “f***ed up,”  Marco said he has since followed her back. Nevertheless, the internet star shared she’s in a better place mentally and would “show up” if they planned to do another tour.

Also, the pair addressed allegations in the interview that the 26-year-old copied Marco’s interview style and passed it off as hers. Bobbi  jokingly stated to  Marco , “You took my stuff,” before she later added,

“No, I honestly think that we were both doing the same thing a little different and then someone introduced me to you because they were like, ‘Oh, you guys are so similar.’ That’s the first I ever heard of you or seen you.”

The YouTube content creator then shared his opinion, 

“I just feel like you being you, and I’m being me.”

Funny Marco

Marco  explained,

“I just give props when due, and I feel like you do your job. I feel like you doing what you gotta do, and I feel like you getting where you gotta get to.”

Marco  and  Bobbi infamously did a podcast together last year on her “ Really Good Podcast” series. She credited that interview with taking her “to different levels” while expressing her appreciation for the comedian.

Despite criticism of her podcast technique, it was the jumping-off point for  Bobbi  and her career. She’s interviewed several celebrities like  Lil Yachty ,  Shaq ,  Offset , and more!

Marco  has also interviewed some of the world’s biggest celebrities, from  Nicki Minaj  to  Chris Brown  and Kevin Hart .

Bobbi Althoff Denies Copying Funny Marco in New Interview: ‘I Had Never Seen You At All’

Bobbi Althoff disagrees with any accusation saying she took Funny Marco ’s interview style and ran with it.

In a recent interview featuring Althoff and Marco both, as seen above, the former was asked how she feels about such comments.

“I say to that, that you took my stuff,” she joked on a recent episode of Marco’s Open Thoughts . “No, I know you didn’t. But to be fair, I couldn’t take your stuff because I had never seen you at all when I was already doing [videos].”

Per Althoff, who previously had Marco on an episode of her own Really Good Podcast series, she was actually introduced to Marco’s work through a friend who considered them both “so similar.” In fact, this was Althoff’s introduction to Marco’s interviews. 

As for Marco, he shared a similar take on the topic, ultimately leading to Althoff expressing gratitude for their prior interview together having taken her “to different levels.” She also presented Marco with a gift in the form of a plastic bag full of cash.

Of course, when it comes to the interview styles employed by Althoff and Marco, it's only right to tip several hats toward the Zach Galifianakis-starring Between Two Ferns , which made its debut back in 2008. One could rather easily argue that this performance art, or at least performance art-adjacent, interview style is not exactly a recent invention. Still, plenty of Internet personalities have taken on the form and made it their own, both Althoff and Marco included.

As for the Althoff comparisons, Lil Yachty made headlines last year for playfully making fun of Marco in connection with her post-interview success.

"Were you jealous that she just surpassed you and completely obliterated your existence?" Yachty joked to Marco at the time.
