Contents

Early life

Althoff was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Perris, California. [3] She is the second youngest of six children. After graduating from high school, Althoff sought work as a nanny. [4] [5]

Career

Althoff started posting content on TikTok in 2021, with a focus on sharing her pregnancy updates. [6] [7] Her first TikTok, which was of her dancing with a banana, reached nearly 2 million views. [6]

In 2023, she created a new TikTok account on which she posts comedic videos. [8] That February, Althoff announced she had filmed a pilot for her upcoming podcast. [6] The podcast, named The Really Good Podcast, debuted in April 2023. [9]

In July 2023, Althoff interviewed rapper Drake on an episode of The Really Good Podcast. Clips from the interview went viral on TikTok. [8] [6] [10] The full interview was later removed from Althoff's YouTube channel in August, which sparked rumors of a feud. [6] [10]

Other celebrities Althoff has interviewed on her podcast include Lil Yachty, Mark Cuban, Offset, Shaquille O'Neal, Rick Glassman, Bobby Lee, and Sukihana. [9] [11] [12]

In February 2024, deepfake pornography of Althoff trended on X, which raised concerns about the site's prominent role in the propagation of AI porn. [13] [14] [15]

In August 2024, Althoff announced she would be hosting a live comedy show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles together with Sukihana. [16]

Interview style

Alex Abad-Santos of Vox described Althoff's style as "unfazed, dry, bored in an ironic way". He wrote, "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." [17]

Althoff's podcast has been compared to Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis and Chicken Shop Date , which also put their guests in awkward positions. She has been accused of copying the style of hosts such as Funny Marco and Ziwe Fumudoh. [18]

Personal life

Bobbi Heck married Cory Althoff, a programmer who works as a senior vice president at CompTIA, in January 2020. [9] [19] She met Cory on Bumble. They have two daughters. [20] Althoff preferred to keep their identities private. [7] [9] In February 2024, Cory filed for divorce with a date of separation listed as July 4, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. [19] [21] Their divorce was finalized in August 2024. [22]

Althoff said in August 2023 that she struggles with depression. [4]
