Bobbi Althoff, born on July 31, 1997, is an American podcaster and influencer known for her viral interviews with celebrities like Drake, Lil Yachty, and Offset1. She grew up in Southern California as the second youngest of six children1. Before her rise to fame, she worked as a nanny1.
Bobbi started posting content on TikTok in 2021, initially sharing pregnancy updates1. Her comedic and sarcastic style quickly gained popularity, leading to the launch of her podcast, “The Really Good Podcast,” in April 20231. Her interview with Drake went viral, significantly boosting her profile1.
In her personal life, Bobbi married Cory Althoff in January 2020, and they have two daughters1. However, they separated in July 20231. Bobbi has also been open about her struggles with depression1.
25-year-old Bobbi Althoff is quickly becoming one of the biggest and most polarizing podcasters of the year.
Althoff first became known as a mom influencer on TikTok (or a MomToker) before privatizing her account and reemerging with comedic content. Clips from her podcast "The Really Good Podcast" have amassed tens of millions of views on the app. Since launching the podcast in 2021, she's managed to score A-list interviews with Drake and Lil Yachty, among others, in a shockingly short amount of time.
The quick rise in success has also led some to accuse the influencer and host of being an industry plant.
Along with her star-studded guests, Althoff herself has become famous (or infamous, rather) for a deliberately deadpan persona. Her interviews aren't in the traditional Q&A format; they're dry and intentionally awkward, like episodes of Nathan Fielder's surreal comedy "Nathan For You." The influencer talks slowly and quietly, almost as if performing ASMR, and often instigates or leaves deliberate pauses to create discomfort. The humor of her videos is less about punch lines and more about seeing the baffled and unexpected reactions from the celebrities she interviews. Her podcast clips are often in video format, so the facial expressions of her and her guests play a crucial role.
The video you’re referring to is actually an AI-generated deepfake12. It first appeared on social media in February 2024 and quickly went viral. The video falsely depicts Bobbi Althoff in an intimate situation, but it has been confirmed by both community notes on social media and Bobbi Althoff herself that the video is not real12.
Deepfake technology can create very convincing but entirely fake videos, which raises significant ethical and legal concerns
