People quickly took notice of Bobbi's controversial interviewing style: deadpan humor and disinterest in her celebrity guests. This style of comedy isn't new and was popularized long before she entered the picture.

Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns, Diana Morgan as Philomena Cunk on Cunk on Earth, Ziwe*,* and another internet star, Funny Marco (who was actually a guest on Bobbi's show), are all known for this style of uncomfortable and unconventional interviews.

I guess we’re meant to hate Bobbi Althoff bc she supposedly to Funny Marco’s style and gentrified it. But Funny Marco didn’t originate that style at all. I saw it first with Galfianakis and Between Two Ferns, and that’s prob not even the origin. Relax.

Bobbi also interviewed celebrity guests like Charlie Puth, Maluma, and Marc Cuban. However, folks really took notice of interviews with Shaq, Armani White, Tyga, Lil Yachty, and most recently, Offset.

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

Everybody Is Having Different Reactions To Bobbi Althoff's Interview With Scarlett Johansson

Have you heard of the sarcastic podcast interviews of Bobbi Althoff?

Bobbi is a social media personality who originally began as a mom influencer on TikTok.

The 26-year-old mother of two eventually pivoted to interviewing celebrities — like Tammin Sursok, who played Jenna Marshall on Pretty Little Liars — on her new show, The Really Good Podcast.

People quickly took notice of Bobbi's controversial interviewing style: deadpan humor and disinterest in her celebrity guests. This style of comedy isn't new and was popularized long before she entered the picture.

Then, she gained more popularity after she landed an interview with Drake.

Bobbi also interviewed celebrity guests like Charlie Puth, Maluma, and Marc Cuban. However, folks really took notice of interviews with Shaq, Armani White, Tyga, Lil Yachty, and most recently, Offset.

Then, a clip of Bobbi's interview with Scarlet Johansson went viral, and many fans quickly pointed out differences between her previous interviews.

Aside from her alleged lack of "awkwardness" in the Scarlet interview, some people even questioned if the interview was different based on race.

There were other fans who saw no difference and came to the defense of the podcaster:

Since it's only a snippet of interview with Scarlet, I think it's hard to say if there's truly a difference between her other interviews with predominately Black male celebrities, however, the conversation will surely make me look a little closer.

Let's stay tuned to see how the conversation plays out once the full episode is released.
