Bobbi Althoff (née Heck; born July 31, 1997) is an American podcaster and influencer known for her viral interviews with Drake, Lil Yachty, Offset, and other celebrities.

Early life Bobbi Heck was born July 31, 1997, in Moreno Valley and grew up in Perris, California. She is the second youngest of six children. After graduating from high school, she sought work as a nanny.

Career Althoff started posting content on TikTok in 2021 with a focus on sharing her pregnancy updates. Her first TikTok, which was of her dancing with a banana, reached nearly 2 million views. That February, Althoff announced she had filmed a pilot for her upcoming podcast. The full interview was later removed from Althoff's YouTube channel in August, which sparked rumors of a feud.

During her February 2024 interview with Sukihana, the interviewee appeared to confuse the words "musician" and "magician", becoming annoyed with Althoff for referring to her as the former. A snippet of the interview that included this apparent misunderstanding went viral.

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.

Because of Althoff's sudden rise to fame and interviews with high-profile celebrities, she has often been described as an industry plant.

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."

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.
