‘Giggly Squad’: Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo on Being in Your 30s, Writing a Book and Their Huge Podcast: ‘We Are Not Professional’
variety.comEmiliana Betancourt Podcasters Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo — of “Giggly Squad” fame — held a live session of their podcast for UCLA students on Sunday.
The show, sponsored by Uber One for Students, followed their podcast’s typical carefree, comedic style. They sat on a decorated gold stage, from which they dished out their opinions on current events, such as convicted felon Anna Delvey on “Dancing With The Stars” and Brad Pitt and his girlfriend photographed looking not-so-happy in Italy.
DeSorbo and Berner also picked each other’s best and worst-dressed moments, which generated a lot of laughs from the audience, and an unexpectedly adorable segment on “Is your boyfriend trash?” where they singled out a boyfriend in the crowd and quizzed him on some dos and don’ts.
DeSorbo, 31, and Berner, 33, became friends while working at a New York City media company, and then started their television careers in 2019 as castmates on Bravo’s “Summer House.” They created “Giggly Squad” during the pandemic, and it now ranks in the Top 20 in comedy podcasts in the United States.
