Bobbi Althoff also gave Marco a plastic bag full of cash during their interview.

Bobbi Althoff has denied the claims she copied Funny Marco's interview style, arguing that she had never heard of him before she started her own show. She discussed the accusations while speaking with the comedian on his podcast, Open Thoughts.

“I say to that, that you took my stuff,” she joked during the episode. “No, I know you didn’t. But to be fair, I couldn’t take your stuff because I had never seen you at all when I was already doing [videos].” She added that she found Marco's work through a friend who described the two of them as "so similar."
