You're right.

But it's not just that. She has a really good personality, and she is hilarious. She's simply fun to watch and listen to- which is the only thing needed to be an entertainer.

Pam Anderson got spotted by a camera man in a stadium, he put her on the Jumbotron, and she became one of the most famous celebrities in the US.

Norma Jeane (Marilyn Monroe) was just working in a munitions factory when a photographer took her picture.

Danny Trejo was an ex-con and drug counselor who was at a film set because he was helping an actor deal with addiction, and they decided to use him as an extra.

Funny story... Back when you could rent the dvds at the video store, I saw what I thought was Blair Witch Project on the shelf. So I rented it, and brought it home. Put it in, and sat down with the wife and some popcorn...

Turns out, I rented the Blair Wench Project. The wife was not amused. I never did get to watch it to the end, unfortunately. Nor did I find out why it was sitting in the horror aisle instead of the whore aisle. 😔

Wasn’t he a director himself though? I thought his first film credits were his own movies but I could be wrong.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '24

This is what his Wiki says. Looks like he was a struggling actor, decided to write, direct, and star in a couple movies.

Then Steven Spielberg saw him in one of those movies and cast him in Saving Private Ryan.

Don't know much about him as a person but it seems like he came from nothing and did the hard work that put him in a position to be "discovered".

Vin Diesel - Wikipedia

Diesel's first film role was as an uncredited extra in the drama film Awakenings in 1990. After several years of struggle to gain acting roles, Diesel decided to make his own short film to secure funds for his feature film debut. In 1994, he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the short drama film Multi-Facial, a semi-autobiographical film which follows a struggling multiracial actor stuck in the audition process. The film was selected for screening at the 1995 Cannes Festival. As well as acting, Vin Diesel supported himself by working as a bouncer and telemarketer selling lightbulbs.

In 1997, Diesel secured funds to make his first feature-length film, Strays, an urban drama in which he played a gang leader whose love for a woman inspires him to try to change his ways. Written, directed, and produced by Diesel, the film was selected for competition at the 1997 Sundance Festival, leading to an MTV deal to turn it into a series which never came to fruition. Director Steven Spielberg took notice of Diesel after seeing him in Multi-Facial and cast him in a small role as a soldier in his 1998 Oscar-winning war film Saving Private Ryan. This marked Diesel's first major Hollywood film role. In 1999, he provided the voice of the title character in the animated film The Iron Giant.

She's legit hilarious. Whitney Cummings when inviting her to open at her standup in Nashville, said something like, I don't even need to write jokes for you, just say this shit. Then Whitney facetimed Welch's crush, Matt Rife, and Welch basically introduced herself by saying "I'm a crackbaby with no braincells!". And she is apparently, actually a crackbaby. So that was the first impression she gave to her celebrity crush when he was unexpectedly facetimed. She's just fuckin hilarious.

In my defense, I keep up on Bill Maher only because he’s watched by my 68y/o conservative coworker who’s an old school brawler with a heart of gold who tries his best to understand the other side of the fence that he was “raised up on.”

I view/ed Bill’s stances as fun subjective commentary that I can spin with enough “wiggle/elbow” room to allow for fun and valid arguments. Imagine barbershop politics. My co-worker is a hard ass who likes to bust your chops but follows it up with the most insightful encouragement you could receive..

However, Maher’s attempted “Hawk Tuah” mentorship interview really put me off.

Pretty sure her mom was homeless and she dropped out of college to help out with family stuff. She seems like a good person too, and the reaction against her oftentimes feels mean and overblown.

Dudes have ridden dick jokes to fame and haven’t received a fraction of the backlash and belittlement that she has. That double standard really rubs me the wrong way.

A couple nights ago I had the same question and was curious, so I gave her first episode a watch, totally expecting to just have it playing in the background and tuning out. Next thing I knew, it was 3am and I had already watched all 3 of her episodes. I was bummed i was already caught up and now had to wait for new episodes to drop.

As I watched her podcast, It became clear almost instantly why her fame has evolved so rapidly. She shines! Her personality is so much fun, easy and relatable. She’s just a normal girl with normal friends that are just winging this overnight success thing and very honest about that. I find myself rooting for her and her friends.

Also, she talks about her and “Pookie” a lot.

Who’s Pookie, you ask? No one has a clue 😂

Right? I’m getting tired of the “good for her” comments.

Sure she’s not a malevolent fucker like Carlson, but she’s still a symptom of our country’s sickness.

u/Bencetown Oct 02 '24

OK, that was a lot of words to say she has a nice personality. But what does she talk about?

u/likebuttuhbaby Oct 02 '24

I heard her on the radio guest DJing. Her answers to the regular DJ’s questions/prompts were brief but they had a ton of charisma. She seemed to converse so effortlessly compared to other ‘flashes in the pan’.

Reminds me of the hate train for the iZombie TV show before it aired. People said it looked horrible.

Once it aired though, the reviews called it charming and it was a success.

You've interested me I'll check her out

u/ThePennedKitten Oct 02 '24

Oh wow, thanks for this! That’s interesting. So, someone with an attractive personality got a chance and it worked out for her. Interesting.

u/PartyPorpoise Oct 02 '24

A lot of people who become memes try to make money from it, but very few manage to take it very far. I figure that she must have something else going for her if she's managed to find this much success. The meme opened the door for her, but she get herself through.

She has deep insights on neural networks and the shortcomings of current developer mindsets on their deployment.

u/jakethesnake949 Oct 02 '24

As a man, I'm not even interested in her sexually but I've genuinely been in a "I need to hear more" situation with almost every snippet of podcast she has been in. She's kinda fascinating: to see someone be so ignorant yet pretty intelligent, so out there yet so relatable. She's a literal personality and she might not be that way for everyone because they already know a crazy character like her but she coincidentally just took off for not being afraid to just say something stupid.

u/LongTallDingus Oct 01 '24

She wouldn't be finding success if she wasn't an engaging person. I'm not going to sit down with a talk variety show about 20~somethin' stuff on any sorta regular basis, but I did sit through an episode.

She's pretty good at being a presenter, holding the conversation when she needs to, and passing the ball. Experiences in her life before this developed the ability to host a show like this.

I give her two thumbs up. Way to go. Saw an opportunity, took it, and is succeeding not just because of the opportunity, but because of who she is.

u/Diamondhands_Rex Oct 01 '24

Honestly the people shouldn’t underestimate her just because of her 15 minutes of fame bit. As far I can tell she’s smart enough to keep this ball rolling and develop herself into something else. I say good on her and hope she can keep up the good work and she uses her platform for good.

u/bitchman194639348 Oct 01 '24 edited 3d ago

She will be forgotten in 6 months.

Edit: given how her crypto scam is going right now... 4 months would have been a better guess

Thank God a breath of fresh air from someone who can make an objective observation about the rare skill of being a natural broadcaster.

I'd challenge anyone who doubts her (or myself for that matter) to hold court on microphone for 5 minutes. AND THEN maintain the flow of conversation without dead air.

It's a gift.

Ill play Devil’s Advocate:

What made the original video funny was how spontaneous and unexpected her answer was, it was hilarious.

Most of these viral people in the past would have flamed out by now, but she’s done some interviews and she has shown she is actually a very charismatic and funny personality all the time. She gained an audience, her podcast was heavily publicized so a lot of eyes were on it. She has a couple entertaining/fun first few episodes, and boom thats it. If she is a good podcast host then more fucking power to her dude.

She isnt saying “hawk tuah” like Bart Simpson, she is just as entertaining as any other comedian led podcast.

I dont see any reason to hate on this woman. She didnt drag her joke into the ground, the media did, she saw an opportunity and capitalized. Every single one of us would do that

Didn't do a deep dive to fact check this, but here is what I found. I do not know what the timeframe basis is for these rankings.

77 across all categories on Apple podcast.

5 on Spotify in America

9 on Spotify in Canada

17 on Spotify in the UK

u/Alien_invader44 Oct 01 '24

Yeah this is quirk of the algorithms. Basically every new podcast jumps up the rankings because it tracks increases in popularity and any number of listeners is a big increase from 0.

It's ironic that this is a realitively well known thing but everyone is taking it as evidence for idiocracy.

"how is this even possible?"

Because you keep advertising for her...

Let's be happy for her success, and let her make the most out of the opportunities her life have given her. She seems like a genuinely good person who, I would argue, is worth being given the attention and a platform to well before the ones above her on the list.

It's a car crash. People are slowing down to look. If they stick around for another 6 months, then she has something that's entertaining and people want to watch or listen to.

Look at Meghan Markle and her podcast and shows. They ran up to the top of podcasts and shows when first aired. It didn't take long to see they were empty and not entertaining (no energy) at all. At least, Hailey is putting in the effort and time.
