♪ >>> HANNAH BERNER IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW. SHE IS A SOCIAL MEDIA STAR. YOU MAY KNOW HER FROM THREE SEASONS ON BRAVO'S SUMMER HOUSE. SINCE THEN SHE HAS TAKEN THE STANDUP WORLD BY STORM. >> VARIETY NAMED HER ONE OF THE TOP TEN COMICS TO WATCH. NOW SHE HAS A NETFLIX COMEDY SPECIAL, "HANNAH BERNER: WE RIDE AT DAWN." SHE TALKS ABOUT LOTS OF THINGS, LIKE HOW BACHELORETTE PARTIES ARE REALLY JUST CULTS. TAKE A LOOK. >> STEPHANIE CHOOSES YOU. TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER. AND THEN SHE TAKES YOU TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA. YOU ARE DEHYDRATED, SUNBURNED, SCARED, BLACKED OUT, LOST TWO THOID AND INJURY JOB. IF YOU LOOK AT ANOTHER BRIDESMAID AND YOU ARE LIKE, IS THIS A LOT? SHE WILL BE LIKE, DO YOU NOT SUPPORT STEPHANIE? >> MY GOSH. YOU ARE TOTALLY ON POINT. >> WE ARE OBSESSED WITH YOU. >> I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU GUYS. >> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE? TO GET A NETFLIX SPECIAL -- >> IS IMPOSSIBLE. >> YOU DID IT. >> YOU HAVE TO LIKE MURDER SOMEONE TO GET A NETFLIX SPECIAL NOWADAYS. I DID IT THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY. I TRIED TO WRITE SOMETHING. I DIDN'T ANTICIPATE IT. COMEDY, YOU CAN'T PLAN THE STEPS. YOU KIND OF KEEP TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AND KEEP CREATING. YOU FEEL LUCKY THAT SOMETHING STARTED IN MY HEAD IS ON AT SCREEN FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH. >> I WONDER IF IT WAS ALWAYS IN THERE. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU PLAYED TENNIS SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL AND YOU LOVED IT SO MUCH. THAT'S THE PATH YOU GO ON. >> I WANTED TO BE SERENA WILLIAMS. THINGS WENT AWRY. >> BUT YOU WERE A GREAT PLAYER. >> IT WAS MY DREAM. >> YOU DID GET HIT BY A CAR? >> I GOT HIT BY A CAR, WHICH IS MY BIG EXCUSE WHY I DIDN'T GO PRO. I PLAYED FOR THE WISCONSIN BADGERS ON A FULL RIDE. IT'S A GOOD LESSON, THAT WAS MY DREAM AND SOMETIMES I FELT LIKE I WAS A FAILURE BECAUSE I DIDN'T BECOME THE CHAMPION AT WIMBLEDON. WHAT MADE ME GOOD AT TENNIS HELPED ME. I HAD A SILLY SIDE THAT I WAS SUPPRESSING. I WOULD GET IN TROUBLE SOMETIMES WORKING OUT, I WOULD BE LAUGHING TOP. THEY WOULD BE LIKE, HANNAH, YOU HAVE TO RUN LAPS. I WASN'T ALWAYS DOING WHAT AWAS MEANT TO DO. I WAS MEANT TO BE MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH. >> IN YOU SOMEWHERE THERE WAS A COMEDIAN. WERE YOU MAKING -- THE TYPE THAT MADE YOUR PARENTS LAUGH WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE? >> I THINK I -- I AM FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. WE BUST EACH OTHER'S CHOPS. ALWAYS MAKING FUN OF EACH OTHER. THE ONE THING YOU CAN CONTROL IN LIFE, DO I WANT TO LAUGH OR CRY ABOUT THIS? I TRY TO LAUGH MORE THAN CRY. >> TO GET FROM DREAMING ABOUT IT TO HAVING A NETFLIX SPECIAL DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. YOU WENT DOWN THE BRAVO TV ROUTE. >> DID YOU LIKE THAT? >> I ACTUALLY WHEN I SAW THE CAMERAS WAS LIKE, I LOVE THIS. I WAS LIKE, WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO YELL AT? I WAS LIKE, WAIT, THIS IS REALLY DRAMATIC. EVERYONE IS MAD AT ME. IT WAS SO -- IT WAS TOO MUCH. I ACTUALLY, I LOVED MAKING THE PRODUCERS LAUGH AND THE CAMERA GUYS LAUGH AND MY BEST FRIEND LAUGH. >> YOUR BEST FRIEND IS PAIGE, WHO HAS BEEN ON OUR SHOW. >> SHE IS THE FASHION ICON. >> YES. >> I GOT PAIGE TO GET A CAT. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT. >> WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S THE SUMMER OF CAT. WHAT DID YOU CALL IT? >> CAT GIRL SUMMER. CATS GET BAD PR. HODA AND I WERE ARGUING ABOUT IT. >> YOUR CAT IS BEAUTIFUL. >> HER NAME IS BUTTER. I LOVE A FOOD NAME FOR A CAT. FOUND IN A DUMPSTER IN THE BRONX. SHE IS FROM THE GARBAGE. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW SHE IS A GOOD CAT. CATS, THEY FIND THEM EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE SO MANY CATS AND THEY ARE SO CUTE AND I WANT TO SAVE THEM ALL. REMEMBER THAT MEME OF A GIRL WHO CRIED ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE LOVED CATS? >> THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME. MY CAT IS NAMED AFTER A FOOD, TOO, MANGO. HOLLYWOOD, MANGO. >> SHE HAS TWO CATS. >> AND SPOON. >> HOW DID YOU CONVINCE PAIGE TO GET A CAT? SHE DIDN'T WANT ONE. >> IT TOOK SIX YEARS. I WOULD SEND HER PHOTOS. I WAS DOING ALL KINDS OF THINGS. BUT I JOKE THAT CATS HAVE BAD PR. >> THEY DO. >> LIKE DOGS GET THE PUPPY BOWL AND "MARLEY & ME." >> IT'S TRUE. >> CATS HAVE A MUSICAL. >> A MUSICAL. LIKE, IT LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE BOX OFFICE. IT WAS HORRIBLE FOR THE CAT BRAND. >> SHE IS RIGHT. >> WE NEED TO HIRE THE PICKLEBALL TEAM FOR CATS. THAT WILL BE HUGE. >> TALK ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND. >> OF COURSE. >> WHEN I SAID THAT, LIKE THAT SOUNDS CREEPY. >> WE LOVE TALKING ABOUT HIM. >> HOW DID YOU MEET? >> HE IS A COMEDIAN. IT WAS ACTUALLY COVID. WE BOTH WERE IN LONG ISLAND DOING NOTHING. HE WAS LIKE, DO YOU WANT TO GET COFFEE? >> WAIT. THAT'S NOT HOW IT HAPPENED. >> WE HEARD HE -- >> HOW DID YOU MEET HIM IN THE BEGINNING? >> IT'S CRAZY. SHOUT OUT NIKKI GLASER. I WAS IN THE BACKGROUND OF HER INSTAGRAM STORY AND HE SAW ME ON IT AND ADDED ME. SO THANK YOU. SHOUT OUT. >> THEN HE SLID INTO YOUR DMs? >> YES. >> DID HE SAY YOU WANT TO HAVE COFFEE THERE? >> HE LITERALLY SAID, DO YOU WANT TO HAVE COFFEE. WE WERE ENGAGED AFTER SIX MONTHS. >> YOU ARE KIDDING. >> HE DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME LEFT. YOU SET ME UP FOR THAT. >> YOU SAY THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD FIND AN OLDER MAN? >> I THINK AS SOMEONE IN MY 30s, I WAS LIKE IT'S NICE TO DATE SOMEONE WHO I RESPECT MENTALLY, BECAUSE YOU WANT IT -- AND I HAVE A JOKE IN THE SPECIAL. WE ARE TRAINED TO LIKE A DISNEY PRINCE. THE TALL GUY WHO HAS CLOUT AND WHATEVER. I WANT A NICE SMART MAN. AND I THINK SOME OF THESE OLDER MEN, THEY ARE TIRED. THEY ARE PRE-TRAINED BY PREVIOUS GIRLS THEY DATED WHO TAUGHT THEM EVERYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO MUCH. HE IS INDEPENDENT. HE HAD TO SURVIVE MANY YEARS. I FEEL LIKE I AM KILLING IT. >> YOU ARE. YOU ARE KILLING IT. >> APPLAUSE BREAKS. THIS IS CRAZY. I MAY DO MY OPEN MICS HERE. >> WE LOVE YOU. HANNAH. >> CONGRATS. YOU ARE SUCH FUN. I WATCHED YOUR SPECIAL AND I PEED MY PANTS.
