Title: Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt Take Over Hosting Duties on “Bachelor Happy Hour” Podcast
The recent transition of Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt taking over hosting duties for Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast has caused quite a stir in Bachelor Nation. While the podcast primarily aims to cover the drama that unfolds on screen, this behind-the-scenes change has attracted attention and generated social media buzz.
Joe, 37, shared during an exclusive joint interview with Serena, 25, that he personally informed Becca about their new roles. Being friends with Becca and her fiancé, Thomas Jacobs, Joe had a candid conversation with her, which yielded positive feedback. Becca expressed her happiness for them and shared nothing but kind words. Thomas also took to social media to express his feelings about the transition.
News about Becca, who has been working on the podcast since 2020, and Michelle, who joined in 2022, departing as cohosts broke in June. Becca, who is currently expecting her first child with Thomas, assured their followers that they would not be tuning into the new season of “The Bachelorette.” Fans expressed the desire for Becca and Michelle to bid farewell properly, and Thomas echoed this sentiment in his online reply.
Joe later clarified that Thomas had personally reached out to them, emphasizing that they are on good terms and harbor no ill will toward him or Becca. Serena also expressed her professional admiration for Becca’s past work on “Happy Hour” and conveyed that their personal relationship is in a positive place. Michelle congratulated Joe and Serena through a personal message and comment on the podcast’s post, strengthening the bond between them.
Having met on season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise” and newly married, with plans for a September wedding celebration in Charleston, Joe and Serena are now focused on recapping Charity Lawson’s journey on the podcast. While Joe acknowledged that they may not necessarily be the “right” choice, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity and believes that there are other couples within the franchise who could also excel at hosting a podcast.
As the couple explores this new venture together, Joe highlighted that establishing their own podcast had been discussed earlier. They decided that despite work potentially mixing with their personal relationship, hosting a podcast that requires a few hours a week was manageable for them.
Overall, with their exciting new chapter as hosts of “Bachelor Happy Hour,” Joe and Serena are enthusiastic about the future and grateful for the opportunity to engage with fans and explore the world of podcasting.
