Hannah Stocking Gets Dubbed the Female Willy Wonka on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB
A tadpole tattoo and a chocolate factory raid become the evidence in Ben Gleib's latest theory.
Host Ben Gleib built a case for a new nickname during a Nightcap segment on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB, arriving at the conclusion that guest Hannah Stocking is the female Willy Wonka. Gleib laid out his evidence piece by piece, pointing to what he described as Stocking's cartoonish life and a meaningful tadpole tattoo before landing on the detail that sealed the theory: her dad literally ran a chocolate factory.
Stocking's history with the factory includes raiding it after school as a kid, a habit that continued until, as described, the trauma set in. The detail fits a pattern from Stocking's appearances on the show, where she has repeatedly shared unexpected personal stories, from her volleyball-scholarship-era brushes with police in Oregon to rescuing 18 cats off the street in a single month.
Stocking has built a following of 74 million people online, making her one of the most prominent internet comedy figures to appear on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB. She has become a recurring guest on the program, previously walking Gleib through the labor behind her viral video montages and fielding questions about how AI has affected her practical-effects-driven comedy work.
The Willy Wonka bit aired as part of the show's Nightcap after-party segment, with the full exclusive post-party experience available to subscribers on the show's Patreon.
