Its first episode was recorded on September 1, 2015, and it still releases a new episode every Wednesday, most recently TigerBelly 579 with actress Liza Soberano on November 4, 2026, per the show’s feed.

Questions people ask
What is TigerBelly? What is the TigerBelly podcast?
TigerBelly is a weekly comedy podcast hosted by comedian Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn, which its own feed describes as “a no-holds-barred arena for half truths, social no-nos, and animal behavior,” released every Wednesday since 2015. Most episodes are long, loose conversations with a comedian or actor, such as Sacha Baron Cohen on October 28, 2026, and some are “family episodes” with the crew, like the Hawaii episode of September 16, 2026. The show calls its world and its fans the Slept Kingdom, and its notes carry announcements from “The Slept King.” We did not find the meaning of the name explained in the show’s own notes. This page is about the podcast, not any restaurant or other business with a similar name.
Who is on TigerBelly now? Who is in the TigerBelly cast in 2026?
As of November 2026, TigerBelly is hosted by Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn, and the show’s credits name four recurring cast members: Jaime Garcia, Rudy Jules, Gilbert Galon and producer George Kimmel, credited as “PD George.” That list comes from the credits on TigerBelly 551 (April 22, 2026), the latest full credits in the show’s feed. The September 16, 2026 Hawaii family episode was billed with “Bobo, Khaloko, Jules & Gilbo,” and the July 15, 2026 crew episode with “Bobby, Khalyla, Jules, and Luke.” Not every cast member is in every episode; most weeks are Lee and a guest.
Is Khalyla still on TigerBelly? Did Khalyla leave TigerBelly?
As of November 2026, Khalyla Kuhn has not left TigerBelly: the show’s description still features “comedian Bobby Lee and his best friend Khalyla,” per its feed and Apple Podcasts, and we found no announcement from her or the show that she stepped away. Khalyla Kuhn is named in 2026 episodes including The Hawaii Interrogation (April 8), an episode with Matteo Lane and Nick Smith (May 27), a crew episode (July 15) and a Hawaii family episode (September 16). Many weekly notes name only Lee and the guest, so the notes do not show every episode she sits in on. She was born in Cebu, Philippines, per Famous Birthdays, and lives in Hawaii, per Beauty Independent, which in February 2026 still described her as TigerBelly’s co-host. She also co-hosts Trash Tuesday with Esther Povitsky.
What happened between Bobby Lee and Khalyla on TigerBelly?
Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn, TigerBelly’s hosts, announced the end of their relationship on the show itself, in episode 355, Bobby & Khalyla Break Up, released July 6, 2022, per the show’s feed; Famous Birthdays says they began dating in 2013 and broke up in 2022. Professionally, nothing ended: they still host TigerBelly together as of November 2026. We found no accepted outlet that reported a reason, so we do not give one. More is in the Khalyla Kuhn and Bobby Lee entries.
Did Jaime leave TigerBelly? Who is Jaime, and when did he join?
As of November 2026, Jaime Garcia has not left TigerBelly: he is credited as “Jaime Garcia” in the show’s April 2026 credits and named in the October 14, 2026 episode notes, per the feed. Older notes spell his name Jamie. He first appears in the notes in November 2023; on February 21, 2024 the notes say he “gives us an update on his post-TigerBelly life,” and by April 10, 2024 they say “our friend Jamie is back.” Through 2024 and 2025 he is named in many episode notes, from eating sushi for the first time to pitching a theme song to Josh Peck. The show has not said what his earlier role was, and his credits link him to the FatFish podcast.
Who is Kat on TigerBelly?
TigerBelly has not credited anyone named Kat as a cast member as of November 2026, so we cannot say who searchers mean. What is public: the notes for the September 9, 2026 episode with Sam Tallent list “awkward Kat encounters” among the topics, per the show’s feed, and the show’s April 2026 cast credits name Jaime Garcia, Rudy Jules, Gilbert and PD George, with no Kat. If the show credits her, this page will say so.
Did George or Gilbert leave TigerBelly? What happened to Gilbert?
As of November 2026, neither George Kimmel nor Gilbert Galon has left TigerBelly that we can find: both are in the show’s April 2026 credits, as “PD George” and Gilbert, per the feed. Gilbert has been part of the show since 2015 and is listed as the feed’s owner contact; he was in the September 16, 2026 Hawaii family episode, and the notes for that episode and for October 14, 2026 discuss his amateur MMA fight. A George has been named in the notes since February 2016, and episode 255, in July 2020, was billed “with George Kimmel”; the June 26, 2024 notes list “the Bobby & George fight” among the topics. We found no announcement that either one left.
Is TigerBelly over or cancelled? Is TigerBelly still going?
TigerBelly is not over or cancelled: as of November 2026 it still releases a new episode every Wednesday, most recently TigerBelly 579 with Liza Soberano on November 4, 2026, per the show’s feed. Before that came Sacha Baron Cohen on October 28 and Sam Morril on October 21. Apple Podcasts lists the show as running from 2015 to 2026. We found no announcement of an ending from the hosts or the publisher.
When did TigerBelly start, and how many episodes are there?
TigerBelly started in September 2015: its first episode was recorded on September 1, 2015 and released September 17, 2015, per the show’s feed. As of November 2026 the numbered episodes have reached #579 (November 4, 2026), and Apple Podcasts lists 597 episodes, a count that includes bonus and special episodes. The show passed 100 episodes in July 2017, 400 in May 2023 and 500 in April 2025, when it marked the milestone with a MADtv reunion.
Who owns TigerBelly? Who produces it?
TigerBelly has no published ownership filing that we could find; it is hosted by Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn, and Apple Podcasts lists All Things Comedy as its publisher as of November 2026. The show’s feed names Gilbert Galon as its owner contact at an All Things Comedy email address, and its credits name George Kimmel as “PD George.” The credits also list editor Can Nguyen, branding by Dinger Creative and a title sequence by Travis Ragsdale. On March 15, 2023 the episode notes announced that TigerBelly was “now part of the @WonderyMedia family.” No dollar figure for any deal has been published.
How much does TigerBelly make?
TigerBelly does not publish its revenue and neither do we. What is public, per the show’s feed: it runs host-read ads, with sponsors in fall 2026 episodes including Shopify, BlueChew, ButcherBox, PrizePicks, Kalshi, Bilt and Hims; it sells merch through Slept Kingdom; it sold premium episodes on Patreon from 2018 to 2021; and it has sold live show tickets, as with the 400th episode in May 2023.
When do TigerBelly episodes come out, where can I watch, and where is it filmed?
TigerBelly releases a new episode every Wednesday, per its feed, on podcast apps such as Apple Podcasts and in video on the TigerBelly YouTube channel, which has about 1.03 million subscribers and about 1,300 videos as of November 2026; since April 2026 the video version is also on Spotify, per the episode notes. The show does not publish where its studio is; its mailing address is in Hollywood, California, and it has recorded episodes on the road, including in Hawaii (April and September 2026), Cebu in the Philippines (2022) and Joshua Tree (2021). Merch is sold at sleptkingdom.com.
What is the TigerBelly theme song, and who sings it?
TigerBelly’s early episode notes credit the show’s music to Bobby Lee: from episode 1 in September 2015, the notes end with “Music by Bobby Lee,” per the show’s feed. We did not find the theme’s title or a performer credit in the notes or in a source we accept, so we stop there. In August 2025 the notes say Jaime tried a theme song of his own on Josh Peck, who rejected it.
Did Khalyla from TigerBelly have a baby? Who is she dating?
Not something we cover.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with TigerBelly. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. A hangout show that runs on Bobby Lee losing the thread and the room pulling him back. Kuhn steers and teases, the crew members who work the show get pulled onto the mic, and a celebrity guest walks into whatever is already going on. Family episodes, road trips and milestone shows give long-time listeners a reason to stay through more than ten years of Wednesdays.
Why it travels. The story people already know does a lot of the work: two hosts who broke up on air in July 2022 and kept making the show anyway, which is why “is Khalyla still on TigerBelly” is still searched. Add a channel of about 1.03 million subscribers, more than 1,300 videos and about 15,100 ratings at 4.8 on Apple Podcasts, and the show has a deep back catalog that keeps finding new listeners through clips.
Brand fit. Direct-to-consumer brands already buy here, with host reads in fall 2026 for Shopify, BlueChew, ButcherBox, PrizePicks, Kalshi and Hims. The show is explicit and the humor goes wherever Lee takes it, so family brands are a hard fit. Hair care competes with Kuhn’s own brand, Ebb Ocean Club, so that category is a hard sell too.
