Why Hannah Berner Says She Was Booed at Comedy Show
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Comedian Hannah Berner said she was booed during a performance in New Hampshire after she celebrated the New York Knicks because the people in the audience were Boston Celtics fans, which the Knicks had just beaten in their first series. "The Knicks are playing while I'm on. Okay. And you know, I'm being silly. I'm being goofy on stage. I go anyone, anyone know the Knicks score?" Berner said on Tuesday's episode of Giggly Squad podcast. "1,700 girls start booing me because New Hampshire, I forget because I'm a dumb New Yorker." The Context Berner has been performing comedy for years in New York City, where she lives, and around the country. She even recently opened for comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Her sets often revolve around what's happening in her personal life, whether that's her relationship with her husband, comedian Des Bishop, or the New York Knicks, who have a huge rivalry with the Boston Celtics. What To Know Berner, who was raised in Brooklyn, is a big Knicks fan and told co-host Paige DeSorbo she wasn't thinking about her audience when she brought the Knicks up the other night while on stage. She said she "lost the crowd" for a second and joked about how she apologized, praised Larry Bird and joked about Bill Belichick's girlfriend. In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks beat the Celtics in the sixth game of the series with four wins to the Celtics' two. After two losses to the Indiana Pacers, the Knicks won in Indiana on Monday, marking a huge moment for fans who were disheartened by the first two games.

Jamie McCarthy/WireImage During Tuesday's podcast, DeSorbo joked that it's a "sports podcast" and said she cried when the Knicks won on Monday. "I'm locked in, Hannah," DeSorbo said. "I'm dialed in." Berner noted that the Knicks have been "a very bad team for a long time," which was news to DeSorbo. But, she added that New York fans also love a "storyline" and a comeback. What People Are Saying DeSorbo on Tuesday's Giggly Squad podcast: "I've been at other sporting events in different cities. New York Fans are different. It's just different. It's a different electricity. It's a different feeling." Berner on Tuesday's Giggly Squad podcast: "We love a chant. We love to be passionate and we love to trash talk." What Happens Next Berner recently announced a new comedy tour across the country.

These High Tax States Could Benefit the Most From Higher SALT Deduction
There's a new bill in Washington that's become the subject of some ugly debate. In a surprising twist, the fate of the current House Republican tax package might hinge on a proposal to raise the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap. Under current law, homeowners can deduct up to $10,000 in combined state income and property taxes on their federal return—a limit set by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. But that cap is set to expire, and a bloc of House Republicans from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California are threatening to derail the package unless the SALT cap is raised or scrapped entirely. The current proposal would raise the deduction limit from $10,000 to $30,000, but some lawmakers argue that still falls short of providing meaningful relief for their constituents. If the measure passes, however, here are the areas that can benefit the most. Property taxes have been something of an albatross around the neck of homeowners. After the equity boom following the COVID-19 pandemic pushed home prices (and tax assessments) to new heights, homeowners have been left footing the bill for higher taxes. Many state and local governments have responded by passing exemptions that lower the taxable value of homes, particularly for seniors and longtime residents who have owned their homes for decades or more. But there hasn't been the kind of national relief that could provide a meaningful resolution for U.S. homeowners now sitting on (and paying taxes on) $35 trillion of residential real estate wealth. Enter the SALT cap. The federal limit on state and local tax deductions has been a sore spot for homeowners in high-tax states where their annual property tax bill exceeds the $10,000 threshold. Removing or raising that cap could offer much-needed breathing room. But the implications go beyond individual tax bills. Easing the SALT deduction limit could also help unstick a sluggish housing market by unlocking more buying power. 'This deduction could also help some owners move up,' explains senior economist Joel Berner. By boosting buying power, the expanded deduction could motivate some homeowners to part with their historically low mortgage rates and move into the new home they want or need—freeing up inventory for other hopeful buyers. How much could it help? Berner offers a scenario: 'Suppose someone owns a $1,000,000 home and decided to put all the tax savings into the monthly mortgage payment for their next home—that $7,000 per year would increase their home price budget to about $1.1 million, or 10%.' In a tight market where affordability is stretched and inventory is limited, that kind of financial flexibility could be the nudge both sellers and buyers need. 'Increasing the SALT cap from $10,000 to $30,000 or more would have the most impact on homeowners in high-tax states and in high-dollar homes,' says Berner. 'An additional $20,000 in deductions could be worth about $7,000 in annual tax savings for these individuals (assuming a 35% federal tax rate).' But that relief won't be equally felt across the country. That's because some states and counties have much lower property values and tax rates, so homeowners don't pay over the current $10,000 cap. Take Daniel Cabrera, founder and CEO of Fire Damage House Buyer, for example. As a resident of San Antonio, TX, he pays about $7,000 a year in property taxes—well within the current limit of SALT deductions. But his New Jersey–based parents pay roughly $17,000 a year in property taxes. 'With the present $10,000 SALT limit and 35% federal income tax rate, they lose the ability to claim about $7,000,' he explains. That $7,000 hits especially hard as his parents near retirement. 'There's been just constant conversations about them coming down here to Texas,' he says. That's because Texas not only has a lower overall property tax burden than New Jersey, but also offers a range of local exemptions for seniors that can significantly reduce their tax bills. Who will benefit from SALT deductions largely depends on where they live and what their current tax burden is. An analysis from pinpoints the top five states and 10 metro areas with the highest share of properties that exceed the current SALT cap. State Share of properties with tax bills over $10K NJ 39.9% NY 25.9% CT 19.4% CA 19.3% MA 18.4% Metropolitan Statistical Area Share of properties with tax bills over $10K San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA 47.9% New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ 47.8% San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA 40.9% Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, CT 39.3% Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh, NY 37.5% Trenton-Princeton, NJ 35.8% Nantucket, MA 35.5% Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX 32% Jackson, WY-ID 28.7% Santa Cruz-Watsonville, CA 28.1% The debate over the current tax package—including changes to the SALT deduction—is still unfolding. With only $50 billion in negotiating room left, it's unclear whether that will be enough to appease lawmakers from high-tax states. If not, their opposition could be significant enough to derail the entire bill. But homeowners don't have to wait for federal tax relief. A analysis found that nearly 40% of Americans might be overpaying on property taxes—and could save money by appealing their tax assessments. A new tool makes the process easier: Homeowners can compare their property's assessed value to similar nearby homes and use that data as evidence in their appeal. It's a simple, data-driven way to push back against rising tax bills, no legislation required.

Paige DeSorbo Shares What It Was Like to Overcome a Panic Attack While Touring: "My Hands Were Numb, I Was Crying, Throwing Up"
Reality TV might be all glitz and glamour on the outside, but Paige DeSorbo is revealing a raw and very real moment that fans didn't get to see. The recently appeared on Good Hang, podcast host Amy Poehler's podcast, and spoke candidly about having a panic attack during her podcast tour for Giggly Squad. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Revealing the backstage experience from a Denver show, DeSorbo showed how overwhelmed things got before going on stage. "We're going on stage in like fifteen minutes and I'm like, 'No. I think I'm having a panic attack. My hands are numb, I'm crying, I'm throwing up,'" she recalled, describing the moment of pure anxiety. Her co-host and good friend, comedian Hannah Berner, tried to calm the situation with spa music and soothing vibes—but chaos didn't end there. While DeSorbo was having her meltdown, Berner also realized she had left behind the shirt she was going to wear on stage. The only option available? A silk pajama top from the merch stash at the venue. Even though she was in the midst of a panic attack, DeSorbo still couldn't resist chiming in: "You can't wear that shirt on stage!" she instructed Berner, who burst out laughing at the double irony of being dress-policed by a person in crisis. Fortunately, DeSorbo had a backup T-shirt stashed in her purse, which Berner quickly covered up before the two women plowed forward with the performance. When the panic attack reached its climax, DeSorbo called her mom too—only to experience a clash of generations when it came to mental health. "All I'm hearing is, 'Paige, stop. Paige, stop it. You're fine,'" Berner relayed, with a chuckle adding that it only made things worse. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now DeSorbo interjected, laughing, "She's like, 'Panic attacks aren't real.'" Berner continued, "She's like, 'Back in my day, we sucked it up.'" In spite of the chaos, the tale is one of friendship, perseverance, and the little-known mental health issues performers endure—particularly when lights are on and pressure is intense. Paige DeSorbo's openness assures fans that even those in the spotlight experience self-doubt and overwhelm at times—and that a spare T-shirt and shared laughter can be enough to survive.
