Glaser and Schaefer have hosted a weekly podcast, "You Had to Be There," since January 2011. While Glaser and Schaefer were partaking in an interview on Katie Couric's talk show, Katie, Couric surprised the duo with the news about the series' second season renewal, with the second and final season premiering July 30, 2013.
Reception
The series has received positive reviews. Anna Brand of The Daily Beast cited hosts Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer's "refreshing lack of diva behavior," "harmless sarcasm," and real-life "closeness" as crucial elements to the success of the show, which she deemed "late-night TV's best-kept secret." Jezebel writer Erin Gloria Ryan called the show "pretty great, like having a slumber party with the girls you thought you were never cool enough to be friends in high school with but who turn out to be super nice."
