‘Not Suitable for Work’ Finale Surprises Fans With Unexpected Reality TV Cameo
The first season of Hulu’s hit comedy Not Suitable for Work has officially come to an end, and the finale gave viewers an unexpected surprise that quickly got fans talking online.
The final two episodes of the series were released on June 23, wrapping up the story of a group of young New Yorkers trying to balance demanding careers, friendships, and personal struggles. While many viewers tuned in to see how the season would end, some were surprised to spot familiar faces from reality television making a special appearance.
Summer House stars Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner showed up in the finale, playing fictionalized versions of themselves. The duo, who are also known for hosting the popular Giggly Squad podcast, appeared during a New Year’s Eve television special called “Hannah & Paige Drop the Ball.”
Their appearance brought a fun twist to the final episodes. During one scene, Paige and Hannah meet Wes and tell him it is an honor to have him on their show. Another character, Josh, quickly reveals that he is a loyal fan of their podcast, calling himself a “giggler,” a nickname often used by Giggly Squad listeners.
The cameo immediately caught the attention of fans, especially those who follow both the reality stars and the Hulu comedy. It was a brief appearance, but it added an extra layer of excitement to an already highly anticipated finale.
According to Deadline, series creator Mindy Kaling recently spoke about working with DeSorbo and Berner. During an interview published on June 22, Kaling shared how much she enjoyed having the pair on the show.
“I met them on this show first, Not Suitable For Work, we had them come in to guest star in the finale,” Kaling said. She went on to explain that she later worked with them again during a Netflix Is a Joke live event alongside Kate Hudson and Brenda Song. “I love them, they’re so funny, I love their podcast, I love their dynamic with each other,” Kaling added.
The appearance marks another major television project for DeSorbo and Berner, who continue to expand beyond reality television. Fans will also be seeing the duo on another Hulu project soon, as both are set to appear on the upcoming season of Project Runway.
Not Suitable for Work has become one of Hulu’s most talked-about new comedy series since its premiere earlier this month. Created by Mindy Kaling, the show follows a group of twenty-somethings trying to establish themselves professionally while dealing with the challenges of everyday life.
The cast includes Ella Hunt, Avantika Vandanapu, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay, Will Angus, and Jay Ellis. Throughout the season, viewers followed the characters as they navigated workplace pressure, friendships, romance, and uncertainty about the future.

The series has received attention for its relatable characters and modern look at life in your twenties. Many fans praised the show’s humor and honest approach to career struggles, helping it build a strong audience during its first season.
Now that all nine episodes are available to stream, viewers can finally watch the full story from beginning to end. And thanks to the surprise appearance from Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner, the finale delivered one last memorable moment before the credits rolled.
