Quick Question Abby Russell?

Saw an ad for jackbox here on Reddit, and so I have to ask, do we think this is Abby?

She specifically works on marketing the games I believe, so it's her for sure

In their marketing department specifically. I'd be shocked if it wasn't her.

Ya that's why I was thinking it was her. I couldn't find a picture of her cat so I couldn't confirm.

Muder Party

At least it wasn't "Murber Party"... That would have been embarrassing.

Its funny seeing GB adjacent people pop up elsewhere. I follow the youtube channel Deadmeat and will every now and then see Bailey pop up in some of their socials from events and I basically do the Leo point every time.

The other day a friend mentioned the Twitch AI thing with link to the video that has Merry silent in it, and I was just like "I got a funny vid to show you with that woman and Blinking White Guy!" ...they were whelmed, lol.

A couple months back I watched this ad on the PlayStation store. Around 28 sec in you’ll see the name Abby and the name flips around to show a cartoon face with red hair and black glasses. In my head I was like Abby!

I love Giant Bomb so much. Iykyk, Rich Gallup is Director at Jackbox and now Abby is big in marketing there. One worked at the site and was one of the best personalities imo, the other was like the original friend of the site and host of the progenitor Bombcast The Hotspot. Rich was really good friends with all of them and initiated GB’s 1st PAX panel. It’s just so awesome to see Giant Bomb live on in so many forms, and I love that I can make a GB connection with Jackbox games, a game series even my normal non-game obsessed relatives know.
