House of Maher

Becca Bastos is in the house!!! Our fourth Maher sister today is an insanely funny actress, comedian and content creator who you may know as your eccentric Pilates instructor, overworked Long Island mom, or the down-and-out Elf on the Shelf. Her videos are a masterclass in chaotic character work, but behind the scenes, she’s a self-described Type A planner who scripts every line. She’s the creative mind behind the characters you send to your group chat and she gave a voice to your luteal phase. She is a brilliant comedian and now she’s officially our sister.

Welcome worldclass comedian Chelsea Handler to the family! Our fourth Maher sister today has been unapologetically herself since she was ten years old selling hard lemonade at the neighborhood stand. She’s a legendary comedian, selling out venues all over the country, and the trailblazing force behind the late-night hit Chelsea Lately, where she was the only woman host in late night for seven straight years. She’s also a SEVEN-TIME NYT-bestselling author, with SIX topping the charts at #1. 

Whether she’s doing sold-out shows in Vegas, dominating the charts with a Netflix special, or skiing in a bikini on her birthday, she does it all with so much style. Her latest book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, is already a massive hit.

Welcome to the family, Alex and Maia Shibutani! Our fourth and fifth Maher siblings are absolute legends who have earned two Olympic medals, three World Championship medals, and a spot in the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame- and that’s not all. After a seven year break where they became best-selling authors, they’ve laced up their skates again for one of the most anticipated comebacks in the sport. They are the first ice dancers of Asian descent to medal at the Olympics, and the first sibling duo from the U.S. to do it.
