Whitney Cummings recently made headlines with her sharp and humorous critique of CNN during its New Year’s Eve special. Known for her bold comedic style, Cummings took the opportunity to poke fun at both the network and the Democratic Party.
During a live broadcast with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, she joked about CNN’s dwindling viewership by comparing it to the size of her theater audiences. “I’m now playing, you know, like 3,000 seat theaters, which is about the viewership of CNN these days,” she quipped.

Her commentary didn’t stop there; she turned her attention to the Democrats’ choice for presidential candidates. She criticized them for failing to provide a strong contender against President Biden due to their unwavering support despite his age-related challenges. “The Democrats couldn’t hold a primary this year. They were too busy holding up a body,” she remarked sharply.
Cummings continued her roast by addressing Vice President Kamala Harris’s role in the administration, suggesting that voters weren’t given much choice in her candidacy. “The pro-choice party didn’t give their voters one when it came to their candidate,” she said, adding humorously that Harris was pushed onto the public as if “she was patented by Pfizer,” drawing parallels with COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
I had a super long list of “things the mainstream media won’t cover” but only included ones I super duper was able to fact check! Thanks for everyone on X who sent me some when I asked in a post yesterday ❤️🫡 pic.twitter.com/1eVoGQ40Fq

In response to the buzz, Cummings challenged critics by asking them to point out any falsehoods in her statements: “I mean please list the lies I told?” She further defended her comments by stating that she had meticulously fact-checked everything before speaking out.
Throughout this exchange, neither Anderson Cooper nor Andy Cohen attempted to interrupt or counter Cummings’ fiery remarks about CNN or other topics. Instead, Cohen acknowledged her spirited demeanor with a simple comment: “Wow, you’re all fiery today.”
