Sarah Cooper, who has broken out during the pandemic on TikTok for her Trump impersonations, including her viral "How to Medical" video, has landed a variety special at Netflix.
00:00You'll likely recognize Sarah Cooper from her viral impersonations of President Donald Trump on TikTok.
00:05I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it.
00:09And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way.
00:16Now, the comedian and author just landed her own variety special at Netflix.
00:20The special, titled Sarah Cooper, Everything's Fine, will feature vignettes focusing on issues related to politics, race, gender, class, and other topics.
00:28An array of short interviews and sketches featuring special guests will also be a part of it.
00:32The one-off will premiere at a date to be determined in the fall.
00:35Cooper tweeted, It's true, I'm getting a Netflix special, and I couldn't have done it without all your support. Thank you so much.
00:41Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll will direct the special.
00:44Since her first TikTok video went viral, Cooper's appeared on daytime and late-night talk shows
00:48and been featured in major publications across the U.S.
00:51Most recently, she filled in as host on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday.
00:55If you don't know who I am, that's okay. I don't know who you are either, so or even.
00:58Basically, I'm the reason your grandpa downloaded TikTok, but don't blame me.
01:02Cooper recently signed with WME for representation and has drawn interest from studios, streamers, production companies, and publishers,
01:09all with offers in a variety of genres, including features, scripted and unscripted TV, podcasts, and books.
01:16And it's been very spectacular. It's been really spectacular. So, yeah, I don't think anybody's done a better job.
01:23Pre-TikTok, Cooper was a writer and a correspondent on the Stephen Colbert-produced CBS All Access pilot, Old News.
01:29She wrote the best-selling book, A Hundred Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings, and How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings.
