Comedian and actress Whitney Cummings used the platform provided by CNN's New Year's Eve Live 2025 special Tuesday night to take a swipe or three at the host and a number of other hot topics of the year.
The 42-year-old referenced herself in a joke promoting her 2025 tour dates, while also slamming far-left CNN for rapidly declining viewership.
Standing alongside hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper in Times Square, the comedian boasted that he was performing “in bigger and bigger venues now” after the birth of his son in December 2023.
“I thought that once I became a mother, fewer people would come to see me. Now I'm doing like a 3,000-seat theater, which is comparable to CNN's ratings these days.” she said, quickly adding the modifier by saying, Everyone is paying attention to this show. ”
During his guest appearance, Cummings focused on politics and the bad year for Democrats, starting with the octogenarian who will soon leave the White House.
“The 2024 election messed with our heads. Democrats were too busy trying to keep themselves straight to have a primary,” she said, then added, “We're still rolling.” Are you there?” he asked. Am I off?
After Mr. Cohen said, “Good luck,” Mr. Cummings clearly embraced his theme, focusing on failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
“It was amazing. The pro-choice people didn't give voters any information about their presidential candidates. Kamala [Harris] They pushed us so hard that I thought she might have been patented by Pfizer or Moderna…oh my god, Andy gave me such a scary look. ”
Cummings went on to slam Jennifer Lopez and make comments about Luigi Mangione and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
