Anderson Cooper Goes Quiet As Whitney Cummings Veers Into Dicey Territory Live On CNN

The comedian tried out some jaw-dropping lines during her New Year's Eve roast and kept wondering when she'd be taken off air.
Comedian Whitney Cummings didn’t hold back during her New Year’s Eve roast of the year 2024 on CNN, offering some wild takes that left host Anderson Cooper looking blank at times.
She swung at the media, the COVID-19 vaccine, women’s sports and Democrats, among other subjects.
Cooper and co-host Andy Cohen laughed and nodded along for parts of the routine, which started out with jokes about the nation’s fixation on killers like the Menendez brothers and Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
About a minute and a half in, she joked that in 2024, “things got so bleak, we started watching the WNBA.”
She went on to reference “America’s Sweethearts,” a documentary about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, which the comedian said “showed the girls being treated horribly, underpaid, crying.”
