Hi, Sarah.
Hi.
First of all, congratulations.
I just went a list.
In the last few months, your lip sync videos
have been viewed over 300 million times.
Variety named you one of their 10 comics to watch for 2020.
CBS is making a sitcom based on your book, How
to be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings, which I love.
You've guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel, Live.
And you just released your first Netflix special,
Sarah Cooper, Everything's Fine, which we'll
talk about a little bit later.
You might be the only person whose career has
benefited from the quarantine.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel bad about that.
Because the pandemic has been so hard.
But this has been my big break in a good way.
It's been amazing.
I'm talking to you for the second time this year,
which is crazy.
And yeah.
So much has happened.
But at the same time, nothing has changed.
Because I'm sitting in almost the exact same place
I was when I was talking to you before.
You know, it's crazy.
This year has been crazy.
Well, now I was at home when I talked to you back
in, I guess it was March.
It was early on.
And then now I'm in the studio.
But that the last time I asked you
if the president had seen these videos, and you didn't know.
Do you think that he has seen them?
A journalist actually asked him a few months ago
if he'd seen my videos.
And Trump said-- he played very dumb, which is weird for Trump
because I mean, when is he playing dumb?
Right?
You never know.
But he acted like he never heard of me, never seen the videos.
He was like, are they positive?
He was very confused.
So I think he's definitely seen them.
I think he's definitely seen them.
And I think he probably doesn't like them at all.
He hates them so much that he won't even attack me.
I am very attackable person from Donald Trump.
And he hasn't said anything about me.
So he must really hate the videos.
That's what I think.
Well, you should feel very fortunate that--
you don't want that.
And the election is tomorrow.
Are you worried that you may be losing a source of material
if he isn't re-elected?
I'm not actually.
He keeps just repeating himself at this point.
I did a video where he said reason
why we have so many cases is because we test so much.
And every once in a while, people
would be like, he said this crazy thing about how
we have so many cases, because we test so much.
And I said, I know.
He's been saying that for months now.
He says that every single time he has any kind of speech.
So he's just repeating himself at this point.
And also I don't think he's going to go anywhere.
I think he's still going to pretend
to be president from Twitter even when he's not president.
He's going to be spitting out executive orders and tweets.
He's still going to be doing that.
So it'll be the entertainment but without the harm
to our democracy.
And I think that's going to be the sweet spot for Donald
Trump.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, you're spending time with your husband.
People are either getting closer together.
And the relationship is better, or it's tough.
And I don't know what that is especially
because your husband is now--
this is a lot of attention on you.
How's he handling that?
It was difficult at first.
I mean, especially around the time when we first spoke.
I was getting all of this attention.
I had all these engagements, all these interviews.
And so it was causing a lot of tension in our relationship.
So we ended up actually going into marriage counseling.
And it's Zoom marriage counseling.
So we log on.
The therapist gets on and says, what do you, what do you,
guys want to talk about?
And my husband starts saying, well, my wife
has been making these videos.
She's getting all this attention.
Her career's taking off.
And it's really causing a lot of tension in the relationship.
And the therapist said, wait, are you Sarah Cooper?
I was like, read this room, dude.
Like, not right now.
It's not a good time to be recognized.
Then he gets his phone out and starts playing my video
during the counseling session.
And now anytime the therapist takes my side,
afterwards my husband's like, well, it's
because you have a Netflix special.
That's why he's taking your side.
It has nothing to do with you being right.
Actually, it's probably cause I'm right.
But yeah.
So that was awkward.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure.
I mean, that is a tough thing.
It's an adjustment.
We have to take a break, Sarah.
And we'll come back and talk more.
We'll be back.
