Transcript

00:00Move over, father!

00:02Turns out comedian Whitney Cummings knows best

00:05when it comes to Sabrina Carpenter!

00:08Does she owe you a thank you?

00:10I feel like I deserve commission on her touring.

00:14So we got Whitney Cummings at LAX.

00:17I like Whitney Cummings.

00:18Who doesn't?

00:19Except maybe Sabrina Carpenter,

00:21because when Whitney was a producer

00:23on Roseanne's spin-off The Conners,

00:25she turned Sabrina down for the role of Darlene's daughter.

00:28We needed a little more darkness.

00:31And she just radiates light.

00:35Yes, the Conners character definitely gives off a different vibe.

00:39Wait, was this after she hit big?

00:41She was performing, but she was not who she is today.

00:44And it's crazy, because she wouldn't be who she was today if she was cast.

00:47One of those things where rejection really is God's protection.

00:50If we had said yes, she'd still be on that show right now and not touring.

00:55If you're working a full-time job like that...

00:58Not true.

00:59You can't tour.

01:00I can give you a million examples.

01:01Okay, go ahead.

01:02David Sowell.

01:03Who's that?

01:04Paul Peterson.

01:05Who's that?

01:06People we've never heard of.

01:07Help me.

01:08They did, by stopping you before you name another person who predates color TV.

01:12As for Sabrina, Whitney points out...

01:15She also dodged and escaped the whole Roseanne racism tweet.

01:19Her whole life, her number one Google search would be Roseanne racist tweet.

01:24So, she dodged a million bullets.

01:27So, thanks Whitney for giving this to the world.

01:31And also to Barry Keoghan for a hot second.

01:34Any advice there?

01:35Block him.

01:36Block him.
