Cooper went viral on TikTok for lip-syncing to President Donald Trump’s speeches.
Somehow, Cooper acheived fame for her “over-the top” performances, impersonating Trump from a handful of coronavirus task force briefings.
Of course, she has also covered various press conferences and interveiws as well.
Each of her videos have gathered tens of millions of views across social media, landing herself with over 2.2 million Twitter followers.
More from Fox News:
The special is being directed by Natasha Lyonne, known for starring in Netflix shows “Orange is the New Black” and “Russian Doll,” and is being produced by Cooper, Lyonne, as well as Maya Rudolph, Danielle Renfrew, and Paula Pell.
As one of the only celebrities to make a name for herself amid the pandemic, Cooper was on the late-night circuit earlier this year appearing on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.” She even guest-hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live” earlier this week while host Jimmy Kimmel has been on vacation.
Many of President Trump’s critics also speculated that he had taken action to ban TikTok in the United States because of the popularity of Cooper’s videos instead of cracking down on Chinese government’s influence of TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance over cybersecurity threats.
