Whitney Cummings Sparks Viral Frenzy with CNN Roast on New Year’s Eve

Whitney Cummings Goes Viral After Roasting CNN During Live New Year’s Coverage

Comedian Whitney Cummings kicked off 2025 with a bang, delivering sharp, unscripted roasts during CNN’s live New Year’s Eve coverage. Known for her fearless humor, Cummings didn’t hold back, taking shots at CNN’s ratings, politics, and corporate influence.

In one zinger, she quipped, “I’m not playing, you know, like 3,000-seat theaters—which is about the viewership of CNN these days. Are we still rolling?” The jab drew shocked laughter from co-host Andy Cohen, who quickly tried to redirect the conversation.

Cummings then veered into a biting critique of the Democratic Party’s handling of the 2024 election, saying, “The pro-choice party didn’t give their voters one when it came to the presidential candidate. Kamala [Biden’s VP] was forced on us so hard you’d think she was patented by Pfizer or Moderna.”

In her final moments, she unleashed rapid-fire jokes about media censorship and corporate influence, including a jab at Disney, saying, “Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia put money into Disney, so just know there won’t be any girl characters in the next Cars movie.”

Cummings’ performance quickly went viral, cementing her as 2025’s first comedy breakout moment.
