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.
01:37Block him.
