Cummings in a 2019 interview

Whitney Cummings (born September 4, 1982) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, writer, producer, director, and podcaster.

Contents

Cummings grew up in a challenging environment marked by her parents' divorce when she was five and being raised in a dysfunctional, alcoholic household. Cummings found direction through her education at St. Andrew's Episcopal School and studies at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 2004.

Her early career was marked by ventures into stand-up comedy, acting, and internships, including one at Washington's NBC-owned television station WRC-TV. Cummings moved to Los Angeles after college, making her mark with a role in the low-budget thriller EMR and her participation in MTV's Punk'd. Her stand-up career took off in the mid-2000s, being named one of 10 Comics to Watch in 2007 by Variety and participation in the Comedy Central Roasts of celebrities.

A significant break in television came with the creation of 2 Broke Girls in 2011, a sitcom she co-created and executive produced, alongside starring in and producing her own sitcom, Whitney. Cummings has continued with comedy specials, roles in films and television, and directing the film The Female Brain.

[10] She has an older half-brother named Kevin and an older sister named Ashley. [9] [5] Cummings was raised Roman Catholic. [4] Her parents divorced when she was five years old. [5] [11] [12]

She has stated that she was raised in a dysfunctional, alcoholic household. [13] At age 12, she temporarily resided with her aunt in Virginia, [4] and spent summers in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, where her father worked as a manager at the Hill Top House Hotel.

In 2011, two multi-camera, live-audience sitcoms that Cummings created [26] were picked up by broadcast networks: 2 Broke Girls (which she co-created and executive produced with Michael Patrick King) and Whitney (which she starred in, executive produced, and created). [27] [28] Whitney, in which Cummings portrayed a semi-fictionalized version of herself, was not well received by critics, [29] [30] [31] and Cummings acknowledges it was a learning curve for her. [32] [33] [34] The series was canceled after two seasons in May 2013. [35] While still working on the second season of Whitney, Cummings also hosted a talk show, Love You, Mean It with Whitney Cummings , on E! in 2012, [36] which was cancelled after 11 episodes. [37] [38]

Cummings later stated that she was overworking herself during this period, and was also in the midst of battling an eating disorder in which she would binge eat followed by compulsive exercise. [39] In June 2014, Cummings released her second hour-long special, I Love You, on Comedy Central. [40]

Her third hour-long special debuted on HBO in 2016, titled "I'm Your Girlfriend". [41] Reviews were mixed, suggesting it felt less comedic than her previous stand up performances. [42]

Cummings had a supporting role in the 2017 thriller Unforgettable , starring Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson, released in April 2017. [43] The following month, 2 Broke Girls was cancelled after having run six consecutive seasons. [44] Cummings made her directorial debut with The Female Brain (2017), an independent comedy film distributed by IFC Films, which Cummings also starred in. [45]

Also in 2017, Cummings published her first book, titled I'm Fine...And Other Lies, a collection of personal stories about her life. [46]

Beginning in 2018, Cummings served as one of the head writers, an executive producer, and overseer of day-to-day production of the revival of the comedy series Roseanne , for ABC. [47] [48] Cummings left the show before its cancelation. [49]

Her fourth hour-long special, Can I Touch It?, was released on July 30, 2019, on Netflix. [50] [51] This special features a robot that Cummings had custom made to look exactly like her, and she brings this robot out at the end of the special. [52]

On November 5, 2019, Cummings launched her first podcast entitled Good for You. Her first guest was actor/producer Dan Levy. Good for You is co-hosted by former assistant and fellow comedian Benton Ray, and features a wide variety of guests, ranging from politicians and comedians to actors and journalists. [53] Fans of the show appreciate Cumming's regular guests, including Nikki Glaser who has featured in multiple episodes, creating the impression of a "highly relatable friendship." [54]

In September 2023, Cummings claimed that she was owed over $350,000 by podcast network Kast Media, who Cummings had been working with since December 2021. Similar claims of non-payment had been made against Kast Media and its CEO Colin Thomson by Jim Cornette followed by Theo Von, Jason Ellis, Brendan Schaub, Bryan Callen, and Alyx Weiss, who stated they were owed significant money, including several six-figure and seven-figure shortages. [55] [56] [57] [58] [59]

Cummings has a chapter giving advice in Tim Ferriss' book Tools of Titans .

Personal life

In June 2023, Cummings revealed that she was pregnant and expecting a son. [60] She gave birth to her son on December 17, 2023. [61]

Influences

Cummings has described her comedic influences beginning with Paul Reiser, who she said "made these hysterical, brilliant commentary about the most mundane things and open it up to a hysterical world". [62] Other important influences for her were George Carlin, who she says challenged her to "question everything". [63] Later influences were Dave Attell ("a legend now but he's very edgy"), Lenny Bruce, and Bill Hicks. [62]
