The viral TikTok social media star, who's fielding movie and TV offers following her viral social media success impersonating the president, should be considered for shaking up Saturday Night Live's stale Trump impression, says Sean L. McCarthy. "SNL already has a history of repurposing real-life dialogue, from Tina Fey’s (Sarah) Palin re-enactments at the end of the 2008 campaign, and even for more than a decade before that, thanks to Robert Smigel’s animated 'TV Funhouse' segments," he says. McCarthy adds: "Cooper already has penetrated the realm of Lorne, debuting a recent video on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Even if Lorne himself didn’t see it, Fallon’s sidekick and longtime SNL producer Steve Higgins probably knows what’s up."
