Sarah Cooper: Winning friends and influencing everyone

Sarah Cooper shot to superviral fame in 2020 with a series of lip sync videos mocking President Donald Trump’s insane Covid press briefings. She parlayed her buzz into the Netflix variety special “Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine,” directed by Natasha Lyonne and executive produced by Maya Rudolph. This week she stars in a new coming-of-age film “Summering,” a “Stand By Me” for Gen Z girls. And her auto-biographical take on Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” called “Let’s Catch Up Soon,” is out now on Audible. We discuss her out-of-nowhere career, working with Jerry Seinfeld, living in Brooklyn, divorce, Trump and winning friends and influencing people.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: [email protected]  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope
