Sarah Cooper's memoir 'Foolish' is about her immigrant family, TikTok fame and comedy
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Thu Feb 08 2024
Description: Comedian Sarah Cooper blew up when her TikTok videos making fun of then-President Donald Trump's statements in press conferences went viral. Her new memoir, Foolish, recounts that moment in her life — but it also expands on Cooper's larger trajectory, from learning she was Black as the daughter of Jamaican immigrants to working at Google as an adult. She tells NPR's Leila Fadel just how surreal her rise in comedy has been, and why HomeGoods home decor actually dishes out some pretty wise life advice.
