Let’s talk about Alex Cooper, the reigning queen of jaw-dropping podcast convos over at Call Her Daddy. You know the one—where celebs get comfy, confess things you didn’t ask for, and spill more tea than your nosy neighbor. But not every celeb brings the heat, and Alex just dropped a little shade about the guest who gave… well, absolutely nothing. And yes, it was so bad, the whole interview ended up in the trash. Yikes.
First, the good stuff: Alex’s favorite interviewees! We’re talking Miley Cyrus (because duh, she is the moment), Jane Fonda (an absolute icon—probably gave life advice and did squats mid-interview), Christina Aguilera (probably added a “come on over” somewhere in there), Keke Palmer (pure chaos, we love it), RuPaul (obligatory “can I get an amen?”), and Chelsea Handler (you know she brought the sarcasm with a side of tequila).
Now for the real tea: When asked who her least favorite guest was, Alex gave us some serious suspense—like, Netflix should option this as a thriller. “It was a male actor,” she said cryptically, probably looking like a mix between Sherlock Holmes and someone trying to remember if they unplugged the straightener.
Apparently, this dude was so checked out, it was like interviewing a brick wall with a PR agent. “You could tell he was on a press run,” Alex explained, basically saying the poor guy looked like he had been kidnapped by his own publicist. “I didn’t want to blow his butt up…” (which, wow, phrasing, Alex) “…but it was like, ‘Bro, you don’t want to be here.’”
Imagine this: You’re sitting across from an actor, armed with juicy questions, ready to dive into their deepest secrets, and they hit you with the conversational equivalent of elevator music. That’s what Alex was dealing with. She basically gave him a mercy kill by scrapping the episode. “It was mutual respect,” she said. Translation: “Neither of us needed the smoke from releasing that trainwreck.”
But Alex doesn’t stop there—she’s also turned down guests who she knows won’t play ball. If you’re trying to keep it wholesome or dodge awkward sex questions, honey, this ain’t the pod for you.
“I tell them straight up,” Alex said. “‘Look, I know you’re here to promote some boring product or whatever, but we gotta talk about your personal life first.’” And she’s not wrong—who cares about a smoothie blender when you can find out who’s better in bed: Brad Pitt or Ben Affleck?
“You gotta give the people what they want!” she added. Her audience expects certain questions, and Alex? She delivers. She’s out here like, “I’m sorry, but if Gwyneth Paltrow shows up, how am I not asking if Brad or Ben was the MVP in bed? This is a sex podcast, not QVC.”
Bottom line: Alex Cooper stays serving chaos, sass, and the kind of honesty that makes celebs squirm—and we’re so here for it.
