We already knew that Sarah Cooper, the cabaret artist who went viral for her personifications of Trump, is getting a comedy special on Netflix. And today, Cooper signed a deal with CBS to adapt one of her books into a TV series, according to Deadline en Variation.
CBS has plans to develop a comedy show inspired by Cooper’s book How to be successful without feelings for men. The show will focus on three females working at a predominantly male company. As you may have guessed from the name of the book, the show will address today’s gender politics and its impact on the professional and personal life of the trio. Cooper will also be involved in the series serving as co-writer and executive producer.
Cooper released How to be successful without feelings for men in 2018. She has also authored several other books, including 100 tricks to look bad in meetings, and is currently writing a “humorous semi-autobiographical take” on Dale Carnegie’s How to win friends and influence people, which is set to release next year on Audible, according to its website.
I mentioned earlier this month how Sarah Cooper blew up on social media last year after following comedy since 2014. She received significant attention after she began posting several political satire videos of herself lip-syncing Donald Trump. Her first viral video, which was posted on her Twitter account in April, has been viewed more than 22 million times.
