The special is expected to reach the broadcast this fall.
“Everything’s fine” will come with “vignettes dealing with politics, race, sex, elegance and other friendly topics,” Netflix said, with guest artists in brief interviews, sketches and “more mischief.”
In April 2020, Cooper went viral with his brilliant satirical impressions of our current president’s lip synchronisation. His How to Medical video posted on Twitter has been viewed more than 20 million times. In the video, he synchronizes with Trump when talking about the concept of sunlight and a disinfectant to cure the coronavirus.
Cooper, 42, is from Jamaica and lately lives in New York.
Prior to her online success, she was editor and correspondent for CBS ALL ACCESS’s OLD NEWS pilot program, produced through Stephen Colbert. Cooper also wrote the best-selling books “100 Tips for Looking Smart in Meetings” and “How to Succeed Without Harming Men’s Feelings.”

Cooper told the Daily Beast that she entered TikTok after her nephew took her to the shared short video.
He said he started making his impressions of Trump after seeing his daily reports on viruses and said he had discovered that “he had no idea what he was communicating and that he could communicate anything for so long.” He said he likes to tell the fact to force other people to laugh.
