Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper is ripped to shreds for Kamala interview: ‘I’m never watching again’

Fans of the hit podcast Call Her Daddy shredded Alex Cooper after she released her surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday. 

The vice president, who has been subject to intense criticism for her lack of interviews, follows up her appearance on the NBA-themed All The Smoke with an appearance on Alex Cooper’s wildly-popular chat show.

The show’s Instagram account posted a brief tease of the interview, which dropped Sunday morning, and was met with anger from many of the show’s ‘Daddy Gang’ listeners over the ‘softball’ questioning and making the show political.

‘Unsubscribed and unfollowed,’ wrote one fan in the comments. 

‘I’m so disappointed, this feels like propaganda and trying to make her look ‘gen z’,’ added another. ‘You’re gonna look back on this one day and regret it when we are in a war because of her. SMH, truly smh. You just lost a lot of respect.’

Others noted that it seemed in bad taste given the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the devastation left by Hurricane Helene.

‘Wow shame on you! You sold your soul on this one while people need help you had this lady on a pod cast,’ one fan wrote.

‘I hope everyone unfollows you and no one watches your crap pod cast ever again.’

Some joined the online fracas to support Cooper and the show, noting that Cooper has spoken in favor of abortion rights, which a Harris spokesperson confirmed was on the agenda.

‘Fascinating that people are shocked that a woman who has talked about abortion rights for years would interview a woman Vice President who is running for President about abortion rights?! It’s like being shocked that Charlotte Tilbury is doing someone’s makeup.’

‘Imagine boycotting someone for having a presidential nominee on their show,’ wrote another. ‘You should be proud of your girl. You don’t have to like and agree with every guest.’ 

‘TRUMP 2024 never listening to this show again,’ commented one conservative listener. ‘Ask her about her POLICIES instead of all the soft ball interviews she has gotten. 

Harris avoided the show’s typically raunchy, sexual content speaking with Cooper, allowed the vice president to repeat her typical talking points on abortion rights and student debt.

She said of her combined family with husband Doug Emhoff and his two adult children: ‘This is not the 1950s anymore. We have family by blood and family by love.’

Harris also reacted to J.D. Vance’s comments about ‘childless cat ladies’ running the country by saying: ‘I just think it’s mean.  

The campaign added that Harris will talk to the ‘cultural phenomenon’ – which landed Cooper a $125 million SiriusXM deal – about other issues important to women leading up to the election. 

The interview is the latest in a series of less traditional media appearances by the vice president as she mounts her bid for the White House.

The vice president sat down with former basketball players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes for a special episode of their ‘All the Smoke’ podcast in a wide-ranging interview that lasted roughly 45 minutes.

The podcast hosts use their platform to discuss the latest news both on and off the basketball court. 

During the episode released Monday, the three discussed Harris’ loyalty to the Golden State Warriors but also branched off to address a series of other topics from policies to her family and racial identity.  

It comes as Harris is faced criticism for largely avoiding tough interviews with reporters who would grill her on the issues while opting instead to appear on friendlier platforms as she works to reach voters across the country.

The vice president has now gone more than seventy days without doing a solo press conference since becoming first the presumptive and then the official Democratic presidential nominee.

Even as the New York Times editorial board endorsed Harris for president on Monday, it blasted her approach to the media and what appeared to be an effort to avoid unforced errors.

However, Call Her Daddy has become a hot spot for some of the world’s most famous women (and men) to share their stories. 

Cooper, who grew up in Newtown, Pennsylvania, launched Call Her Daddy in 2018 with her roommate, Sofia Franklyn, after she graduated from the College of Communication.

Immediately, thanks to her contagious personality and fearless ability to ask hard-hitting questions, the show became a massive success.

Within two months, it had two million listeners and it was quickly acquired by Barstool Sports.

She and Sofia parted ways in 2020, and one year later, she landed the $60 million deal with Spotify.

Since then, the podcast has become the most-listened to podcast by women on Spotify.

In addition, Cooper has since become a massive star in her own right, gaining more than 3.2 million followers on Instagram.

She has interviewed a slew of A-listers on the podcast, including Simone Biles, Miley Cyrus, Megan Fox, Revel Wilson, Emily Ratajkowski, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Hailey Bieber.

Last year, the podcast host launched her own platform called Unwell Network, which has since signed TikTok sensation Alix Earle.
