History
Brett Cooper
In late 2021, conservative news and media company The Daily Wire sought "to capture a Gen Z audience on TikTok and YouTube." Brett Cooper, at that time an actress, was hired by The Daily Wire in January 2022 to start a podcast called The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.The show was a success, reaching 4.5 million subscribers at its peak. Due to the show's success, in October 2023, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing announced that Cooper was set to star in a live‑action film titled Snow White and the Evil Queen as Snow White. A teaser was released around the same time, but as of January 2025, the plans were cancelled.
On October 25, 2024, Cooper's producer and friend, Reagan Conrad, was a guest host on her show. On the December 10, 2024 episode, Cooper announced that it would be her final episode hosting and that Conrad would be replacing her.
Despite speculation of a falling out between Cooper and Conrad as well as between Cooper and The Daily Wire, Cooper announced that the decision was her own. Despite these statements made by Cooper herself, the specific details surrounding the breakup “remain murky”. Cooper began to focus on her own YouTube channel, and in June 2025 was added as a contributor to Fox News.
