Alex Cooper Slams Mystery Actor Over Call Her Daddy Interview That Never Aired

There is one guest Alex Cooper will never ask back.

And while the Call Her Daddy host kept the name of the black-listed guest a secret, she cited the episode—which ultimately never aired—with a mystery actor as her least favorite she’s ever recorded.

“I can’t say their name,” Alex noted in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Oct. 16. “It was a male actor who just was giving nothing. You could tell he was on a press run.”

She continued, “I didn’t want to blow his butt up, but I was like, ‘Bro, you don’t want to be here. You aren’t answering any of these questions. Someone put you in this chair you didn’t even know.’”

And on why the episode never made it to air, the 30-year-old said both parties were in favor of holding it back.

As Alex explained, “I think it was a mutual respect thing of, ‘Let’s not air this because I don’t want my listeners to come at you for not giving anything.’”

The podcaster hasn’t chosen to prevent any celebrities on publicity tours from being a guest—she just has stipulations.

“Everyone’s promoting something, and I respect it,” she said. “But I always say, ‘I know you are promoting this, but we’ve got to talk about your personal life. I tell them, ‘If [listeners] care about you, they’ll care more about your product.’”

She also noted her audience expects her to ask certain hard-hitting questions, adding of one particular guest, “How am I not going to ask Gwyneth Paltrow [who’s better in bed], Brad or Ben? This is a fun relationship and sex podcast. We’ve got to go there.”

Yet, while Alex opted not to “blow up people’s spot” when it came to naming names for her less positive podcast experiences, she had a few answers ready for which episodes were her favorite to record—though she did admit the question is a tough one, as it’s “like asking somebody their favorite movie.”

“The first person that really took a chance on me as a celebrity was Miley Cyrus,” Alex said of the Grammy winner, who appeared in 2020. “I hadn’t had that gravity of a celebrity on, and she was incredible.”

Other standouts were Jane Fonda, Christina Aguilera, Keke Palmer, RuPaul and Chelsea Handler, the latter of whom Alex noted has become a good friend.

And while the longtime Swiftie admitted Taylor Swift is towards the top of her dream guest list, Alex noted the ways in which listening to her fans and to social media has changed the game.

“There are weeks when my DMs will blow up and everybody is suddenly begging me to have somebody on,” she said, noting numbers from an episode with a Love Island contestant can end up as high as for someone like Hailey Bieber. “Social media has completely changed the landscape in terms of the relevancy factor, and that conversation can be relevant for just 24 hours and then it’s gone. Whoever is getting that person in the chair is winning the game.”

She continued, “So yes, there are celebrity guests I’m always interested in. But then there’s the relevant zeitgeist conversation that I feel I’m very good at jumping on.”

After all, it is her job.

“I’m chronically online—that’s all I’m doing all day,” she joked. “I’m just scribbling, scrolling, taking notes.”
