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." ^[5] 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. ^[6]

The show was a success, reaching 4.5 million subscribers at its peak. ^[7] 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. ^{[8] [9]} A teaser was released around the same time, but as of January 2025, the plans were cancelled. ^[10]

On October 25, 2024, Cooper's producer and friend, Reagan Conrad, was a guest host on her show. ^[11] On the December 10, 2025 episode, Cooper announced that it would be her final episode hosting and that Conrad would be replacing her. ^[12]

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. ^{[13] [2] [14]} Cooper began to focus on her own YouTube channel, and in June 2025 was added as a contributor to Fox News. ^{[15] [16]}
