Cummings in a 2019 interview
Whitney Cummings (born September 4, 1982) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, writer, producer, director, and podcaster.
Cummings grew up in a challenging environment marked by her parents' divorce when she was five and being raised in a dysfunctional, alcoholic household. Cummings found direction through her education at St. Andrew's Episcopal School and studies at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 2004.
Her early career was marked by ventures into stand-up comedy, acting, and internships, including one at Washington's NBC-owned television station WRC-TV. Cummings moved to Los Angeles after college, making her mark with a role in the low-budget thriller EMR and her participation in MTV's Punk'd. Her stand-up career took off in the mid-2000s, being named one of 10 Comics to Watch in 2007 by Variety and participation in the Comedy Central Roasts of celebrities.
A significant break in television came with the creation of 2 Broke Girls in 2011, a sitcom she co-created and executive produced, alongside starring in and producing her own sitcom, Whitney. Cummings has continued with comedy specials, roles in films and television, and directing the film The Female Brain.
