Whitney Cummings says dismissively Sabrina Timmerman from “The Conners” was the best thing that could have happened to the pop star.
We got Whitney at LAX on Thursday and our photographer asked the former ‘Conners’ showrunner about the time Sabrina tried to get on the show.
Whitney says Sabrina used to audition for the role of Harris Conner-Healy, but ultimately passed because they were looking for someone with a darker energy.
As Whitney remembers it, Sabrina lit up the room with her presence… and while that’s usually a good thing for people… it didn’t fit the role.
The thing is…Whitney says that Sabrina’s career actually benefited from not being cast in the TV show…and told us that Sabrina should have diverted her attention from her music career, which has since blown up.
Whitney even jokes that she deserves a cut of Sabrina’s tour profits… or at least a few front row seats at the show… and tells us that denials are often the best thing for a career in Hollywood.
We also asked Whitney about Sabrina’s recent actor divorce Barry Keoghan …and she has some simple advice.
