For her part, Cummings tries to do some of this work by contrasting Welch’s “ghetto Dolly Parton” (her words) aesthetic with what the comedian perceives as a tendency among privileged white women to fixate on genteel sensitivities. In the Hollywood Reporter story touting her signing with a talent firm and an entertainment lawyer for representation, the latter’s statement brought up how she was “known to her friends as the female Theo Vonn.” If this post-viral fame gambit works out, it’s very possible America might well have found its red-state Call Her Daddy.
