She’s not out there peddling detox teas. No: this woman is a force to be reckoned with in the world of podcasting. If you haven’t tuned in to [her hit show ](https://time.com/6082311/call-her-daddy-alexandra-cooper/ "undefined")[_Call Her Daddy_](https://time.com/6082311/call-her-daddy-alexandra-cooper/ "undefined")_,_ then you’re missing out on some next-level entertainment. Alex fearlessly dives into the corners of the human psyche with her razor-sharp wit and unmatched storytelling skills. She’s like Nancy Drew on steroids, minus the collared dresses. On top of her roles as a news-making celebrity interviewer and burgeoning new-media magnate, she’s also a champion for women’s empowerment and sexual liberation. She tackles taboo topics and breaks down barriers, all while making us laugh our asses off. Who knew you could giggle and gasp in horror at the same time? (Well, I did, actually.) Alex is changing the game, one story at a time. And she’s just getting started. --- ### More from TIME --- _Handler is a comedian and producer_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/"},"headline":"Alexandra Cooper","datePublished":"2023-09-13T11:00:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:18:51.735Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/","keywords":["TIME 100 Next","sponsorshipblock","time100nextartists23"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7afbe5ce569cc733/698a3fefd075339dcee6e57f/time100-next-alexandra-cooper-2023.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7afbe5ce569cc733/698a3fefd075339dcee6e57f/time100-next-alexandra-cooper-2023.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/","name":"Alexandra Cooper"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"See Everyone on the TIME100 Next List","description":"TIME100 Next, our annual franchise recognizing the rising leaders in health, climate, business, sports, the arts and more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QxIk3IJu/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-09-13T11:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QxIk3IJu.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/","duration":"PT1M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308463/alexandra-cooper/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
