Whitney Cummings isn't afraid to share her thoughts on anything, including sensitive, controversial topics. She has a way of making absolutely everything funny and a tad bit sexualized, and apparently, wrongful convictions on a murder case are no exception!
Amanda Knox was a guest on Whitney's podcast, Good For You, and if the name sounds familiar to you, it's because it was very likely part of a news story you've heard a few times. Amanda Knox was wrongfully jailed for the gruesome murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007. Her story is one of sheer terror, wrongful accusations and unnecessary prison time... all of which was turned into light-hearted humor in the way that only Whitney Cummings could ever pull off.
Of course, in keeping with her usual undertones of sexual connotations, Whitney 'went there' with the seemingly shocked Amanda Knox, and the results were fantastically hysterical.
Making Heavy Topics Light Again
If ever there were a magician that could turn heavy topics into airy ones, Whitney Cummings would be the mastermind behind it all! What was arguably one of Italy's biggest real-life murder mysteries was turned into a light-hearted conversation about sex in prison, thanks to Whitney's talented comedic skills.
Known to be outspoken and downright brazen in her approach, Whitney wasted no time getting into the sex talk with Amanda Knox, who somehow seemed surprised at Cummings' ability to generate jokes from this serious topic of conversation.
Cummings launched into a conversation about her fantasy of having an affair with an imprisoned man since he "can't cheat on her," and the conversation quickly turned into a discussion about moments of self-pleasure that Amanda Knox experienced while incarcerated.
Fans quickly forgot the real story behind Knox' past - her connection to the horrific stabbing death of her roommate.
Crass Comedy At It's Finest
Perhaps one of the finest moments on the podcast stemmed from a serious tidbit of conversation by Knox. She was stating that she was a "pretty cool person to have around" making the light of her past by stating that if anyone around her committed a heinous murder, she'd be the one blamed for it. Without hesitation, Cummings began crediting Amanda for being brilliantly smart, going on to call her "sharp as F**k", and "cutting."
Yes, she went there! Calling Knox "cutting" as they made light of the fact that she was imprisoned for the stabbing murder of Meredith Kercher was just about as crass as it gets. By this point in the podcast, Knox was ready for just about anything, which seems to be the mentality one has to have to join Good For You!
