The comedian talks about the struggle to be funny in this moment, the Trump Effect on comedy and the intrinsic elements of humor — vulnerability and truth — that are so unfortunately lacking right now but in this political regime in particular.  Judy shares what she was like as a kid - a natural observer who said everything - whose appearance and height were the source of endless bullying. Judy talks about her career, the breaks and disappointments and how stand-up will always be her main squeeze. S.E. and Judy also trade anxiety stories and find a lot of each other in them. Stay for the lightning round to see if Judy really knows the details of her own career.

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.
