LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sarah Cooper, whose lip-sync parodies of President Donald Trump are an online sensation, is coming to Netflix with a variety special.

'œEverything's Fine," starring the writer and comedian, will debut this fall, the streaming service said Wednesday.

Cooper is working with heavyweight talent on the special: Maya Rudolph is the executive producer and Nastasha Lyonne ("Russian Doll") is directing.

The show will include 'œvignettes dealing with issues of politics, race, gender, class, and other light subjects,'ť Netflix said, with guest performers taking part in short interviews, sketches and 'œmore shenanigans.'ť

In her early Trump satiric video, 'œHow to Medical,'ť an expressive Cooper silently mouthed along to the president's musings about the possibilities of sunlight and disinfectant as coronavirus antidotes.

Cooper's comedic how-to books include 'œ100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings'ť and 'œHow to be Successful Without Hurting Men's Feelings.'ť
