Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Comedy, Special
Money Shot finds Cummings riffing on a wide range of topics, chiefly the differences between men and women and how both tend to behave in relationships.
And before you roll your eyes at the very thought of another comic covering this well-worn territory, Cummings has found an approach to the material that's unique enough to make her take on it very compelling.
She's a foul-mouthed "guy's girl" who surrenders none of her femininity in order to be accepted by the male half, and she claims to be just as honest and critical of women as she is of men.
Her act never turns into "we're smart, you're not."
Well, mostly.
