Overview
- Carissa Codel launched her recurring “Reading Viewer Comments” series in August after seeing rude remarks on a report, delivering the lines in a deadpan anchor cadence.
- By Dec. 1 she had posted 14 installments, and the latest TikTok drew more than 2 million views and about 200,000 likes.
- She posts across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, with outlets reporting more than 1 million total likes and follower counts of roughly 123,000 on TikTok and 222,000 on Instagram.
- Codel says the series calls out appearance-focused judgments in her industry, and she avoids sharing the most extreme messages.
- Family and coworkers have publicly supported her, and a Halloween edition played on frequent comparisons to Sabrina Carpenter.
