This 'Baywatch' Actress Killed at the Comedy Store With the Help of David Spade and Whitney Cummings
But McKinney just proved that she's far more than just a pretty face: she's also hilarious, having just nailed a side-splitting set at the Comedy Store. Her secret? She had two seasoned comedians feeding her jokes via an earpiece... so yeah, it's kind of cheating, but that comic timing and delivery are all her.

During a segment on Lights Out with David Spade on Comedy Central, McKinney took to the stage at the famous comedy club, and recited material that was being dictated by Whitney Cummings and her old Joe Dirt co-star, Spade himself . While it can be tricky business maintaining a natural-seeming stage presence at the same time as somebody is talking in your ear, McKinney manages it: after a shaky start where she breaks while delivering her first one-liner ("I know, I look like a news anchor with a tapeworm") she holds her ground, reeling off the zingers in a way that makes her set sound pretty polished.
The jokes mine McKinney's own life and career for material, from the fact that she dropped out of high school at 17 (then went back to get her "DUI"), to her playing second fiddle to Zac Efron in terms of hotness in Baywatch , along with an obligatory nod to her boobs and even some pretty funny improvised jokes of her own.
David Spade should look out: if he doesn't keep his wits about him, McKinney might just be coming for his job.
