Seriously, Comedy Central. Stop trying to be woke and inclusive and just concentrate on hiring people who are funny.
Grace’s interview with that astrophysicist was not funny. She actually made fun of him with the mimic game! What was the point of that? Her “jokes” are what I might expect from a five year old, which I guess matches the fact that she seems to have never lost her baby teeth. I didn’t laugh a SINGLE TIME during the whole piece.
Her comedic style is childish, dense and purposely ignorant. NONE of that fits the Daily Show, which is smart, smarmy, sardonic and witty. Ok, and purposefully ignorant.
I can think of several other correspondents who would have handled that piece 1,000 times better than Grace… Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic…
Grace Kuhlenschmidt actually made Michelle Wolf seem funny by comparison! Was that your goal?
The fact you assumed Olivia Munn was also a “diversity hire” is just further proof that you think anyone who is not white is a diversity hire. That’s weird man. Olivia Munn hosted Attack of the Show on G4 for years and even played a reporter in the news room for 2 years. Couldn’t it just be the case that TDS thought she’d be a good fit for the job? But oh no they must have hired her bc she’s hot and Asian. You’re telling on yourself there man.
