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?
Who are you to tell Black activists whether their terminology is “over” or not?
“Woke” originated in the Black community in the 1940s and was a common term for describing awareness of even subtle racial discrimination. It was then appropriated by White activists in the 2010s and applied to virtually every form of social justice. Which in turn led to conservatives using it as a catch-all term for everything progressives support.
TL;DR - White folk (liberal and conservative) ruined a term used by Black folk.
I believe they’re saying “complaining about being woke” is overdone.
Nothing wrong with being woke. It’s the idiots that complain about it that is tiring and eyerolling.
