The show has always hired a diverse slate of correspondent. If she doesn’t work she won’t last. You are right it is a very unique skill set to make it work as a DS correspondent. But this is one place where someone who isn’t a cis white man isn’t a diversity hire.

Maybe hearing people from different perspectives will help broaden your views of the world. Also, the new people are replacing a Mount Rushmore correspondent who the show screwed over.

Also, the show is kind of rudderless without a permanent host. To me the host sets the tone of the show which allows the correspondents to follow.
