The woke thing is over done. It tells me more about the person saying “this is woke”. I don’t think the Daily Show has to signal anything on the left. Is it possible, that they hired someone who isn’t funny and that person just happens to be over weight and a lesbian? I’ve seen a LOT of unfunny white male comedians. No one says they were a diversity hire. The OP makes the assumption daily show knew she wasn’t funny and hired her because she’s a lesbian, jumping to that conclusion because it’s the thing they notice most. I’m fairly certain if that was the case, I’m betting there are funny comedians who happen to be lesbian.
