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?
Nope, it’s not nerves that makes Grace Kuhlenschmidt so wrong for TDS, it’s her comedic style. Just like Dane Cook or Jeff Dunham with be terrible on TDS. They have the wrong skillsets.
