Um, white males CANNOT be diversity hires in the American entertainment industry. By definition and population. Do you know what a diversity hire is??

I cannot believe TDS producers thought she would be a good match for the show. And of course there are funny comedians who happen to be lesbian and/or overweight… However Grace Kuhlenschmidt isn’t one of them.

She’s so bad on the show, I cannot think of another explanation as to why they hired her.

Another confounding example is Olivia Munn. I thought TDS hired her because she’s Asian and young men find her attractive. I was pleasantly surprised her one or two appearances on the show were really funny. Then they fired her.

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.

It doesn’t work in TDS correspondent interviews.

Being loud and outrageous is not the same thing as being funny.

You’re right the about the setting. The Daily Show is a thinking person’s comedy show. Not a slap your knee, “look at that chicken head” show. Hosting it requires restrained, calm, cool smarmy energy.

Leslie Jones is 100% wrong for the format. The producers brought her back as virtue signaling for the millennials. And this is not about race. I would feel the same if Dane Cook guest hosted.
