I downvoted you because you replied to aa carefully argued, reasoned statement with a single-sentence opinion phrased as though it were an expression of fact. Of two facts.
Feels odd why they would not pick one of the really great comedians but some niche personality with not even 500k Google results.
my guess is it has something to do with copyrights
I think we all know exactly why this comedian was chosen, and it has nothing to do with popularity or talent.
Perhaps for some people, but I don't think that sort of sentiment about Ali Wong is universally true.
I genuinely enjoyed the material and found it very fresh, especially as someone that didn't really think standup comedy was for me before that.
