So what’s the deal with so few female guests on The Daily Show? My friend Ms. Biffles noticed the trend and told me it was a topic of conversation of late out in San Francisco lately. I immediately noticed the trend as well as I watched for the last month or so with [I’m 99% sure] zero female guests. Until last night when Torie Clarke, author of Lipstick on a Pig: Winning in the No-Spin Era by Someone Who Knows the Game was on.
It’s not like women can’t go blow for blow with Jon. It’s not like women aren’t funny. It’s not like there is such a scarcity of notable women that the bookers can’t get them on the show. What’s the deal?
Maybe with the birth of his second child [Maggie Rose] Jon will push for more female guests.
