Feels odd why they would not pick one of the really great comedians but some niche personality with not even 500k Google results.

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.
