    Smart can mean a lot of very different things, and on TV it’s a bit easier to “be smart” … eg on Taskmaster (random tasks with wide open thinking) she came across as smart once (I’m not saying she isn’t smart, I have about the same opinion about her, but having read a lot of things & be a bit ‘quick’ is just one aspect of smart is all I’m trying to say).

      Taskmaster is kinda designed to break smart people and get them to do dumb/silly things.

      She was wonderful on Taskmaster and I never thought less of her intelligence, that’s just what happens to people on the show.
