    I’m the same. I watched about 1 min of one of her interviews and had to turn it off due to all the second hand embarrassment I was feeling.

      They’re in on the joke to a degree. They know it’s a comedy show but nothing more.

      Some of them have so much fun playing straight man. The philosopher, the military history guy who comforts her when she mock cries on finding out nukes still exist, and the “Jesus was the first victim of cancel culture” religious scholar all come to mind.

      I never knew this was “a thing”, but I guess I have a form of it.

      I absolutely, positively cannot watch The Office, but Cunk on Earth? It is one of the few comedy things lately that’s had me absolutely rolling.
