One user wrote, “Her show is the kind of show you’re forced to watch in the waiting room at the Dentist office. I’d rather be crazy and fun than boring as h--- lol.”

"Absolutely right. Yet, she thinks she’s the #1 on national tv, while she isn’t even top 10 in her hometown, it’s funny how some comedians only make jokes about other people, it’s truly that 'comedy'?" another user asked.
