On June 3, 2010, Munn premiered in her new role as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. Her hiring prompted criticism from Irin Carmon of Jezebel, who questioned Munn's credentials and accused the show's production of sexism in hiring Munn, whom Carmon characterized as a sex symbol. Carmon saw Munn's hiring as a perpetuation of the show production office's history as a male-dominated atmosphere marginalizing and alienation to women. A group of 32 female Daily Show production staff members criticized Carmon's piece for being inaccurate and misinformed, as did Munn herself in an interview, in which she stated that Carmon's assertion was insult both to her and to the rest of the Daily Show staff.
