On June 3, 2010, Munn debuted 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 said the show's production was sexist for hiring Munn, whom Carmon said was a sex symbol. Carmon said Munn's hiring was a perpetuation of the show production office's history as a male-dominated atmosphere marginalizing and alienating to women. A group of thirty-two female "Daily Show" production staff members said Carmon's piece was inaccurate and misinformed. Munn said that Carmon's assertion was an insult both to her and to the rest of the "Daily Show" staff. She went on to appear in 16 more episodes as a correspondent, with "TV Guide" naming her signature segment "Tiger Mothering," in which she mocked the high expectations of Chinese mothers, in part by interviewing her own mother. Her last episode as a correspondent aired September 2, 2011. She returned for a brief segment in host Jon Stewart's final show on August 6, 2015.
