This is a pet peeve of mine... when it comes to getting guests, panel shows often hire comedians for the majority of their male guests, but for the female guests they don't hire female comedians, they hire presenters, pop stars or actors. Why? Because female presenters are usually conventionally attractive. So audiences who watch panel shows see a discrepancy between how funny the men are vs. how funny the women are and it perpetuates the "female comedians aren't funny" stereotype. It's a completely unfair comparison, because it involves men whose job it is to be funny vs. women whose job it is to be pretty and read things off a cue card.

Victoria Coren is a good presenter and not without wit, but she's still not a comedian. She gets these gigs because she's pretty good for a presenter, but I'd bet good money that her personal appearance factors heavily into it as well.
