I have zero clue who that is....
This is Philomena Cunk, a satirical BBC news reporter. They produce videos in which she interviews historical experts but only asks them stupid questions like “Were the pyramids built from the ground up, or from the top down?”
The best ones are with the philosophy guy imo, he employs the rethorical "Principle of Charity" in such a master class way which turns her stupid questions into profound conundrums which he tackles and he manages to act out this sense of being delighted to finally being asked deep philosophical questions in an interview. It's great.

You do know the URI is the same so you can just change piped.video to youtube.com

Neither does she
Yeah I've never watched BBC programming outside of porn.
Cunk on Earth is comedy porn, so that's close enough.
Cunk
Get cunked on!
Satire "reporter". Check out "Cunk in Earth" on netflix, and you'll understand. I highly recommend it.
Unpopular opinion: I didn't find it as funny as Cunk on Britain. The humour in Cunk on Earth is less subtle; it doesn't have the trademark British dry wit and sarcasm. The new show kind of tries to be funny instead of letting the humour flow. I grew up with British TV so I prefer the first series.
