You should not conflate the two..

A comedy special is a one off event based on a single person (and only their bankability).. a movie or tv has a budget and you are negotiating within said budget.

I think that there are two issues... Monique isnt as hot AND her team is not built to negotiate the best deals in her favor.. her husband definitely has her best Interests at heart but he may not know how or who to play the game with out here...

Nicole Kidman is literally at ever awards show and always shot on red carpets.. her social media may not show it but no one would doubt in an older female demo she is iconic. you pulled her ig and that bitch is almost at half a mil and she started it earlier this month.
