Can someone please explain who this lady is? I've seen her in other memes, they all have this "documentary host/ journalist" style. I presume she must be some well known journalist or news anchor?

Actually, she's a comedian. These are from a show called Cunk on <Various Subjects>, a mockumentary series.

Wait, there's more than Cunk on Earth? Damn, I'd love to watch them some time.

She also has a book, Cunk on Everything

LOL thank you!

She is Diane Morgan playing Philomena Cunk in a series of "mockumentaries", where her ignorance of the subject leads to her accidentally dropping insightful truth bombs.

Cunk! Go watch her skits. She's so good!
