As the ex-wife - and future rekindled love - of Doctor Perry Cox, you knew that Jordan would be a handful. But, the wild and irrational board member ended up turning into a beloved part of the core cast thanks to her quick wit, sharpness and crude humour. So, why not grab someone who can do that on stage for hours?

Ali Wong rose to prominence thanks to her Netflix comedy specials Baby Cobra and Hard Knock Wife. In both of these, she proved that she's hilarious, clever and willing to reveal embarrassing things about herself just to get a laugh, meaning she'd slot here perfectly.

Wong is no stranger to the big screen either, as she's taken on roles in Birds of Prey, American Housewife and more. However, her most considerable success is Always Be My Maybe, a rom-com she wrote and starred in, proving her capabilities as a comedy actor, leading lady, and writer.

She's got all the right stuff, and casting her would be an inspired move.
