I didn't watch Cooper's show either, except for in short spurts occasionally. But I wasn't the target audience.
Yes, she does look like Ben Shapiro, but I think that's a coincidence. Maybe some subliminal thing in what made her get hired there, though. No chance he's her actual father. He would have had to have done it as a teenager, and at the time he was a short nerdy kid who definitely wasn't getting laid, whether he wanted to or not.
She has a huge following and a lot of her fans really like her. Daily Wire had a good thing going with her, so I'm not sure why they didn't just break out the checkbook and pay. I doubt she was looking for insane money.
With that said, liking wacky anti-Semitic shit from Owens isn't a good look, either.
