Thursday evening marked the inimitable, upsettingly talented Jessica Williams’ last episode of The Daily Show before leaving to start work on her own show for Comedy Central. I’m not sure what caliber send-off would have satisfied me, but this wasn’t it! Maybe I love too deeply?
After Donald Trump, the person that happens when a GOP-leaning member of mutant gang in The Hills Have Eyes has a wet dream, told members of the press that he thought the UK’s recent break from the European Union was a “fantastic thing,” Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee decided to take matters into her own hands—with…
On the latest episode of Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, our host took a beautiful rhetorical dump on the Republican Party, whose comrades in the Senate recently rejected four extremely sane measures restricting gun sales one week after 49 people were murdered in an Orlando gay club.
“There is no shortage of troubled twenty-somethings out there, and whether they’re radicalized by ISIS or homophobia or white nationalism or a dislike of movies, we are making it far too easy for their derangement to kill us.”
After months and months of incurring a litany of salty tweets from melting orange popsicle Donald Trump, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has finally fired back, and it is glorious to behold.

On Monday evening, Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee turned her attention to the thousands and thousands of little boxes of pristine evidence that police departments across the U.S. have been holding onto for no conceivable reason: rape kits.
Last night Joe Scarborough, a man with a sizable collection of navy blue blazers and an affinity for wearing loafers without socks, had some advice for Hillary Clinton, “Smile,” he wrote on Twitter, “You just had a big night.”
Samantha Bee is attempting the seemingly impossible and no, this time we’re not talking about her bid to blow a vagina-shaped hole in the boys club that is late night TV. Instead, we’re speaking of her sincere effort to sit down with Trump supporters and hear what they have to say without making fun of them. It does…
On Monday evening’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Bee took on the cottage industry dedicated to teaching children how to fight back during school shootings. This is the wrong approach, she sensibly pointed out.
There’s a scrappy quality to Full Frontal, the new TBS late night talk show led by former Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee. Confident and natural on stage, the host—who’s currently (as no one’s been able to let her forget) the only woman in late night—strikes out immediately with a fury that’s startling and…

A recent Samantha Bee interview in New York Magazine reveals that the writers room for her new show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, is “50 percent female and 30 percent nonwhite,” making it one of the most (if not the most) diverse writing staffs in late night.
In September, Vanity Fair ran a story in which 10 male late-night hosts were featured and referred to as, “all of the titans of late night television.” As expected, the internet blew up at the lack of women in the portrait, especially the absence of one particular fixture from late night TV. Samantha Bee, a longtime…
Despite its position as liberal watchdog and Jon Stewart’s persona as mensch-y everyman, his legacy at The Daily Show has been tainted by its perceived woman problem. Critics have pointed out that its female correspondents have been few and far-between, and the writing staff (as with every late night show) has…
We’re smack dab in the middle of New York City’s inaugural Men’s Fashion Week, and to mark the occasion Samantha Bee wandered over to a model casting at designer Robert Geller’s studio for an enthusiastic round of offensive intellectual assessments and congratulatory muscle-squeezing.
Samantha Bee will host a new ‘late night’ show on TBS this year. According to Deadline, the series doesn’t have a premiere date, but it does have a trailer. In it, Bee thoughtfully regards a wall of framed late night talk show hosts - all men. When a waiter approaches her with a tray of sausages, she declines by…
