Samantha Bee, who has spent the past 12 years charming the idiots of America into revealing their ugly opinions on abortion, gay rights, race, and beyond, has officially left her post as correspondent on The Daily Show.
You’d think legislation to guarantee women who have been raped full custody of the children born of those rapes would be pretty easy to pass right? Well, as Samantha Bee learned on The Daily Show Wednesday night, not so much.
Good news on a grim day: The Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee is getting a solo show on TBS, thus continuing the Jon Stewart exodus. Bee's show is in addition to a scripted comedy that's already in development with the network.
Daily Show power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee have sold a comedy pilot to TBS! The show, based on their real-life family vacation experiences, will star Jones as a father who's taking his family on a road trip to Key West. As of now, Bee will remain behind the scenes.
The Daily Show heads to Austin this week, for a string of Texas-themed jokes (Guns! The death penalty! Hats! Everything is so big!) and, last night, a chat with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. But first, they tackled how Texas dealt with its recent brush with Ebola.
Last night on The Daily Show, Samantha Bee staked her claim to the Big Chair while her husband Jason Jones filled in for Stewart (who called in sick). In the introduction for her segment on police shootings, she waxed poetic about the "testosterone-fueled oafs who have proven themselves unfit for their jobs who are…
One of the most repeated shouting points against Obamacare's birth control mandate comes from politicians on the right who claim that "their" tax dollars shouldn't go to support "sexual choices" of women who use whore pills. Meanwhile, the same politicians are eerily silent about the millions of dollars per year the…

Last night on The Daily Show, Samantha Bee debuted (or maybe "unleashed" is a better word) her one woman show about the passion and intrigue surrounding Fox News talk show The Five. What happens when archetypal good girl Dana Perino meets quintessential bad boy Greg Gutfeld? Electricity ensues.
As tension continues to mount between the U.S. and Russia over the issues of Syria, gay rights and Edward Snowden, you have to ask yourself what would happen if an American and a Russian sat down together and talked these issues out with civility and respect. I mean, WHY HASN'T THE GOVERNMENT THOUGHT OF THIS? Oh,…
Both Anthony Weiner (who's running for New York City mayor) and Eliot Spitzer (who's running for New York City comptroller) are leading in their races right now. This is a big deal not only because the pair have seemingly recovered from their respective sex scandals, but because they — Weiner in particular — are now…
Yesterday, Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign from the papacy in over 600 years, sparking rumors that it was some sort of controversy that forced him to step down from the position. It's hard to imagine just how bad it could get for the Catholic church to hold one of their own responsible (what — did he say…
While it's ridiculous that this is even a topic in our national discourse, a lot of people have been throwing around arguments against women in the military these days. First there was Rick Santorum saying that male soldiers will have a harder time doing their jobs because they won't be able to surpress their…
Last night, Samantha Bee, Cybill Shepherd, Dr. Ruth, Cosmopolitan's editor-in-chief, and a lot of rich people gathered to wish the Pill a happy 50th over steak and cocktails. It was pretty fun, especially when Samantha Bee laid into Cosmo.

On The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart made us watch Joe Scarborough pumping his fist and declaring "women power" because of Tuesday's primary results. And Samantha Bee explained why she wasn't all that thrilled about the whole thing.
