Samantha Bee



Samantha Bee is a Canadian-born (though she has both Canadian and American citizenship) comedian who hosts the TBS show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. She was previously a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, along with her husband, Jason Jones.

Her show is similar to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver in that it also often includes "deep dive" pieces on important yet under-covered issues, as well as good old-fashioned political satire of the sort one would expect from Bee's fellow Daily Show alums (Oliver, Stephen Colbert, etc.). It has been noted for its aggressive and attack-laden style of satire, with Bee often going after Republicans and the NRA. Jonathan van Meter described it as "a bit like a cathartic, 22-minute Sex Pistols set, but instead of hurling spit gobs and insults at the royal family in mid-seventies London, she’s throwing verbal Molotov cocktails into the dumpster fire that is American politics in 2017."
