During election years, presidential candidates are promised equal air time at a given TV network. If one candidate gets to be on air for a specific amount of time, other candidates can request that same amount of air time on the same network.

In a similar line of thought, Samantha Bee made sure to grill both sides of the aisle in their individual debates on last night’s Full Frontal.

As she has been doing since day one at her show, Samantha goes for the jugular in her jokes with almost no remorse and we can’t get enough.

Watch her latest breakdown of the most recent GOP and Democratic debates and you’ll see what we mean.

Funny or Die is getting very serious about their content in this election year.

David Litt was not only President Barack Obama’s speech writer, but acted as a lead writer at the last four of Obama’s hit White House Correspondents Association Dinner performances where people consistently were amazed of how funny Obama was (sometimes, more so than the host who is actually a comedian).

So, being one of the lead creatives in heading writing and production at Funny or Die’s Washington D.C. offices is a good move on Funny or Die’s part.
