One of the biggest strengths, amongst many, of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is the creativity in which they can descriptively tear someone apart.

To prove that point and to possibly give you a few minutes of ease today, they made a supercut of Sam Bee’s many many takedowns of The Donald. Watch it and enjoy it here.

Oh, you should also know we’ll all be graced with a double dose of Samantha Bee this week will be an episode of Full Frontal tonight and then on Wednesday after the election.

What fills the nightmares that are inspired by a Trump presidency seem endless. Yet, what the reality Trump presidency might be like is still sort of a question.

That’s why Full Frontal with Samantha Bee found an example of what that might be like and didn’t even have to go to the Philippines and see Rodrigo Duterte to do so. In our own backyard, the administration of Governor Paul LePage in Maine gives a pretty good preview of Trump in office.

These Daily Show with Jon Stewart alums, Samantha Bee and Stephen Colbert, seem to be in the highest of highs with comedy hosting their own big time shows.

As such, when Bee stopped by on Colbert they got a bit nostalgic for both their time at The Daily Show and the days of their lives that didn’t have to focus on the election.

The findings from this field report might not be shocking to you, but they’re still pretty entertaining, especially when they have a Trump supporter who thought Trump won chats with a Hillary supporter after the debate finishes.

Watch Full Frontal’s delve into watching the debate on both sides of the aisle here.

Kate McKinnon, Tracee Ellis Ross, Samantha Bee, Niecy Nash, and Allison Janney Sound Off on “Why Men Aren’t Funny”

This is a nice counterpoint to that infamous, inflammatory, and completely unnecessary Christopher Hitchens essay from 2007 voiced by some of the most notable funny people around today that just happen to be women.

Sure, 2007 was almost a decade ago and there has always been evidence against Hitchens, but it’s always fun to skewer his Why Women Aren’t Funny piece every once in awhile.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee to Do Hour Long Election Specials and Up Digital Presence

That’s all good with us.

Samantha Bee Victorious As TBS Apologizes For Post Comparing Hillary Clinton To Hyena | Deadline

Apparently, Samantha Bee just proved she is just as effective as the host of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee as being part of Turner Broadcasting System’s Internal Affairs/Brand Management.

Over social media, TBS cracked a joke comparing Hillary Clinton to a hyena and Samantha Bee called them out immediately. An apology quickly followed and the whole incident is now over.

Even though Samantha Bee just premiered this year, this is a pretty good display of how much she means to TBS.

You’re going to get a lot of comedy crossing paths with the political party conventions over the next two weeks.

Thankfully, out of the gate, Colbert and Samantha Bee have gone in depth at the RNC first. Bee went to Cleveland and tried to find out why, specifically, there’s a looming sense of chaos about the whole event. Spoiler alert: there are plenty of reasons.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been off for what seems like way too long as Bee has quickly positioned herself as a voice in late night who people want to hear in times of crisis.

Her breakdown of the start of the RNC and Trump’s VP pick Mike Pence is a good example of this.

full frontal, late night, orlando shooting, pulse, samantha bee

As Samantha Bee points out in this segment, late night hosts are supposed to take a sincere moment to reflect when hosting a late night talk show following a tragic event like this weekend’s mass shooting of Pulse in Orlando.

Bee has proved that she’s not like the rest of the boys club in her short time in hosting Full Frontal and has set herself apart by never pulling any of her punches on the show. Her segment covering the deadliest mass shooting in American history is no different and we love her for it. It’s a perfect mix of rage, comedy, and a timely message.

It’s rare that you see two late night hosts get really ‘inside baseball’ about their craft while on air on one of their own late night programs.

When it does happen, it’s fascinating as you’re pointed out subtle, subconscious nuances that probably contribute to why you love something like Full Frontal with Samantha Bee or Conan.

Watch Conan O’Brien, Samantha Bee, and Andy Richter do exactly that when they dish over desks in late night here.

Last night, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee delves into a rarely talked about side of Super PACs: the donors.

Many are on board for the idea that Super PACs are one of the leading problems in politics, but few take the time to go to learn about one of the literal sources of those said Super PACs.

Samantha Bee actually sat down with one of the most unfortunate Super PAC donors and learned of his plight in another great remote segment. Watch it here.

Samantha Bee and Patton Oswalt Take an Orson-Welles-F-For-Fake Angle When Discussing the Hoax That Is Crisis Pregnancy Centers

abortion, anti choice, crisis pregnancy center, f for fake, full frontal, orson welles, patton oswalt, samantha bee, tbs

We’re not exactly sure who on the Full Frontal with Samantha Bee writing staff is or are cineaste(s), but we really dig what they’re doing. Already, they’ve made a great Werner Herzog style piece on Jeb Bush.

Their latest piece sharply debunks “Crisis Pregnancy Centers”, which falsely parade around as places that you might be able to get an abortion. That got cleverly framed around a riff on Orson Welles’ fantastic meta-documentary about grifters, F For Fake.

On top of that, they got one the biggest cineastes of them all, Patton Oswalt, to play Welles’ role.

Watch it all here.

Bonus content from this week’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee includes the great Dave Hill unveiling a new call-to-action song for the 2016 election, “Who’s it Gonna Be? (Trump or Hillary)”.

As luck would have it, the first people to hear this song have, are, and will always “feel the bern”

Samantha Bee Visits Bernie Sanders Supporters to Try to Find Out Why They’re So Damn Optimistic

bernie bros, bernie sanders, presidential primary, samantha bee

In the interests of sticking it to both sides of the aisle on Full Frontal, Samantha Bee is countering her chat with Trump supporters by sitting down and listening to fervent supporters of Bernie Sanders.

Despite how tempting the daydreaming of progress seemed, Bee couldn’t grasp how people ‘feeling the bern’ didn’t share her and many others’ cynicism of the political process.

Watch the interview here.

Samantha Bee Proves That It’s Harder to Buy a Costume for the NRA’s Mascot Eddie Eagle Than It Is to Buy Several Guns

eddie eagle, full frontal, gun control, gun show loophole, nra, samantha bee, satire, tbs

On last night’s Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Samantha discovered that there is more bureaucratic red tape to get a costume for Eddie Eagle, the NRA’s mascot used to educate children about gun safety, than there is to buy a handgun, rifle, or shotgun in several states.

It’s just more of the Lord’s work being done by Bee and her Full Frontal staff.
