The Daily Show

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is an American late-night talk show that airs on Mondays on TBS in the United States. It also airs on The Comedy Network in Canada. The show premiered on February 8, 2016, and is hosted by comedian Samantha Bee, previously a correspondent on The Daily Show.[1][2] The show "applies her smart and satirical point of view to current and relevant issues."[3][4]

Production

Bee in 2011

Samantha Bee served as a correspondent on The Daily Show for 12 years, becoming its longest tenured correspondent.[5][6] She was not approached about succeeding Jon Stewart as the show's host when Stewart announced he would leave the show.[6] Bee and her husband, Jason Jones, pitched television shows to networks, and their scripted series, called The Detour, was picked up by TBS in February 2015. TBS then decided to extend their relationship with Bee to develop a late-night talk show to pair with Conan.[7]

Bee hired Jo Miller and Miles Kahn, formerly producers of The Daily Show, as executive producers for her new show. They set up a blinded process for hiring writers that hid the gender and experience level of the applicants, resulting in a writing staff that is approximately half female and 30% non-white.[7][8] The show is written by Jo Miller, Miles Kahn, Samantha Bee, Pat Cassels, Ashley Black, Melinda Taub, Joe Grossman, Jason Reich and Mathan Erhardt.[9] The show hired Winter Miller to help develop a mentorship program to help diversify the writing room.[8] Though the show's format is not yet finalized, Bee indicated that she will have segments that focus on news headlines, field pieces, and "grab bag" segments. She filmed a segment about how the Veterans Health Administration is not prepared to treat female soldiers,[7] and filmed a segment in Jordan. There will be no guests on the series.[5] Miller indicated that the show will be more interested in injustice than in hypocrisy.[6]

Full Frontal shares a studio with Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and Bee's offices previously housed Stephen Colbert and his staff while renovations were taking place at the Ed Sullivan Theater for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Full Frontal is the only currently airing late-night talk show in the United States which is hosted by a woman.[7][8]

In the United States, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee airs weekly on Mondays at 10:30 p.m. EST on TBS. In Canada, the show airs on The Comedy Network.
