Comedian Samantha Bee: A Paper Plate With A Slice Of Pizza On It Would Be A Better President

All Ears is kicking off Season 2 with comedian Samantha Bee. As the host of Full Frontal on TBS since 2016, and as a correspondent on The Daily Show for 12 years prior, Sam has been skewering politicians, culture, and society’s sacred cows for the better part of two decades. And she’s really good at it! Abby talks to Sam about growing up in Canada with a Wiccan mom, an atheist dad, and a serious schoolgirl crush on Jesus. Sam describes her journey from pre-law student to comedian, and how the platform of late night news satire became the new face of journalism in modern American politics. Along the way Sam developed a spine of steel, her own show, and a sense of responsibility to tell underreported stories and collaborate with show staffers who represent diverse racial, economic, and gender viewpoints. Did we mention she’s funny? Yeah, that too!Full Frontal with Samantha Bee airs on TBS on Wednesdays at 10:30 PM ESTFind Samantha Bee on Twitter @iamsambee and @FullFrontalSamBeeEPISODE LINKS The Cut - Smirking in the Boys’ Room With Samantha BeeNY Times Opinion - Ivanka Trump's Dangerous Fake FeminismL.A.
