True enough, but also don't have cable.

this is holding up very well so far

i agree, pleasantly surprised. honestly thought i'd get sick of Bee's persona fast but it's working for me

this show isn't incredibly rhetorically sophisticated (by which i mean, it's very blunt and didactic), but it is smart. i like their multi-part piece on the christian right, which argues that politicized evangelism was always about racial identity, and that the support of the religious right for trump is not by any means out of historical character.

As much as I enjoy SB snarking in front of photoshops, the little filmed pieces of this are the highlights for me. The Bergman JEB! film haunts me to this day. I can't think of a better satire show at the moment (recommendationsS), not least because she's not afraid to get rightously angry.

her team is excellent and poised to get real famous.

Who's watching tonight's show with Glenn Beck? I'm excited, I like her so much!

JacobSanders, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 03:25 (seven years ago) link

oh dang, i'm definitely gonna watch (tomorrow, though, or whenever it goes up online)

i wish her show could be on every night

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 03:27 (seven years ago) link

So, like, her being in favor of segregated NYC schools isn't a deal breaker?

Blue Demon III (lpz), Tuesday, 20 December 2016 18:48 (seven years ago) link

hmm?

Evan, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 18:53 (seven years ago) link

something tells me that's an oversimplification of whatever the heck lpz is referring to.

a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Tuesday, 20 December 2016 18:58 (seven years ago) link

it's all jason jones to be fair, but this is something the daily show would make fun of: One P.S. 452 parent speaking out against the move is comedian and former Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones, who’s married to Samantha Bee. "To portray any opposition as classist or racist is as bad as it can get," Jones told WNYC. And elsewhere: "We are not divided,” he said at a public hearing about the proposal, “we are absolutely united in wanting what's best for our children," then encouraged fellow parents not to talk to the press about the controversy.

I think it's pretty hard to find a human being who isn't a hypocrite about something.

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Tuesday, 20 December 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link

but they both dislike trump so let's laud them obv

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 20 December 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link

i remember this from when it first came out, definitely does seem like a shitty stance on its face and ideally it would be nice to see she and *Jones at least address it in some context to offer their reasoning. but it hasn't kept me from enjoying her show, no.

*maybe i'm being an apologist for Bee but everything I've seen about this story has only quoted her husband and not her. can't automatically assume they're lockstep on this issue.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 17 March 2017 00:49 (seven years ago) link

the entire episode was fantastic. that was one of her very best, i think.

Karl Malone, Friday, 17 March 2017 00:50 (seven years ago) link

^ Completely agree.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 17 March 2017 00:53 (seven years ago) link

her show feels like the heiress apparent to bush-era daily show, only better

Karl Malone, Friday, 17 March 2017 00:57 (seven years ago) link

I can never figure out when this show is on. It either seems to constantly be on hiatus or about to come back from hiatus.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 17 March 2017 01:10 (seven years ago) link

it's on wednesday nights. they just came back last week, after a 3 or 4 week hiatus that was unexplained. it would be cool if they ever just updated the website with a "we'll be back in a month!" kind of message.

Karl Malone, Friday, 17 March 2017 01:20 (seven years ago) link

Hi Josh, I'd recommend watching it on http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18vz5hUUqxbGvym9ghtX_w

It's usually up on the same night. But if you prefer cable, that's cool.

Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Friday, 17 March 2017 01:37 (seven years ago) link

It's funny looking at one of the series listings they finished season 1 on the 1st anniversary of the show, then did series 2 episode 1 then took a couple week's break so they're now on series 2 episode 3 I think.

Stevolende, Friday, 17 March 2017 01:45 (seven years ago) link

^ Yeah, it's been pretty confusing. IMDB lists by season and usually has dates ahead of time, but this is a tough show to follow schedule-wise.

Find some of this funny but was surprised/disappointed about the fawning over Clinton and calling her "a proggesive feminist". Unless that was a joke but I don't think it was.

Some of the interviews seem unnecessarily mocking too.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 16:51 (seven years ago) link

what's going on here? I thought she was starting a new season but can't see upcoming episodes.
Was the Not the Correspondents Dinner thing a sign off or something?

Stevolende, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:16 (six years ago) link

There's a new episode tonight.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:20 (six years ago) link

TBS is really isn't doing her any favors though. She'll be back for two, three, four weeks, and then have a week or two weeks off, and then come back, and then be off.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:21 (six years ago) link

According to tv listings, the next new episode after tonight is on May 31st.

Great segment

Unchanging Window (Ross), Friday, 9 June 2017 02:33 (six years ago) link

Again, can never tell when it's on! Tbf, I don't have cable, so I try to find copies of it online, but even when clips proliferate the spots where I can usually find my TV faves there's typically no Sam Bee. She lives in the same weird purgatory as Conan.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 June 2017 12:06 (six years ago) link

I am...curious about how that segment at the left forum turned out

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 9 June 2017 12:54 (six years ago) link

I just have to DVR it, otherwise I'd never know

show is great but the field correspondent segments are kinda cringey to me

frogbs, Friday, 9 June 2017 13:56 (six years ago) link

> ven when clips proliferate the spots where I can usually find my TV faves there's typically no Sam Bee.

it's on youtube, you tube.

Child Brides segment was great

Unchanging Window (Ross), Friday, 16 June 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link

There's a weekly set of Comedy News taht turns up on at least PIrate Bay that it turns up in. That also includes all the monologues from the Night shows like Conan, Stephen colbert etc.

have had a couple of individual torrents of FF recently that haven't worked on my memory stick/tv set up. But could at least watch it on my computer.

Stevolende, Friday, 16 June 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link

Bee has really upped her game IMO, show is on fire

Unchanging Window (Ross), Friday, 30 June 2017 19:41 (six years ago) link

folks is it wrong to support michelle wolf and want her to succeed but at the same time refuse to watch her show because her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to you

and TOWERS MONACO as 'seaman' (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 7 June 2018 14:55 (five years ago) link

MW's stand up is strong. The pre-recorded pieces are meh. Her voice is whatever, I only cringe sometimes because I can tell that other people hate it.

Yerac, Thursday, 7 June 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link

I don't mind her voice, it is what it is, but there was one bit in the first episode with that other comedian where they were on a couch literally yelling at us.

I thought the Amazon Echo lunchmeat thing was hilarious.

I do like when MW puts on the Elizabeth Holmes fake voice.

Yerac, Thursday, 7 June 2018 16:00 (five years ago) link

The me too skit was funny in episode 2

One of my qualms with wolfs show is her segments like “cute animal videos and fails” or whatever, which feels like someone is YouTubing for me and that’s terrible. Thankfully she used that segment to tear down Roseanne instead

i find michelle wolf's voice to be weirdly compelling

also find it endearing/cool that apparently she used to be a collegiate track athlete and is really into ultramarathons?

still routinely enjoying this show lol

jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 March 2019 14:39 (five years ago) link

I still watch this every week. I catch bits and pieces of The Daily Show, Colbert and Seth Myers (the monologues) from the night before or like on the weekend when I am cooking and although I like all of those there is way, way too much overlap in political jokes. Hasan Minhaj, John Oliver, Sam Bee and weekly formats are so much better for fresher political takes.
