Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is amazing

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

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

i wish her show could be on every night

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

hmm?

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

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.

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

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.

it will never stop surprising me how many heroes there are on the internet.

and how many apologists

i'm ready to accept your teachings, just tell me how to live, dammit!

Bee's piece on the liberal resistance was good.

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

^ Completely agree.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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?

There's a new episode tonight.

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.

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

Great segment

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.

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

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

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

> 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

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.

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

really loved the mike pence/children of the corn joke from this week

It will never not be hilarious that Elizabeth Warren's favorite TV show is Ballers

slightly perturbed that they illustrated it with Village of the Damned children not ones from the right film though

piece on Kurdistan was great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpdoyBhrfI4

In 1988, I volunteered building an elementary school in Costa Rica. My host was a local named Nixon.

she's great but never clear when she's on

yeah too many damn gaps in scheduling

it's so fucking confusing. becomes an act of research to confirm when she's on - which sucks

Jo Miller, the executive producer and head writer of “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” since its debut in 2016, has parted ways with the show, the network confirmed on Monday.

:(

show has sadly become drastically uneven and still has not got past being patchy as to when it airs. when it's good it's great but the celebrity musical numbers and many of the produced bits are particularly bad. last episode's attempt to engage the acting crew seemed a bit desperate; they need to incorporate them but shuttling from talking head to talking head ain't gonna work.

Hello! First post from a random mutt wandering by. Last week a Samantha Bee show producer spent an hour with me scoping out a story...

Speaking of patchy, that's my byline where I write about furries. Lately there's a bit of a nazi problem in that community, yes that's a word for it lately too...

There's a new book about them out yesterday from Cleis Press. And speaking of the nazi thing here's tags for it (one) (two) if you care.

The news site is a silly hobby thing, but interesting stuff has happened with it. The nazi thing is yet another push into geek groups (along with gaming, sci fi, comics) so we had some infiltrators document them from the inside, which synched with the Charlottesville nazi marching. I documented a couple of them on the scene of violence. We had them do "swatting" against a furry convention with a 5-figure security cost. And there's been more in the news like another convention getting ruined by them, I broke a story about it that Rolling Stone picked up. With all this going on I would be into stepping up the game by learning from peers in indie reporting.

welcome, sparkledog.

your post is really, really interesting, and i bet a lot of people on ILX would want to know more. this isn't the most heavily visited thread - you should check out the the alt-right thread.

(which, to be clear, is a thread for discussing the alt-right, not a thread for alt-righters!)

still routinely enjoying this show lol

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.
