Future Women's History Month: Samantha Bee's Honest Comedy Is What America Needs
Fuse is celebrating Women's History Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Women's History before our eyes. Today we are honoring TV host, writer and producer Samantha Bee, whose outspoken comedy is the voice of truth this country needs.
Most people probably first saw Samantha Bee during her 12 years on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Bee started on the Comedy Central series in 2003 and became the show's longest on-going correspondent upon leaving in 2015. Despite many feeling Bee was a logical heir to Stewart's Daily Show throne, fate had bigger plans for the comedian–like her own brand-new show on TBS.
When Full Frontal with Samantha Bee premiered in February 2016, Bee became the first woman to lead a late-night news satire show and part of a small group of women who've hosted any kind of late-night show. To top it off, Bee is also an executive producer on Full Frontal.
