Samantha Bee at Stanford University

Where there is truth, there is bound to be humor, and comedian Samantha Bee’s bare-all approach is representative of that. The hyperaware Bee, fearlessly exposes the hypocritical nature of the elite on her TBS comedy show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Her witty, razor-tongued jabs explore the most glaring topics of our flammable political climate and culture. The goofs border on social satire and activism, continually inciting frenzies on Twitter. Bee’s popularity sprouted from her 12-year-long deadpan reporting on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, recently deemed “the real fake news.” She served the longest tenure out of all Daily Show alums, including Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Steve Carell.
