It’s taken a while for Samantha Bee to get over the “shock” of losing her late-night TV platform. But now that she has, the comedian wants to make it clear that she still has a lot to say.
For our 200th episode, Bee returns to The Last Laugh podcast to look back on the legacy of Full Frontal and ahead to the nationwide live tour she never could have pulled off while still hosting a weekly show. She directly addresses those who found her on-screen persona too “angry” and reveals whether anyone from The Daily Show reached out to her about being a guest host after Trevor Noah stepped down. After everything, Bee is more confident than ever about how she wants this next chapter of her career to go.
When I reveal that Bee is the guest for our 200th episode, she lets out a gasp and replies, “Oh my God! Are you serious? I’m like Queen Elizabeth!”
