An Election Without ‘The Daily Show’ As A Major Player

At a Television Critics Association press conference on Sunday, TBS president Kevin Reilly spoke for many TV viewers when he said that he wants to “give Samantha Bee as many hours as she’d like” of her show Full Frontal. As Bee’s network boss, Reilly said there will be “expanded, hour-long” versions of Full Frontal “as the election progresses, as well as a more robust digital presence” for the show. Since she graduated from Jon Stewart’s institute of political humor, a new dean has moved in, but lots of us are cutting his classes.
