Samantha Bee is a comedian, political commentator, and a late night television show host. Bee hosts the late night comedy show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on TBS. She started out as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. She was on the show for twelve years and was the longest serving correspondent before leaving in 2015 for her own show. According to The Cut, Bee has talked about women’s rights like abortion and child care, examined current political issues including gun control and immigration, and criticized Donald Trump and the alt-right, or the conservative/republican party. (The Cut) Samantha Bee is an influencing voice of the generation because she does not shy away from current events and politics in

According to The Daily Beast, the best part of Bee’s show is that it is truly her own. (The Daily Beast) It has a knack for feminism and some irreverent humor. It also has some quick-witted commentary about relevant social and economic issues. Her style of being brutally honest about the current events has made her a fan favorite. Her coverage consists of women’s issues, but Bee has proven more than expert at touching on all issues including climate change and the election, which her show premiered in the middle of. Most shows more than likely would not even have risked to start a show during such a time in the media. This is an example of Bee daring to go farther than what has been done before.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is a talk show and satire series that has already become an welcomed part of late night television. Full Frontal has been called “the most mercilessly feminist show” by critics and fans. “We kept saying, ‘Oh, our show is gonna be different … not just because it is being hosted by a woman, but because it is being hosted by a different human being. It is being hosted by me, and I have a different point of view.” (Vulture) Full Frontal comes to life when Bee’s inner rage explodes. This aspect of the …show more content…
Bee was the feminist voice needed this year with the current events going on today’s society. I know that feminism may not be as popular with the older generations, but it certainly is with the millennial generation. "She happens to be one of those rare people who is able to see the urgency of things when others may not," Stewart says to me, "Especially when it is something that she really feels connected to.

"OK, so Iowans chose fist-faced horseshit salesman Ted Cruz as their new prize heifer," she announced, after skewering both "Hermione Clinton" and "blustery old grandpa" Bernie Sanders. (Rolling Stone) She is not afraid of making fun of candidates on both sides of politics. She has said that her show will lean into important issues from a unique, personal perspective, and that means it is steeped in her “woman-ness,” as she says. That does not mean that it is “for women only.” Anyone who speculates that is more dated and exhausting than the conversation itself. The show takes on a perspective that is so prosperous and ready for exploration that the material on the show is sharper and, because of that,
