Samantha Bee's Newly Uncovered Lewd "Hot Mike" Gaffe

Yes, it's a joke. But very funny, and very fast!

Samantha Bee: The Proud Tradition of Fear Mongering

Samantha Bee Puts "Creation" of Trump Squarely on. . .Democrats?

For a while now, conversation in my house has been over the fact that Donald Trump's ascendency is a result of an out-of-control Republican Party building their own Frankenstein's Monster. The main difference ironically being that the angry villagers are actually on his side.

Former Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee (via her new TBS program, Full Frontal) correctly finds Frankenstein's ancestor: and he is us. In other words, Democrats, who stayed home and ignored the 2010 election. I warned about this myself in several blog posts (to my admittedly tiny corner of the internets), but couldn't ever have foreseen what it would lead to. Samantha's right of course, but only partially. Lazy Democrats enabled the already angry, frothy GOP base to rise to the top and take over the mainstream. They furthered this effort by repeating their sloth-like behavior in 2014.

There's something less sexy about mid-term elections to swaths of Democrats. And let's face it. The only time you hear laments about our two-party system, is when we're down to the wire. Nobody seems willing to build up third or fifth national parties in the off-years. The only ones chugging away in those years, running the long game? Republicans. And as feckless and gormless as they can be, they're really good at the long game.

On Monday night, late night host Samantha Bee said Democrats should shoulder some of the blame for Donald Trump, the billionaire reality show star who is likely to become the Republican Party's presidential nominee. . .

Samantha Bee Leaves The Daily Show

While it's more than a little upsetting that Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show, it's nearly as bad that many of the long-time correspondents are leaving as well. Following her husband, fellow "reporter" Jason Jones, Samantha Bee has now officially gone. And she may have been one of the strongest spices in the Daily Show stew. The clip retrospective used on Thursday night's show proves just how powerful (and powerfully funny) she was.

Left Behind: Samantha Bee Examines the Plight of Persecuted Christians

I'm consistently amazed that The Daily Show with Jon Stewart John Oliver is able to line up guests for their roving reports. That they have yet to discover that they are the joke, I don't know. Such is the case with reporter Samantha Bee's mock sympathy over anti-gay Christians who feel persecuted because it is unfashionable to openly malign gay people. It's both hilarious and a bit disturbing. These are nutty people.

Daily Show's Samantha Bee Mocks Grover Norquist

I love Sam Bee (and her chubby hubby, Jason Jones). And I'm flat-out amazed that someone as allegedly "important" as Grover Norquist would sit for an interview with her. But Sam takes her usual mockery to a whole 'nother level! Grover really is just a nerdy middle schooler who never grew up, and is stuck on his one "big idea." I don't usually post two things from the same source in a row, but this is too good not to share.

Daily Show's Samantha Bee on Palin's "Choice"

This clip continues a trend this week on The Daily Show's funniest stuff ever. To watch these conservatives take such pains to avoid using the word "choice" is nothing short of hilarious. Great job, Sam Bee!

Daily Show's Jon Stewart & Samantha Bee on Palin

As usual, it is best left to the pros on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart for the best analysis on the serious news topics of the day. And all done in a funny way. I wasn't aware it was even on last night, so it's great that they make the clips available now.

Check out Stewart and Samantha Bee, for the lowdown on John McCain's veep choice, Sarah Palin. And yes, over the next few days I'm hoping to have a little less about Palin on the blog. But no promises.

Jon Stewart Rips on MSNBC for On-Air Tiffs

There seems to be some level of discord over at MSNBC, as I've noted here previously. Either they all hate each other, are extremely competitive, or are just like a typical "family" that gets on each others' nerves a lot. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart captured it all, and comment on it in a way I can't even aspire to, so just watch and I'll shut up.

Daily Show's Samantha Bee Reviews Sex & the City

Samantha Bee is one of my favorite "reporters" on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, along with her husband, Jason Jones. Here, Sam reviews the Sex and the City movie. . .well, sort of. Funny stuff.

Daily Show: Sex Scandals, Sam Bee & Jason Jones

While the Spitzer story leaves me rather cold, leave it to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to provide the funny. Here, correspondants Samantha Bee and Jason Jones (married in real life) confront the cameras with a scandal of their own. Be sure to take note of Jason's clothes.
