JGibson Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 TBS cancels Full Frontal With Samantha Bee after 7 seasons. This is very sad indeed, because I liked her show. This is a sad consequence of the Warner Bros./Discovery merger. The Hollywood Reporter: Quote TBS has canceled its late-night show Full Frontal With Samantha Bee in the latest pullback from original programming at the cable outlet. The Emmy-winning late night series is finished after seven seasons, with the last installment having aired on June 23. “Samantha Bee is honored to have hosted the Emmy Award-winning series Full Frontal With Samantha Bee on TBS for seven seasons, but the show will not return to the network this fall,” a statement from Bee’s reps reads. “Bee made television history in the late night space, paving the way for female voices in what has traditionally been, and continues to be a male dominated landscape. Full Frontal With Samantha Bee consistently broke barriers with Sam and her team boldly using political satire to entertain, inform and empower viewers, while embracing critically underrepresented stories, particularly about women.” Full Frontal is the latest in a string of cancellations at the so-called TNets — TBS, TNT and TruTV — following the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery.
Relampago. Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Meh, she was kind of annoying. Sad for her though.
fridayteenage Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 hmm, the emmys had gotten over it in recent years so it didn't have that going either.
Gui Blackout Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 I loved all the episodes throughout the 2016 election, but then she just became obnoxious
ClashAndBurn Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Quote The show, which became a signature program for the large cable network TBS, “will not return to the network in the fall,” according to a statement from Bee’s representatives. “As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions,” TBS said in a statement. “We are proud to have been the home to ‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’ and thank Sam, and the rest of the Emmy-nominated team for their groundbreaking work. We celebrate this extraordinarily talented cast and crew and look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them in the future.” https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/samantha-bee-canceled-full-frontal-1235324772/ Edited July 26, 2022 by ClashAndBurn
Temporal Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Shame, I really liked her show a few years ago, but the new content lately wasn't hitting.
Uncatena Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Not true, the ratings were like this since the beginning basically. It was extremely cheap to produce. This has everything to do with the Discovery merger. TBS is currently basically killing every single show it produces because their CEO wants completely different content. They literally had an entire season of a comedy show ready to air and pulled the plug. American Dad is kind of the only thing left standing.
Bloodflowers. Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 They should find someone actually funny this time around. Chelsea Handler was great on Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon or whatever just few weeks ago.
slw84 Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Wonderful im sure she’ll find a new opportunity so enough

Yeah, this is what I recall reading when it first happened so this explanation makes a lot more sense.
EnoughSaid Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Could care less about Samantha Bee. But Not Stephanie Ruhle stomping on Ms Don Lemon like that wow. He’s really tanking

Swag Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Did it actually have full frontals? Because if it didn't it would be false advertising...
Jude Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 I'm surprised James Corden is flopping while Jimmy Fallon is still smashing.
