Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has concluded on TBS.
After seven seasons, the cable network has discontinued the weekly late-night series.
It is the latest significant cancellation at Warner Bros. Discovery since the merger. Other cancellations on the network include the second season of Chad and the reality series The Big D, which was canceled before its launch.
It’s a setback for late-night diversity because Bee was the most visible female talk show host, and her departure comes only days after Desus & Mero separated and quit their Showtime late-night series. Bee was one of the few late-night talk show hosts that would go into sensitive topics like abortion.
“As we continue to create our new programming strategy, we’ve taken some painful, business-based decisions,” a TBS spokesman told Deadline. TBS has canceled Full Frontal With Samantha Bee. We are thrilled to have been Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s home, and we congratulate Sam and the rest of the Emmy-nominated crew for their revolutionary work. We salute this very talented cast and crew and look forward to finding additional chances to collaborate with them in the future.”
The former Daily Show reporter recently celebrated her 200th episode of the show, which she shot in the woods outside her house during the epidemic.
