Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not return on TBS. The weekly late-night show lasted for seven seasons.

“After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall. We’re so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week—that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang,” said @FullFrontalSamB on Twitter. 

Bee was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart before starting Full Frontal.

When season seven was announced last year, TBS said, “Shining a spotlight on important issues and people, Sam provides needed commentary and asks questions of authority and ourselves that need to be asked,” while noting Bee’s knack for timely and topical humor. 

The series is executive-produced by Bee, Jones, Tony Hernandez of Jax Media, Miles Kahn, Alison Camillo and Pat King. ■

TBS late night series Full Frontal With Samantha Bee will return for a seventh season on a new night beginning in January, the network announced Thursday.

The series will move to Thursday nights from Wednesday when it resumes in 2022 beginning in January, said network officials. The weekly series reaches nearly 2.9 million viewers per episode, said TBS. 

Hosted by comedian Samantha Bee, the series uses political satire to entertain, educate while “keeping the government in check,” according to the network. 

“Shining a spotlight on important issues and people, Sam provides needed commentary and asks questions of authority and ourselves that need to be asked,” said Brett Weitz, General Manager TNT, TBS and truTV in a statement. “But most of all, Sam is just funny and makes me laugh out loud each week. I’m thrilled she will continue to call TBS home.”

Added Bee: “I’m beyond excited to be returning to TBS for a seventh season. Now we have enough seasons for you to binge one every day of the week. I warned you I was tenacious.”

TBS has renewed late-night show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee for season six, which begins Jan. 13. Samantha Bee hosts and executive produces. 

“A trailblazing force in late night, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has continued to use political satire to entertain, educate and empower viewers while keeping the government in check,” said TBS. “This year, Bee also blazed an actual trail from her NYC studio to her backyard, where she taped new episodes during the pandemic with help from her husband and fellow executive producer, Jason Jones.”

TBS also renewed its first look deal with Bee’s production company, Swimsuit Competition.  

“I’m so proud to have Sam part of the TBS family. After creating award-winning episodes from the dire elements of her backyard, I can’t wait to see what she does with some electricity and a roof over her head," said Brett Weitz, general manager of TNT, TBS and truTV.  “She is a champion for important causes and brings issues to light that inspire, entertain and educate.” 

Bee was a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart before starting Full Frontal. The weekly program reaches close to 3.5 million viewers per episode, according to TBS.  

“It’s a huge honor to get to keep doing this crazy, smart and silly show for a sixth season,” said Bee. “Is it official though? Are we still waiting for Pennsylvania to certify the sixth season?” 

The series is executive produced by Bee, Jones, Tony Hernandez of Jax Media, Miles Kahn, Alison Camillo, and Pat King.

TBS' Samantha Bee will be hosting an alternative banquet April 29, Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner, against the annual roast of the president, and presidential roast of the media, that has usually drawn a huge Hollywood contingent, from the cast of House of Cards to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

President Donald Trump has not waited for the dinner to roast the media, which he has consistently slammed as biased and out to delegitimize his election. Over the weekend he suggested The New York Times was Fake News, as he has CNN, and said it should either be remade or folded.

The dinner will be held at the Willard Hotel in Washington. The real correspondents' association dinner will be the same night uptown at the Hilton Hotel in Washington.

The event will air on TBS and the proceeds will go to the Committee to Protect Journalists, "whether they like it or not," says Bee, the host of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on TBS.

"We're really doing this," Bee said in a TBS release. "This is not a joke."

Bee did aim a few jokes at the famously thin-skinned 45th president's harangues at the media. "The evening is sure to bring plenty of surprises, music, food, and laughter -- and if you're not careful you just might learn something. Specifically, you'll learn how screwed we'd be without a free press."

As recently as Monday, Trump echoed his aide Steve Bannon labeling the media his opponents, tweeting: "Where was all the outrage from Democrats and the opposition party (the media) when our jobs were fleeing our country?" He also said both the Times and The Washington Post were dishonest with dwindling readership and subscribership.

TBS was feeling their pain, and said the dinner would be an opportunity to "welcome journalists and non-irritating celebrities from around the world," adding: "We suspect some members of the press may find themselves unexpectedly free that night, and we want to feed them and give them hugs."

TBS has added 26 additional episodes to its weekly late night series Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, two months after the show’s initial premiere, according to network officials.

The comedy series freshman campaign will now feature 39 original episodes, extending its run through the end of the year, said TBS.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is averaging 2.1 million total viewers (Nielsen live +7 ratings), said network officials. The series is executive-produced by Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, Jo Miller, Miles Kahn and Tony Hernandez.

"Sam has positioned herself as an essential voice in late night, and it's pretty clear she's struck a nerve and filled a void," said Brett Weitz, executive vice president of original programming for TBS.

Regarding the extension, Bee added in a statement: "Stay crazy America, I'll be here all year!"
