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.

In its first five seasons, ‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’ has garnered an Outstanding Writing Emmy for its ‘Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner’ special honoring a free press, as well as seventeen Emmy nominations, a Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information, two additional TCA Award nominations, a WGA nomination, two PGA nominations and four DGA nominations.
