Podcasts about full frontal with samantha bee

For decades, late night television talk shows were where America snuggled up together and we laughed. The hosts were household names, but also very male and white. Things diversified a bit last decade with hosts like Trevor Noah and Samantha Bee. But now Bee's show is gone and Noah is on his way out.Today, what's next for late-night television? It's a uniquely American genre whose obituary has been written again and again, yet somehow continues to stumble along. Read the full transcript here.Host: Gustavo ArellanoGuests: L.A. Times television critic Lorraine AliMore reading:Trevor Noah's exit won't just hurt ‘The Daily Show.' It'll hurt all of late night‘Full Frontal With Samantha Bee' is the latest casualty in late-night TV's reshuffleAfter a major cast shake-up, ‘SNL' confronts its weaknesses — but can't overcome them

The Fed is expected to announce an increase of up to three-quarters of a percentage point in its benchmark interest rate, triple its usual margin. Investors worry such aggressive action against inflation by the Fed and other central banks in Europe and Asia might derail global economic growth. China's government has rejected as a “political lie” a report by The Wall Street Journal that Beijing tried to recruit informants in the Federal Reserve system to obtain U.S. economic data. The report, citing an investigation by a Senate panel, adds to accusations of Chinese computer hacking and other efforts to steal U.S. commercial and government information. U.S. officials say they have little fear China would attack Nancy Pelosi's plane if she flies to Taiwan. But the U.S. House speaker would be entering one of the world's hottest spots, where a mishap, misstep or misunderstanding could endanger her safety. So the Pentagon is developing plans for any contingency. Britain's railway network has ground to a crawl after 40,000 staff walked off the job in a dispute over jobs, pay and working conditions. A giant Mega Millions lottery jackpot ballooned to $1.02 billion after no one matched all six numbers and won the top prize on Tuesday. People in a southwestern Japanese city have come under attack from monkeys that are trying to snatch babies, biting and clawing at flesh, and sneaking into nursery schools. The monkeys terrorizing the community are Japanese macaque, the kind often pictured peacefully bathing in hot springs. The intensifying rivalry between former President Donald Trump and his once fiercely loyal vice president, Mike Pence, has been put on stark display in Washington. The two gave dueling speeches Tuesday on the future of the Republican Party. Trump, in his first return to Washington since Democrat Joe Biden ousted him from the White House, repeated the false election fraud claims that sparked the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. Pence, in a separate address, implored the party to move on from Trump's defeat. Both men have been laying the groundwork for expected presidential runs in 2024. A strong earthquake has killed at least five people, injured dozens and damaged buildings in the northern Philippines. Scientists say the 7-magnitude quake Wednesday morning was centered around Abra province in a mountainous area, where one person was killed and dozens of others injured. A man who attacked police officers with poles during the U.S. Capitol riot has been sentenced to more than five years in prison. The sentence that U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan gave Mark Ponder on Tuesday matches the longest term of imprisonment so far among hundreds of Capitol riot prosecutions. Lots of baseball action Tuesday including the battle of New York and a possible All-Star catcher who might be traded soon. Also in football, a star wide receiver is signing with a new team and a young quarterback will soon undergo a surgical procedure.  Russia has targeted Ukraine's Black Sea regions of Odesa and Mykolaiv with airstrikes despite a deal that was supposed to allow grain shipments from ports to resume. U.S. consumer confidence slid again in July as concerns about higher prices for food and gas continue to weigh on Americans. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index fell to 95.7 in July from 98.4 in June, largely due to consumers' anxiety over four-decade high inflation. Stocks are closing lower on Wall Street Tuesday after Walmart warned that inflation is negatively impacting American consumers' spending power. Walmart shares plunged after the retail giant cut its profit outlook for the second quarter and the full year, saying rising prices on food and gas are forcing shoppers to cut back on more profitable discretionary items. Record rainfall caused widespread flash flooding across the St. Louis area early Tuesday, killing one person, displacing many others and prompting rescues from vehicles and homes. One person died when a car in St. Louis was found covered in more than 8 feet of water. Folk legend Joni Mitchell has performed her first full-length concert in nearly two decades. The Boston Globe reports she took the stage Sunday at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. A 102-year-old woman is being honored for her service with an all-female, all-Black military unit that got mail to U.S. troops in Europe during World War II. Romay Davis was recognized for her service during an event in her home of Montgomery, Alabama. The Biden administration is working to increase supplies of Monkeypox vaccine, which includes production in this country. Former U.S. women's national team star goalkeeper Hope Solo has pleaded guilty to driving while impaired, almost four months after she was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle in North Carolina with her 2-year-old twins inside. She was given 30 days' credit for time she spent at an in-patient rehabilitation facility. Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow are top contenders with seven nominations at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. Both performers along with Drake, Bad Bunny, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles and Lizzo will compete for artist of the year. TBS is canceling “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” after seven seasons, removing a rare female voice from late-night TV. The channel in a statement Monday says it has made to make some difficult but business-based decisions as part of its new programming strategy. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A nice Wednesday crossword, although both Jean & Mike had a spot of bother in the top-right corner. Both independently came to the conclusion that 12D, "Never-ending" offerings at Olive Garden, was SALADS, as opposed to the other never-ending offerings, PASTAS. Both (also independently) assumed that 25A, Least bit, was ATAD. There was also some unpleasantness with 18A, "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" network, but in the end both (independently) fought their way out of that verbal quagmire in the Northeast. Whew![Addendum: due to an editing error -- we have already sacked our recording engineer -- the audio for this podcast is actually a repeat of Tuesday's show.  We were going to re-record, but since a) we can't remember what we said , and b) this was a darned-good recording, we are going to let it stand.]

Travon Free is an acclaimed standup comedian who has won Emmys for The Daily Show and Full Frontal With Samantha Bee. But his debut film, Two Distant Strangers, is anything but funny. In a horrific twist on time-loop films like Groundhog Day and Palm Springs, Joey Bada$$ plays a man who keeps being racially profiled and shot by the same police officer. Free wrote the film and co-directs with Martin Desmond Roe.We talk about the impressive lengths Free went to to get hired on The Daily Show, how he wrote and filmed Two Distant Strangers during the pandemic, and why right now is the best time to start writing.

They talk about how the lockdown has speeded up this new relationship.Alyson is a retired psychologist and one of the most insightful people Debbie knows. So she picks her brain for a few tips on how to cope, psychologically, during this period of social distancing. They chat briefly about Alyson's children. Amy Hoggart is a well-known actor, writer, and comedian who lives in New York. (Don't miss Amy's hilarious appearances on Full Frontal With Samantha Bee.)

It’s Make-You-Watchathon time! Noel and Kate ring out the end of the ninth year of the podcast with our annual tradition, with each host picking a show to make the other watch. This year, Kate picked season one of the 2000s Channel 4 favorite Peep Show and Noel picked last year’s The Promised Neverland. Before that, though, there’s a full week in TV to discuss.

It’s San Diego Comic Con International week! Which we’re skipping, for the first time since 2012. The con may still be happening at home, but if there are no overcrowded convention hallways and persistent background noise, it’s just not SDCC. We’ll hopefully be back next year, but for now, we’re focusing on our standard coverage, and thankfully this week gave us plenty to dive in with. We kick off the episode with Our Week in TV, including a surprising Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, another disconcerting I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, the penultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, two more thrilling events in Jelle’s Marble Runs: Marble League 2020, and shocking and eventful episodes of Stargirl and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Then we head over to the season spotlight and have fun with the first season of HBO’s horror-tinged comedy Los Espookys.

The beginning of the COVID-19 TV drought has officially hit here at the podcast. There’s still plenty of TV to discuss, but once again, reality is picking up the slack. We kick things off with Our Week in TV, starting with our sole drama and comedy offerings, the premiere of Perry Mason and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.

We’re rounding out our second week sheltering in place here at the Televerse, and while the world is full of stressors right now, thankfully there’s been a lot of interesting TV to help us take our minds off of them. We kick things off this this episode with our week in comedy and reality, starting with an update on how Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Late Night with Seth Meyers are handling their at-home shoots. Then we look at the return of One Day at a Time, the antepenultimate Schitt’s Creek, J.K. Simmons’ guest spot on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Ball Ball. Next we head over to the genre and drama offerings, glancing by two emotional, draining Steven Universe Future episodes (because great as they are, we just don’t have the bandwith right now) and diving in with Batwoman, Supergirl, and the finale of Stumptown. Then Noel stans for Guy’s Grocery Games and we head over to the season spotlight section. Both Noel and Kate were excited by the promise shown in the Star Trek: Picard premiere. Did the rest of the season hold up, and should you seek out the show, now that CBS All Access has dropped its paywall, at least for Picard? Tune in, then reach out with your thoughts on Picard, One Day at a Time, Stumptown, and more.And don’t forget to stop by next week as Noel, Kate, and friend of the show Allison Shoemaker continue their journey through Lucifer with week two of Streaming In Place.Season Spotlight: Star Trek: Picard Season 1 (1:10:29)Our Week in Comedy and Reality Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Late Night with Seth Meyers (14:06) One Day at a Time premiere (22:11) Schitt’s Creek (25:49) Brooklyn Nine-Nine (30:58) RuPaul’s Drag Race (33:29)Our Week in Genre and Drama Steven Universe Future (41:39) Batwoman (45:11) Supergirl (51:38) Stumptown finale (57:11) Guy’s Grocery Games (1:05:05)Music Featured: “Stay United” by Raphael Lake & Aaron Levy; “Take The Money And Run” by The Steve Miller Band Videos Mentioned: A dispatch from The Doctor; Southside Bonnie has a few words for COVID-19 deniers; Look, it’s a dog doing yoga!

The world is dark and scary, let’s talk about delicious food. This week on the podcast, Noel and Kate dive in with season two of Netflix’s Ugly Delicious, David Chang’s travel and food series exploring under-discussed corners of the food world. Does the truncated season two live up to season one, and what do we hope to see in a potential season three? Before that, though, there’s plenty of TV to discuss. We kick things off with some thoughts on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s takes on social distancing, at-home content. Then we talk Top Chef: All-Stars L.A., which is back, and not a moment too soon. Next we talk “World’s Worst” over at RuPaul’s Drag Race and the delightful return of the Judys to Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

First up is the premiere of Steven Universe Future, then Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and catch-ups with His Dark Materials, Emergence, and Stumptown.

There’s often drama to spare in summer TV, and this week did not disappoint, with comedies, dramas, and reality delivering twists and turns to spare. Noel and Kate kick things off with the week in TV, starting with the comedies, including the series finale of Jane the Virgin, season finale of Archer: 1999, and mixed episodes of grown-ish and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. Then Kate talks drama and reality, checking in with Claws, Pose, and SYTYCD, before rounding out the week by breaking down the TV side of the CNN Democratic Presidential Primary Debates with Noel. Then we head over to the season spotlight for a belated look at Veronica Mars season four: the state of the series, our thoughts on the season, and—after a spoiler warning—the season’s big swings.

It’s the end of a TV era, the release of the final season of Marvel and Netflix’s multi-series collaboration. This week on the podcast, Noel and Kate spotlight Jessica Jones season three and reflect on the Marvel Netflix series in general. Which stick in our memories, which have we already forgotten, and which do we wish we’d gotten more of?

Kate is sick once again, so we’re keeping the podcast on the short side this episode. There’s still plenty of TV for us to cover, though. We kick things off with our week in TV, starting with the comedies, including Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner 2,” Bob’s Burgers, and The Last O.G.

We kick things off with a truncated week in TV, including the premiere of Miracle Workers, another fun Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a brief look at One Day at a Time season three, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, I Am the Night, and the penultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars.

It's been a few days since Jack has had anything to drink and he broke that streak in this episode. You've been warned. On the flipside, Aaron came into the episode already a bit tipsy off of some odd blue drink from FX's "Legion" Chamber Experience going on in Hollywood this weekend. Let's party! NEWS HIGHLIGHTS: Donald and Stephen Glover are no longer working on FX's "Deadpool" animated series. After the news hit, Glover released his entire script for the pilot online 18 million people tuned into "Roseanne" when it returned to TV on Tuesday. And in a speech in Ohio on Tuesday, which was supposed to be about infrastructure, Donald Trump ended up taking the credit for those ratings. Stormy Daniels' 60 Minutes interview brought the show's highest ratings in 10 years — that's 22 million viewers Steven Spielberg came out against Netflix movies being nominated for Oscars. If it's released in the TV format, it should be considered a TV movie and only be considered for Emmys. Do we agree? Netflix has renewed four unscripted shows: "Queer Eye," the docuseries "Dope," the baking competition series "Nailed It," and the docuseries "The Toys That Made Us" Get excited, Jack. John Mulaney will host "SNL" on April 14th.

Few series make it more than a handful of years; even fewer make it into double digits. This week, the WWE celebrated 25 years of Monday Night RAW, and that is a milestone worth reflecting upon. We may not be regular wrestling viewers here at The Televerse, but thankfully friend of the show Cory Barker of TVGuide.com is, and he came back on the podcast this week to talk WWE RAW and wrestling on TV with us for an extended spotlight.Before that, however, Noel and Kate talk through some of the week’s more memorable episodes. First we look at the week in comedy and reality, including the premieres of The Detour and Drunk History, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’s Apology Race, a double episode of The Amazing Race, and the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars. Then we move over to the genre offerings, including the premiere of Counterpart, Star Trek: Discovery, The Flash, Supergirl, and the latest Darin Morgan offering of The X-Files. How did trying to keep up with Trump work for the Full Frontal crew? Has Star Trek: Discovery gotten overly twist-reliant? And which host is surprisingly fluent in the complex backstories of ‘90s and early ‘00s WWE? This and more on the latest episode of The Televerse.Note: The webseries Kate was referencing in the opening discussion is The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo.

Ashley Nicole Black (@ashleyn1cole) gave up pursuing a PHD to make it in comedy. This year she won an Emmy for her work on "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee." She talked to Sam about Savage Garden, why the Chicago comedy scene is great for aspiring comics and tough for people of color, developing her own comedy style, landing a job on "Full Frontal" and making the transition from writer to correspondent, and why she says improv could help people bridge political divides.
