Samantha Anne Bee (born October 25, 1969)[1][2] is a Canadian-American comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actress, and television host.

Bee rose to fame as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where she became the longest-serving regular correspondent.[3] In 2015, she departed the show after 12 years to start her own show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. The show was canceled in 2022 as a "business-based decision" by TBS.

In 2017, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world on their annual Time 100 list.
