Who is Samantha Bee? As if you don’t know…. She’s only one of the most talented female intellectuals in comedy. Not only is Bee a comedian; she’s a writer, producer, political commentator, actress, media critic and television host…. Not to mention, that she’s also a mom…We’re not sure when she has time for sleep, but she’s somehow doing it all and doing it with metaphorical balls.

Okay, you may be able to tell that we may have a small girl crush on Ms. Bee, but really? Can you blame us? She’s the total package. And that brings us to our Top 5 reasons we love Samantha Bee:

Seriously… who else can pull this off?

Her Show Full Frontal is the Cure for Our Male Dominated Late-Night-TV Blues

Currently, Samantha Bee is the only woman with a late-night talk show. And it’s good… like really really good. The recently renewed Full Frontal is only thirty minutes and airs once a week condensing the most important stories into one episode. If you are short on time (as most of us are) this show is perfect for you.

She’s Serious About Women

Ms. Bee addresses everything Women’s-Issue related in a way that only someone with her wit and relatability could. She discusses reproductive rights, sexual harassment in the workplace and the ridiculous legislative dress codes for women…to name a few.

Bee is married to Daily Show vet Jason Jones who is also hilarious, talented, and pretty darn smart too. They have three kids and a show on TBS called The Detour.

That One Time she got a Penis Pump Stuck to her Face

Of course she did.

To be fair, what did NARAL president Ilyse Hogue expect when he mentioned “Penis Pump” to a woman like Samantha Bee?

So, as you can see, Samantha Bee has defined her own approach. She does not sit behind a desk, instead, she walks the stage in heels all while delivering crisp monologues and top notch entertainment for us. And that is why…

WE LOVE YOU, SAMANTHA BEE!
