It seems her correspondence role on "The Daily Show" was just a warm-up act for the next stage of Samantha Bee's career. After spending 12 years on the Comedy Central juggernaut, Bee was not approached to replace departing host Jon Stewart, opening the door to her own series on TBS. The weekly late-night newsmagazine serves as a platform for Bee to apply her sharp, satirical point of view to current and relevant issues. She won't do so while sitting at a fake news desk; instead, field reports dominate, allowing Bee to show off her uncanny ability to mine comedy gold from just about any awkward situation.

Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly Mar 28, 2019
Strong words, but some elements of The Great American* Puerto Rico feel too much like one of those BuzzFeed GIF explainers that simplifies a complex topic past the point of helpfulness. Go to Full Review
Steve Greene IndieWire Mar 28, 2019
When [it] is at its peak, harnessing the collective anxiety and anger of the times we live in... That this special doesn't approach those heights is a window into how a still-shifting late night landscape is asking more of the shows in its upper tier. Go to Full Review

"Christmas on I.C.E." also underscores another important lesson for the media - every story also needs to account for or acknowledge those who aren't in the center of the conversation, too. Go to Full Review
Tori Preston Pajiba Dec 21, 2018
Christmas on I.C.E., just might be the pitch-perfect programming for 2018. Sure, she delivers songs and ice skating and celebrity cameos, but she doesn't shy away from just how rotten this year has been, or what Jesus would think of it. Go to Full Review
Andrew Husband Uproxx Dec 20, 2018
"Christmas on I.C.E."... easily reinforced just how funny and poignant the former Daily Show correspondent's comedy news series is. Go to Full Review

The Young W @RT26196849 Apr 8, 2022 Iconic progressive queen still owning and destroying right-wing propaganda machine and promoting rational humanist based ideals amazing season. 10/10 See more Feb 17, 2020 Horrible show! It is only still on TV because of an agenda driven station and not ratings. See more vin w @RT52876138 Feb 15, 2020 She stinks .worse than ever.She is never funny.Never. See more Feb 14, 2020 When you look at the audience reviews, I encourage you to be wary of phrases like "liberal garbage" or SJW. In general, I enjoy Samantha's humor, but feel at times that she isn't as creatively driven when speaking about politicians. Though, on another note, her writers do a wonderful job and research and I think her bit on Sex Ed for Senators was great in pointing out how most lawmakers don't understand female reproduction.
