Politics and party sauce with Samantha Bee

Samantha Bee is in the house!

If you know her, you love her. I don’t know if there’s any other way to feel about the great Samantha Bee — the latest guest on my podcast Longer Tables.

Sam exploded on to the TV scene as a witty and fearless correspondent on the Daily Show in 2003. 

Of course that wasn’t nearly enough Sam for all of us! So in 2016 she launched the hilarious groundbreaking show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. I’m just going to say it…it’s a crime that this show isn’t still on the air.

Thank goodness she has her own podcast: Choice Words with Samantha Bee (I’ve been a guest!)

Samantha isn’t just funnier than other funny people. She’s a better journalist than more serious journalists, and a better social critic than more serious social critics. No issue is safe from her: immigration policy, school lunches, reproductive health, gender equality, the American healthcare system…the list goes on!

So what did we talk about? Well, politics for one. (You may have heard there’s a big election coming up…) But of course we also talk food….just wait till you hear about Samantha’s amazing “party sauce.”
