TBS to increase oversight of Samantha Bee’s show after use of slur about Ivanka Trump
The Hill ^ | 06/06/18 | Brett Samuels

TBS is expected to increase network oversight on Samantha Bee’s show after the comedian drew scrutiny last week for making a vulgar comment about Ivanka Trump.

A source told The Hollywood Reporter that network management will work with Bee and the crew on her show “Full Frontal” to prevent future incidents that could alienate advertisers or spark backlash.

The comedian sparked a firestorm last week when she called Trump a "feckless c---" during a segment on her show about the Trump administration enforcing a policy that separates migrant children from their families.

Bee reportedly had full creative license on the show prior to the fallout from last week's episode.

TBS declined to comment on the record to The Hollywood Reporter.

Samantha C-word is only the front.

The people behind the scene should be exposed:

So she can use your network airtime to call conservative women she hates c***s? You suits at TBS have little problem with that?

No wonder I never watch anything on TBS.

If you want to see brutal scathing political satire done well, watch reruns of the old Smothers Brothers series on CBS.

The morons of today's new low of shock value to entertain meet with their inevitable end sooner rather than later.

That’s one way to get more viewers; force your employees to watch.

Don’t make fun of a white Muslim person pretending to be a black person, though. That’s serious in this country. Serious. Selling weapons to people who kill Christians, not even close. Obama does it all the time, and the liberals love him for it.

Someone please post Bee’s sponsor again, please? i need to know who to strike off my list. Thanks.

Oh, and TBS? That vulgar, disgusting bit of ‘humor’ already went through at least 4 layers of people who could have stopped it. What does adding a few more layers matter?

It’s a garbage network, and they don’t even show the Braves.

So maybe next time the c-word appears in her script someone is going to notice?

Taco Bell is one. I already wrote to them to inform them I am no longer buying their food. I went frequently, perhaps 2-3 times per week. No more.

Bill Maher, the strangest looking person on TV, called Sarah Palin the “C” word on TV in 2011. He was not remorseful. No consequences.

I used to watch a couple of syndicated shows on TBS. But between having seen those episodes multiple times and the constant commercials for Ms. Bee’s show, it’s been easy to stay away.

Roseanne sends a marginal tweet about a former administration member and her life and livelihood is completely destroyed. Bee gets on National Television and calls the Presidents Daughter a C word and gets an award the next day. Nice that the left has a death grip on pop culture.

We cut the cord nearly two years ago so when all this blew up I admit to being a bit surprised. I thought tbs went under years ago when they ran that scumbag ted turner off...

For any advertisers on her show, those are the companies I won’t buy products from. They should stop buying time on her show or face declining sales.

IIRC, it was the “T” word of the same definition.
