Samantha Bee just isn’t funny. Comedy for the most part these days is about getting applause over social issues, not about getting laughs over funny stuff.
You nailed it. However, check out the Greg Gutfeld show on Fox after Ingraham. Most of his shows are LOL funny while they talk about politics and anything else and all rag on each other and themselves. It's one of our favorite shows, and now on every night.
We were cracking up when he was only Saturday nights. Think Dean Martin roast with politics and banter. Tyrus is our favorite. The man is smart, clever, focused, and funny. Oh right, he's also black.
