Samantha Bee is poised to become the only woman in late night television, a fact she and TBS make clear in the first promotional spot for her upcoming show.
Bee officially left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on April 30. She will be hosting a new late night show on TBS, which is also the home of Conan O’Brien.
TBS is also the home for The Detour, a new scripted sitcom starring her husband, former Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones. That show is set to air later this year and counts Bee as a co-writer and co-producer.
In the new 40-second spot, Bee makes fun of the fact that late night television is a complete sausage fest. Of course, as she points out, she is “female as f**k.”
TBS has yet to announce a name for the show or when it will premiere. But we’ll be watching when it does.
