Bee left ''The Daily Show'' in 2015 to start up her own spinoff show, ''Full Frontal with Samantha Bee'', which debuted on February 8, 2016, on TBS. On that show, she goes even further than she did on ''The Daily Show'', resorting to [[bigotry]], [[liberal projection|projection]] and liberal use of foul language, name-calling and even outright [[Liberal lies|lies]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233809/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/265622735 Regurgitates liberal lies over and over] at IMDb</ref> and the use of [[fake news]]<ref name="Bee Fake News">[https://realkylemorris.com/2017/03/09/samantha-bee-fake-news-at-its-finest/ Samantha Bee: Fake News at Its Finest]</ref> in her deliberate mischaracterizations and attacks of religion, conservative politicians, public figures and the general public who refuse to embrace liberal agendas (such as "[[global warming]]", the [[homosexual agenda]], [[abortion]], [[feminism]], [[gun control]], support for Islam and supporting both the [[Barack Obama|Obama]] regime and the [[Hillary Clinton]] presidential campaign), which she tries to pass off as "comedy" or "satire" but invariably falls flat as pathetic and unfunny. During her reports, she also often behaves like a dimwitted, middle-aged teenybopper, which is very little of a stretch for her as she basically cheerleads for and fawns over Obama, Hillary and other liberal politicians and public figures in those same segments.

Not surprisingly, [[mainstream media|liberal media outlets]] have gushed over Bee and heaped unwarranted and undeserved praise over her show, but members of the public have been far more scathingly critical of the show, her hosting, her "comedic" style and even her intelligence (or lack thereof).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233819/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/75345717 It's time to 'Bee' movin' on....] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/nest/251645595?p=1 Her new show will bomb spectacularly] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233948/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/258344171 For a Canadian who has issues with guns...] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233852/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/254910415 NOT FUNNY] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233913/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/260728779 One Trick Pony] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170218233944/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/thread/260258600 She's terrible] at IMDb</ref><ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1200650/board/nest/258384377?p=1 Who is this middle aged big mouth?] at IMDb</ref><ref>[http://louderwithcrowder.com/smackdown-samantha-bee-makes-idiotic-gun-control-remarks-crowder-rebuts/ Smackdown: Samantha Bee Makes Idiotic Gun Control Remarks.
