“My phone rang, and it was Ari  (Emanuel) and he said, ‘Larry David would like to play Bernie Sanders,’” Michaels recalled at the afterparty for last week’s David-hosted SNL. “The audience cast him.

With Full Frontal, Samantha Bee proved to be Jon Stewart’s natural heir

The first episode was “such a welcome jolt of energy” that you might wish Full Frontal was airing every day, says David Sims. “Full Frontal’s format is less cozy than many a talk show—Bee stands for the entire ride—and it makes her Daily Show-style segments feel all the more blistering,” he adds. PLUS: Bee’s “late-night” show actually airs in primetime, Bee left viewers wanting more, the best part of Full Frontal is that it’s truly her own show, Full Frontal feels fresh even though it’s using clip packages the way other shows use them, it was one of the most confident premieres, Bee uses her gender to great comedic effect, and Bee made the case that she could provide the distinct comedy voice for the 2016 election.
