We\u2019re so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week\u2014that there wasn&#8217;t wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (@FullFrontalSamB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FullFrontalSamB\/status\/1551607482388303874?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the host\u2019s Nielsen ratings were down 34 percent from the prior year among the coveted age demographic of adults 18-49. When it came to overall viewership, the show was down 29 percent compared to the year earlier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/samantha-bee-hollywood-perpetuates-anti-asian-racism\">Bee\u2019s<\/a> dramatic ratings decline over the last few years seemed to come after the host was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/samantha-bee-apologizes-ivanka-trump-so-does-tbs-ben-shapiro\">forced to apologize<\/a> for her attack in May 2018 about Trump\u2019s daughter Ivanka Trump. During her show she called the former first daughter a \u201cfeckless c**t\u201d and more. The comments drew a huge backlash against Bee\u2019s show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad\u2019s immigration practices you feckless c***,\u201d\u00a0 Bee shared before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/samantha-bee-sponsors-full-frontal-tv-ratings\/\">episode was removed<\/a> from the internet. \u201cHe listens to you. Put on something tight and low cut and tell your father to f***ing stop it. Tell him it was an [Barack] Obama thing and see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the comments, Bee started losing sponsors right and left, including one of her biggest supporters, Autotrader. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/samantha-bee-sponsors-full-frontal-tv-ratings\/\">Wrap<\/a> noted, at the time, the host couldn\u2019t afford to lose anymore. It happened after her show had lost sponsor State Farm who announced it was taking a break from the show following her Ivanka comment, <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2018\/tv\/news\/samantha-bee-full-frontal-apology-advertising-1202835551\/\">Variety<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>Independent journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/glenn-greenwald\">Glenn Greenwald<\/a> recently <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1551686204738895875?s=20&#038;t=IXpofUjcnnSW2UoB2Bx3iQ\">tweeted<\/a>, Bee\u2019s anti-Trump show was \u201ca feminist legacy as trivial and inconsequential as it was failed and pointless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program was typically dead last in the ratings for late-night shows, barely attracting an audience size of a mid-level YouTuber,\u201d Greenwald <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1551684510529556480?s=20&#038;t=IXpofUjcnnSW2UoB2Bx3iQ\">responded<\/a> to the show ending. \u201cEven the barely-visible Don Lemon has more people watching.

It shows audiences just aren\u2019t tuning in by the millions because late-night TV is no longer a place to escape from the echo chamber of the left-wing propaganda that\u2019s everywhere from news outlets to TV shows\/movies and more.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1551684929653800961?s=20&#038;t=IXpofUjcnnSW2UoB2Bx3iQ\">graphic<\/a> showed Bee was in 13th place the week of June 13-19, 2022.

But by her third season of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/samantha-bee-host-president-obama-hank-berrien\">attacks on Republicans<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/racist-monsters-samantha-bee-compares-president-paul-bois\">then-President Trump<\/a>, viewers, especially the liberal ones, had stopped tuning into the show for dissenting commentary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/8-reasons-why-full-frontal-230027410.html\">Yahoo<\/a> noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFull Frontal\u201d ratings peaked in the fourth season from 2018 to 2019, when the host was bringing in 4 million viewers per episode, the outlet noted. That was comparable to the numbers the show had from Season 1 and 2 with more than 3.3 million viewers, But by 2020, the show had sunk back to 3.5 million, before falling to a series low of 2.9 million in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Retired veteran late-night comedy writer, Ned Rice, said that Bee\u2019s show \u201cnever really caught on,\u201d per Yahoo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never saw it in the press,\u201d Rice shared. \u201cI never saw Samantha quoted really anywhere, except for [the \u2018feckless c***t\u2019 incident]. I don\u2019t think that show made much of an impact. And they certainly gave her a good several years to work to find an audience, but she never did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-samantha-bee-tells-2020-underdogs-stop-paul-bois\">Bee\u2019s<\/a> show\u2019s cancellation comes as part of the great WarnerMedia Discovery merger reshuffle, which includes TBS, TNT and TruTV, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/tbs-cancels-full-frontal-with-samantha-bee-1235185694\/\">Hollywood Reporter<\/a> noted.
