Samantha Bee's late-night show will not return for Season 8
July 25, 2022
It is being reported that TBS has cancelled Full Frontal with Samantha Bee after seven seasons. The move comes as part of the cable network's recent shift to cut back on original content.
The Emmy Award-winning show had been touted as one of television's top ad-supported late-night series among young adults, with episodes regularly garnering over 3 million viewers across linear, VOD, and digital platforms. It aired over 200 episodes during its 7-season run, with its final episode airing June 23.
Longtime 'Daily Show' correspondent Samantha Bee hosted Full Frontal, using her unique comedic voice to give a nuanced view of the country's current political and cultural issues. Additionally, international stories are covered with segments from countries such as Russia, Germany, and Iraq.

Then, for some unknown reason (might have been the MeToo movement) she broke out her soapbox and the show became far more about her personal diatribes than any actual news stories. It was far more pro-women, anti-men (especially Trump), after the shift.
She lost me when entire episodes were essentially her screaming "vagina'" at the audience repeatedly.
