Man With Cancer Shocked To See Comedy Show Making Fun Of His Hair. But They’re Paying For It Now

... publication where Coddington works. Coddington’s sister also tweeted about the clueless joke, which quickly went viral. Opinions on the “ high and tight ” haircut remain split, even a few years after its hipster heyday. Commonly derided as the “Hitler youth” cut, the undercut buzz with a longer hair on top looks great on movie stars like Tom Hardy, but has some obvious baggage after being embraced by actual modern Nazi sympathizers like Richard Spencer. Once they were made aware of the embarrassing mistake, the Samantha Bee show quickly apologized through its Twitter account, removed the Coddington joke from the segment , and made a $1,000 donation to Coddington’s Go Fund Me page for his cancer treatment. However, Coddington said that while he was “moved” by the donation, he didn’t find the apology very sincere. After all, it references him being “offended” rather than simply owning the mistake outright. “The ...

A segment on an episode of "Full Frontal" this week observed that one style of haircut,  known as the "Hitler Youth," was especially prevalent at CPAC this year. The segment featured shots of young men with the haircut, which is short on the sides and long and slicked back on top. @meg_kelly 16 We deeply apologize for offending you and @_that_kyle.

This year, the bow ties were gone and replaced by Nazi hair.". @iamsambee 😭 Please delete this ...

Samantha Bee Goes Deep On Trump’s Obama Wiretap Tweet

... white supremacist employment program managed to talk about his dystopian agenda using an indoor voice, without mentioning his electoral college win or deporting anyone from Congress,” Bee said at the top of TBS’s Wednesday night “Full Frontal.”. “For this astonishing feat, the pundits rained golden compliments down on him in the warmest shower he’s ever had outside of Moscow.” The segment then cut to clips of TV news talking heads foaming over at Trump’s performance. “Look, I know it’s extraordinary that he learned to read something, finally. I didn’t think he could do it either! But you don’t have to gush like he’s a toddler who just made a boom boom on the big-boy potty,” she scolded. According to Bee, only one person in all of TV-news punditry wasn’t buying it that night. Cut to a clip of a black woman in the audience at a CBS News post-speech town hall, complaining: “That’s not the Donald Trump that I’ve seen for the past 30 days. Where is that guy that says what he wants to ...

Speaking With 'samantha Bee' Executive Producer Miles Kahn

... across the political spectrum. Sam immediately started thinking about what we can do after the election that might be more satisfying than just making Trump jokes every week. I mean, we’re still going to do our fair share of Trump jokes, don’t get me wrong. But we realized that we could maybe do more. Turns out there are pundits and politicians of all stripes who think our President shouldn’t aspire to be an autocrat. Beck was a great example. My favorite part of that interview was when he accused us of becoming just like him, of becoming “catastrophists.” That really stuck with me. It was insightful. Of course, I’ll read his Twitter page now and tear my fucking hair out. He’s a confusing guy. Trump has been widely ridiculed and shamed by a whole host of comedy shows since first announcing his intention to run for the presidency. In the ensuing 18 months he has gone from an ...

I Could Feel This Seismic Shift

... and we had to call it [off]," Bee tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "We were able to do a reset, but it was not an easy process by any means.". For Bee and Jo Miller, the show's co-creator, Trump's win meant doubling down on their coverage of the White House, much to their chagrin. "There were so many other things we wanted to cover," Bee says. "It was kind of this endless pool of stories we wanted to tell.". Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is a satire news show with a feminist point of view. It's now in its second season on TBS. Among the postelection challenges that Bee and Miller face is finding a way to criticize Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway while also being sensitive to the misogyny many public women have to deal with.

Donald Trump Shot ‘himself In The D—‘ With Wiretapping Claims

... Trump over his allegation  that Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election. Now it’s Samantha Bee ‘s turn. The Full Frontal host joked the president’s tweet storm was the equivalent of shooting “himself in the d—.”. “Oh that’s new: white guy shoots himself in the d—, tries to pin it on a black guy. When has that ever happened?” she said sarcastically, citing three news headlines of similar instances. “To be fair, there’s a good chance Trump fell asleep watching news, rolled over on the remote, and woke up during The Wire. Mr. President, that’s not Barack Obama. I mean, I get why you’d think Obama would ‘tapp’ your phone, just look at how angry he is and obsessed with you,” she continued, pointing to Obama’s vacation photos and emphasizing Trump’s misspelling of the word “tap” on Twitter. “He can barely stay up on that surfboard from all the rage and hatred for your administration.”.

Samantha Bee's Apology Doesn't Impress Cancer Patient

... showed several men, who producer Mike Rubens said had "Nazi hair," at last month's Conservative Political Action Conference. One of the men in the piece was Kyle Coddington. He's a contributor for the Outset Network, which reported that he recently completed his first round of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. According to a Go Fund Me page that was set up in December, Coddington has been diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. "Please delete this episode. I look like a balding potato," he said in a tweet to Bee. In a followup post he said "Also, it's not a Nazi haircut. Richard Spencer's is, but mine's from cancer.". The show issued an apology on its official Twitter account. "We deeply apologize for offending @_that_kyle in our CPAC segment. We only learned of his condition today & have removed him from the piece.". Bee also apologized to Coddington and his sister, whose tweet about the story was liked and shared thousands of times. Coddington's sister tweeted, saying ...

Samantha Bee's Televised Revolution Against Trump

... by a torrent of Trump. Just in case this all sounds like 100 years ago to you — it was barely three weeks ago. But such is the passage of time in the Trump presidency. We have all seemingly aged years in a few short weeks. I was eager to get Samantha Bee's take on it all. After all, Bee is the only woman with her own late-night comedy show, and she's arguably more adept than all the guys at skewering Trump without getting petty or personal. And let's face it: The fact that Bee is a woman makes her act all the more effective. When comedian Melissa Mc Carthy stood in for White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live, Trump's biggest problem with the mockery reportedly wasn't the jokes, but the fact that a woman was making them. Trump is Public Enemy No. 1 on Bee's show, and her largely progressive and young audience gobbles it up. Before our taping started, warm-up act Allana Harkin led a cheering contest in which the loudest section wins. Harkin divided the crowd into four groups, with each given a progressive cause to cheer for: women's rights, gay rights, Black History Month, and immigrants. These ...
