Samantha Bee's late-night show won't be returning to TBS.
The network confirmed Monday that Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been canceled after seven seasons. "As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we've made some difficult, business-based decisions," a network spokesperson told Deadline. The move comes after TBS came under new management following the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery this year.

This will mark the end of another late-night show for TBS after Conan O'Brien signed off in 2021, as well as the latest shake-up to the late-night landscape in general after James Corden announced he's leaving CBS' The Late Late Show next year.
"We're so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week — that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang," a message shared on Full Frontal's Twitter account said.
The show added, in a jab at former President Donald Trump's message to Jan. 6 rioters, "To our loyal fans — we love you, you're very special. Go home, and go home in peace."
