Samantha Bee has the best response to Vanity Fair's all-male late-night cover

Samantha Bee didn't let Vanity Fair get away with excluding her from a piece about late-night television.

The former Daily Show correspondent's new late-night talk show will premiere on TBS early next year, but that wasn't enough for her to be included in the piece "Why Late-Night Television is Better Than Ever," featuring Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and six other male hosts (including The Daily Show's Trevor Noah, who has yet to make his debut in the anchor chair).

In the article, David Kamp writes: "What's conspicuously missing from late-night, still, is women. How gobsmackingly insane is it that no TV network has had the common sense — and that's all we're talking about in 2015, not courage, bravery, or even decency — to hand over the reins of an existing late-night comedy program to a female person?" While Bee's new show did garner a brief mention, as did Chelsea Handler's upcoming Netflix series, the piece did not say why Bee and Handler — whose late-night show Chelsea Lately ran on E! from 2007 to 2014 — were not featured. A helpful Bee decided to give Vanity Fair an idea on how she, with the help of Photoshop, could have been included.
