Trivia / Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Go To

  • Missing Episode: All segments belonging to the episode where Sam called Ivanka Trump the C-word were deleted from the show's social media accounts.
  • Reality Subtext: To end a segment on how male abuse victims get left out of the #MeToo movement, the show brought on Terry Crews to make a PSA about how jokes about men getting raped aren't funny. Just one year prior, Crews had revealed that a male film executive had sexually groped him during a 2016 industry function. While it's not explicitly brought up during the end sketch (since it focuses more on Crews and Bee goofing around in ways that don't involve mocking rape victims), Crews' reputation as one of the few famous men to discuss experiences with sexual assault makes his disgust with Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male make even more sense.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The show uses "Boys Wanna Be Her" by Peaches as its theme. Peaches herself played the song live at the Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
  • Refitted for Sequel: If one treats her 2020 presidential election coverage as a sequel to her 2016 election coverage. The show filmed a promotional clip in 2016 that went unused (likely because it was filmed with the assumption that Hillary Rodham Clinton would win the presidency, not Donald Trump) where Samantha Bee runs around the city celebrating the end of the election. Bee uploaded it four years later to celebrate the results of the 2020 presidential election, where Trump lost to Joe Biden.
