We did not have a topic for this incredible woman? And her almost-as-incredible blazers? Sacre bleu!

Now, we do.

The blue velvet blazer she wore recently was really pretty.

This is pretty awesome.

45 Brilliant Things Samantha Bee Said This Year

Quote

When Full Frontal With Samantha Bee premiered less than a year ago, the comedian became the first female host of a late-night satirical news show (and one of the few women to host any kind of late-night show, ever). The appointment was overdue, yes, but her show couldn’t have arrived at a more important time. She started by hiring one of the most diverse writing teams in television.

Thanks, @saoirse! This quote from The Hollywood Reporter is particularly apposite for this thread:

Quote

“A blazer is just my life staple. I rock a blazer. I can’t help it. I was just wearing a blazer and running shoes at rehearsal and people were like, ‘You seem really comfortable. Do you want to wear that on the show?’ ‘Please.’”

I don't think this video of Sam 'swearing in' Season Two was posted. The blazers are part of her oath of office!

Speaking of Blazers, I want that red one she was wearing this week.
