Looks like Comedy Central is down one more potential "Daily Show" anchor. Samantha Bee, a correspondent for the cabler’s late-night news satire show, will host her own series on TBS, the network announced Thursday.

Bee’s new venture, which is still in the early stages, “is being planned as a platform for Bee to apply her smart and satirical point of view to current and relevant issues,” a release from TBS stated.

Bee and husband/Daily Show colleague Jason Jones, whose scripted comedy got the go-ahead at TBS last month, will executive-produce Bee’s venture with TBS.

Jones will star in the scripted comedy, the cast of which also includes Natalie Zea (Justified); the couple also will executive-produce that series.

Samantha Bee's exit is further proof that The Daily Show will look totally different after Jon Stewart leaves.

"Bee has always had a special knack for navigating even the silliest of "Daily Show candid interviews without risk of blowing her own cover," says Michael Arbeiter. "Compared to almost everyone else in the show's history, Bee has been the best instituting a feigned camaraderie with her subjects, provoking in them a heightened willingness to spout ideological tirades that will stir amused reactions in any viewer at home."

Samantha Bee is Canadian. That's why she is so funny and sexy.

“We want to find comedy in the absurd injustice,” Bee says of her late-night show that will feature many field pieces, including one piece on the rise of Islamophobia and another filmed in Jordan. PLUS: Bee is “not going to be a lady behind a desk.”

I'll probably watch. I liked her on the Daily Show.

“I think you’re a fool if you don’t watch,” the former Daily Show correspondent of her new primetime/late-night show. She says of her gender, however, "We did try to face it head on. You can’t avoid it. I think it’s a valid point to make. I don’t at all shy away from the question of being a woman in this space. It’s kind of out there. I did think we needed to address it in our tagline and we really did.” PLUS: Bee jokes, “there’s so much pressure as a Canadian to forge new ground, and Bee couldn’t imagine hosting The Daily Show 4 days a week.

The first episode was “such a welcome jolt of energy” that you might wish Full Frontal was airing every day, says David Sims. “Full Frontal’s format is less cozy than many a talk show—Bee stands for the entire ride—and it makes her Daily Show-style segments feel all the more blistering,” he adds. PLUS: Bee’s “late-night” show actually airs in primetime, Bee left viewers wanting more, the best part of Full Frontal is that it’s truly her own show, Full Frontal feels fresh even though it’s using clip packages the way other shows use them, it was one of the most confident premieres, Bee uses her gender to great comedic effect, and Bee made the case that she could provide the distinct comedy voice for the 2016 election.

When is her show going to air?

Sure, Bee has a week to work on her show, says Sara Stewart, "but her energy and feminist perspective make Full Frontal feel like something newer and better than the diminished Daily Show."
