The 48-year-old Samantha Bee was born in Ontario, Canada and she is the daughter of Debra and Ronald Bee. Bee said that she had never seen a happy marriage in her family lineage.

Bee joined McGill University where she studied humanities before transferring to the University of Ottawa. Bee also studied at George Brown Theatre School in Toronto.

Bee is known for speaking out her heart regardless of who she is talking about. Recently, she defended the woman who accused the comedian, Aziz Ansari of sexual misconduct. The woman reported that Aziz Ansari had taken advantage of her and he either ignored or failed to notice her non-verbal discomfort. Ansari denied the claims and said that he was surprised and concerned. Some celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg criticized Aziz’s accuser, but Bee stood with the woman. She said that Ansari was not better than a rapist or a harasser and stated that his 2015 book, “Modern Romance” was an irony. Bee’s last message was aimed at men in general who claimed to be feminists asking them to behave like they ought to be.

Bee spoke to New York Magazine a while back and revealed that her writing staff is as diverse as well as talented. According to her, half of the writers are women, while slightly over a quarter of them are people of color. Most of the people in that industry are white guys, and therefore what she did needs to be appreciated. However, Bee was not patting herself on the back or something but was actually hoping that more about the situation could be done. Bee stated that many people were talking about how they should make the balance instead of actually doing it. Samantha Bee also asked the audience if they knew a 45-year-old-lady who could fill a position as a writer or a black writer who wrote tremendously but never got a chance.

The commentator asked the viewers to stop acting like they were shocked after hearing Trump calling Haiti and some African states “shithole countries.” Bee explained to them that they were supposed to worry about what he meant and it was evident that Mr. Trump despised black and brown people. They just had to agree with the fact that Trump is a racist and move on, according to Bee.
