Samatha Bee slams Jimmy Fallon, NBC for Trump interview

In her first show since the Emmys, Samantha Bee is proving that the Television Academy's failure to nominate her for best variety program was an unforgivable snub.

Bee tackled one of late night's most heated topics: Jimmy Fallon's interview with Donald Trump, which many critics and Hillary Clinton criticized for going too easy on the Republican candidate.

“Why do so many Americans think playing footsie with fringe hate groups isn’t a disqualifier from polite society, much less the presidency?” Bee asked. “Maybe because that’s the message they get from entertainment giants like NBC."

Bee pointed out that NBC "severed ties" with Trump after his comments about Mexican immigrants, before taking the network to task, saying, "If by ‘severing ties’ you mean ‘inviting him on their flagship comedy programs to show millions of Americans what a fun guy he is.’”

She then slammed Trump's Saturday Night Live hosting stint. Why was he invited on the show? “I guess because ratings matter more than brown people,” she said.

“Sure, he’s making life palpably dangerous for Muslims and immigrants, but hey, he’s good entertainment!" she continued. "Here’s a thought: When Holocaust survivors are telling you, 'This guy gives me déjà vu,' maybe don’t invite him up into your house to play with your adorable children.”
