Samantha Bee was a no-show on the red carpet at the 11th Annual Television Academy Honors last night, as she weathered a Thursday that entailed apologizing for her Wednesday night slur on TBS’ Full Frontal against Ivanka Trump.
Later, Bee was indeed inside the NeueHouse Hollywood to collect Full Frontal‘s honor as a program making social advancements, and she addressed the day’s melee at the podium. Prior to the ceremony, on the red carpet, Bee, as well as the downfall of Roseanne Barr in the last week, weighed on the minds of many entering the building last night.
Dana Delany, who hosted the event, said of Bee’s whirlwind: “I feel that we are in a sad place in our country right now.” While Delaney said she believes in freedom of speech, she decried a change in the tone of public discourse “that started with the election of our current President.
