Former Warner Bros. Discovery employee Samantha Bee (when it was Time Warner) dropped out of taping tonight's episode of "Have I Got News for You" on CNN when told that the other guest panelist was Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), saying that in all good conscience she could not appear on a light-hearted program trading badinage with someone whose views are vastly different than hers:
https://latenighter.com/news/samantha-bee-cancels-have-i-got-news-for-you-gop-rep-tim-urchett/ Bee revealed this on the Daily Beast's podcast, which she hosts with her boss Joanna Coles (embedded in link). When Coles, a former Brit, pointed out that some of the most memorable moments on the UK version of "HIGNFY" have been guest panelists attacking each other across the table, aided and abetted by Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, Bee replied that the show was not the proper forum to debate Burchett. No indication who her replacement is, except to find out at 9 p.m. ET. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
