26:39

WTF? Amy Hoggart spent much of the last two US Presidencies starring on 'Full Frontal with Samatha Bee' - but as you'll hear she's not thrilled at the result of the US Election this week... despite it's obvious potential for satire. We won't lie... this isn't the most 'positive' episode we've ever recorded. Never mind - the campaign to Make Earth G…
