The late-night show - which ran for seven seasons and more than 200 episodes - offered a rare female point-of-view as it lampooned the big issues of the week.

Full Frontal - the first late night satirical news show to be hosted by a woman - has been cancelled after seven seasons.

The show's creator and host, Samantha Bee, confirmed the news on Twitter on Monday, writing:"After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall. "We're so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week-that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang."In a statement, TBS said it has had to make some difficult but business-based decisions as part of its new programming strategy.

The channel was part of WarnerMedia, which merged with Discovery Inc. last April to become the new Warner Bros Discovery company.The general manager of TBS, TNT and TruTV Brett Weitz - who was known to be a strong supporter of Full Frontal - left the company in May following the consolidation. TBS praised the show's"ground-breaking work" and said it will explore ways to work with the cast and crew in the future.

BBC Conservative leadership debate: Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss fact checked - Full FactRishi Sunak and Liz Truss have taken part in their first head-to-head debate as they campaign to become the next Conservative leader, and next Prime Minister. In a debate that focused on tax and the economy, we’ve taken a closer look at what they said. What's this got to do with COVID19 Rishi has verbal diarrhoea. Liz stayed remarkably calm. I suddenly realised how disastrous he would be in international meetings such as G7 or NATO or COP - he only talks, he NEVER listens.
