There’s not going to be much of a staff left at the Daily Show on Comedy Central. After Jon Stewart announced that he was stepping down as host of TDS, more announcements have come from cast members leaving. The most recent is correspondent Samantha Bee leaving the Comedy Central series to host her own show on TBS.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new Samantha Bee series doesn’t have a name yet, but it will highlight her “satirical point of view” on current events. It will be part of the TBS’ late night lineup. Samantha Bee’s move to TBS follows her husband and fellow Daily Show Correspondent Jason Jones’ move to the network. Jones recently got a pilot deal from TBS to star in comedy series about family taking a road trip to Key West. Jason Jones and Samantha Bee wrote the script and will executive produce the series.
