Last night, I was heartbroken to learn that The Samantha Show had been canceled, but then I saw the news a moment later that it would be revived by Hulu! Hooray! I’ve been a fan of The Samantha Show since it first aired because she had me in stitches on The Office, and her witty book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), further captured my heart. Samantha’s brilliance, humor, and self-deprecating attitude have been a source of joy during some tough times in my life. Cheers to you, Samantha, and thank you, Hulu, for keeping this incredible talent on our screens. While nothing is confirmed yet, talks of two more seasons are already underfoot. Who needs cable, anyway? Here are five reasons why Samantha Lee is a must-have on television:
- She’s a Genius (and that’s why she’s successful).
Not many can create, write, produce, direct, and star in their own shows, and the few who can are often just white males. Samantha began her TV journey as a writer on The Office and soon after landed her own show. She’s sought after because she excels in every role she takes on. - Her Humor is Unmatched.
The simplest way to showcase her comedic talent is to let her speak for herself. Here are some gems from her book:
“If you love something, put it in a small cage and shower it with love until it either loves you back or withers away.”
“Wouldn’t it be amazing to be so famous that if I committed a crime, I’d never serve time, even if it was obvious I did it?”
“What’s with the panic? I have a cold, not the plague!”
“I’m attracted to your body, but your talking makes my brain want to scream.” (A line directed at a character she briefly dated on The Samantha Show). - She Embraces Womanhood.
Unlike many, Samantha revels in fashion and beauty. She loves designer outfits, accessories, and all the glam that comes with her on-screen life. Her enthusiasm makes the whole process seem like a blast! - She Celebrates Uniqueness.
Samantha doesn’t shy away from being different; she flaunts it!
“Confidence comes from being part of a small, quirky demographic.”
“Write your own narrative. It’s tough, but it empowers you to find and showcase your strengths.”
“I might be chubby for life because my only hobbies are bingeing and being happy with my appearance, as long as I don’t break a beach chair.” - She’s Relatable.
At the end of the day, she’s just like us.
“Some of my playlists have only two songs on repeat, like I’m prepping for a presidential assassination.”
“In high school, I loved hanging out with my family and nailing those long, unrequited crushes.”
“As adults, we realize how fleeting family time is; we only have 18 years to cherish it fully.”
While discussions about the show’s cancellation circulated online, Samantha posted this delightful update on Instagram, reminding us all of her resilience and humor.
In conclusion, Samantha Lee’s presence on TV is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity.
