Samantha Bee 'Full Frontal' Apologizes To Cancer Patient For Nazi Joke
The host joked that a man at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference looked like a Nazi because of his hair style, only to discover Kyle Coddington actually had cancer. "This year, the bow ties were gone, replaced by Nazi hair, Nazi hair, Nazi hair," the segment said showing the 20-year-old student. "We deeply apologize," the show said in a statement. "We only learned of his condition today and have removed him from the piece." This after Coddington reportedly told the show's producers himself that his "Nazi haircut" was because he had brain cancer. Coddington had asked Bee to "please delete the episode," because "I look like a balding potato." 'Full Frontal With Samantha Bee' will also make a donation to a cancer organization on his behalf. But Coddington wasn't impressed. "I want to make it clear that half-apologizing for offending someone is not apologizing for making baseless accusations against people because of the way they look," he said. "This kind of behavior should be rejected by both sides of the aisle."
'Full Frontal With Samantha Bee' is apologizing for a recent segment in which a cancer patient was described as having "Nazi hair."
