John Waters is hosting an adult summer camp.

Yes. The John Waters. The king of sleaze, sultan of fun—we could go on… And we have to admit: We’re all a little bummed we can’t go. Although the opportunity to attend Waters’ adult summer camp is out of most of our reach, we’ve dreamt up three other fantasy summer camps to keep our minds off the fun and debauchery we’re missing.

1. Beyoncé’s Baby+Mom Glamp Adult Summer Camp

Beyoncé is having twins. Soon. Once she has her highly anticipated kids, she’s going to need a lot of rest and relaxation. However, Beyoncé is the type of woman who knows that everyone—especially working moms of color—could use some rest and relaxation, too.

So, just think if Beyoncé held a summer camp and invited hundreds of women who have babies and young kids to come and rest, relax, and mother together. In addition to baby bonding classes and healthy meals, the camp would have state-of-the-art childcare so moms could take some very much needed downtime (and dance lessons, please?). Throw in some seminars about finding great jobs and negotiating higher wages, and this Glamp Camp would be a hit.

2. Samantha Bee’s Journo 101 Adult Summer Camp

Samantha Bee has said a lot and done even more this past year for the progressive feminist agenda. Bee also celebrates journalists who report real news. So, it makes sense that Bee would host a summer camp filled with goodies—snacks, beer, box wine, and antacids—that journalists thrive on. While catching a bite, aspiring writers and editors could also speak to the best journalists in the business. Each camper would leave camp well armed and ready to stop the spread of real fake news. Plus, Bee is Canadian. She sure knows a thing or two about the wilderness.

3. Bernie Sanders Revolution Adult Summer Camp

Bernie Sanders is the man who can rally progressives. And old and young progressive people must organize by 2018. Camp Bernie would rally campers and register them to vote. Camp Bernie’s organizers also would match campers to the causes they care most about.

This camp would also host politicians and political representatives from every American state. This way, campers could learn about the issues affecting their district. These local politicians also could help campers learn how to run for a county seat. And you know that Vermonter has a few s’mores tricks up his sleeve as well. Bring on the fire, Bernie.

ColumnLate-night television shows have always resembled a boys’ club. But in recent years, the late-night landscape has started to change… albeit subtly. 

Mother Jones recently wrote a revealing piece that accounted for all the women who are credited as writers on all the major late-night shows. No show’s writing team is primarily female. And the only show that gets remotely close to that 50 percent mark is, not surprisingly, “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.”

The incident that sparked Mother Jones’ late night writer investigation was a recent “The Daily Show” tweet. Last week, after SCOTUS made its memorable abortion decision, the program’s Twitter account posted a tweet that said the following:

“Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!”

Yes, because as everyone knows, the SCOTUS ruling was all about men and their ability to have sex sans condoms. It had nothing to do with a woman’s right to choose or access to abortion centers.

Not surprisingly, “The Daily Show” quickly issued an apology. Problem was, though, it really wasn’t an apology… it was more of a “whatever, haters” kind of tweet:

“Friends, we’re certainly not promoting abortions. Just excited about #SCOTUS reaffirming right to choose.”

Many of the tweet complaints came from Twitter users who said this type of thing could be avoided in more women resided in “The Daily Show’s” writers’ room. Those users aren’t wrong. Hiring women and diverse writers only make comedy better. Because honestly, I think we have plenty options when it comes to white male humor.

So, are there any late-night hosts who want to do something about this problem? Of course!

Seth Meyers’ “A Closer Look” often examine issues that impact minorities and women. He also has a running bit he does with two of his female writers—Jenny Hagel and Amber Ruffin—that concerns “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell” that basically torpedoes any male comedian who says they don’t have to be PC because it’s comedy.

As stated previously, Samantha Bee leads the pack when it comes to hiring diverse writers. According to Mother Jones’ reporting, Bee’s writing team includes five men and four women. Her team also is 30 percent nonwhite. Bee also strives to hire writers who are underestimated.

To help hire diverse writers, she created a blind application process. She also made the application process easy to attract people who weren’t seasoned, Hollywood writers.

““I have literally filled my office with people who have been underestimated their entire careers,” Samantha Bee says. “To a person, we almost all fit into that category. It is so joyful to collect a group of people who nobody has ever thought could grasp the reins of something and fucking go for it.”

And as far as I’m concerned, Bee’s hiring process kicks ass. Her show is one of the best things on television. And, apparently, a lot of people agree. “Full Frontal” gets 3.2 million viewers per episode, Jezebel reports.

So, keep at it, Bee. And come on, men of late night. Step up your efforts and hire more women and diverse writers. The results will probably make you laugh–in a good way.

Samantha Bee thinks the United States will be okay… if we vote.

Most of Bee’s Monday night show was about Brexit. One of her segments was about how, although America should pay attention to the vote overseas, we aren’t the United Kingdom. So, let’s prove that nationalism isn’t the American way and get out and vote.

I go to bed early, so I’m not able to watch Samantha Bee’s show when it originally airs. But thanks to my glorious DVR, I am able to watch Bee while I workout in the morning.

The clip below contains an amazing rant that obliterates people who think women cry rape on the regular. Needless to say, I was pumping my weights reallll hard while watching this.
