Biographie

Married to actor and fellow Daily Show cast member Jason Jones since 2001, Bee lives in Manhattan, New York. In late 2005, Jones became a freelance Daily Show correspondent while Bee reduced her workload due to her pregnancy. In January 2006, she gave birth to Piper Bee-Jones. Bee returned to The Daily Show in March 2006.

On January 24, 2008, Bee announced a second pregnancy on air during a bit about the media's coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign. On June 20, 2008, their second child, Fletcher Bee-Jones, was born.

In an interview with Kate Fillion in Maclean's magazine (June 7, 2010), Samantha said: "I'm pregnant with my third child." She had previously told the Globe and Mail on May 14, 2010 that she and Jones were: "just procreating like we're farmers". This was then referenced on the June 3, 2010 episode of the Daily Show, where they made a point of humorously pointing out Bee's third pregnancy "in two years." During Olivia Munn's first report, she referred to Bee as the "always pregnant lady", and Bee and Jones joked about attempting to conceive a fourth child even before the third was born. Their third child, a daughter named Ripley, was born in late 2010, and Bee was scheduled to return to television in November.
