“Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee aired her grievances with CBS CEO Leslie Moonves’ continued employment with the network on Wednesday night’s episode of the show. “CBS president Les Moonves is in deep trouble for sexually harassing female colleagues – or maybe he’s not in trouble at all,” Bee began. Footage of CNN’s coverage of the allegations then played, explaining the details of Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker report, which included accusations from six women that Moonves acted inappropriately towards them. An NBC clip then stated that Moonves has so far not been asked to step down from his position. “Yes, who could ever bear to get rid of the creative mastermind who developed ‘Hawaii Five-O’ and ‘Hawaii Five-O: Miami? '” the TBS host joked. “Les Moonves may be a brilliant TV creator, but no cop procedural, no matter how well-crafted and original, is worth ending a woman’s career to shut her up,” Bee continued. “So in the words of one of the immortal characters he helped create: ‘It’s time for this Moonves to be eclipsed,’” Bee finished, slipping on a pair of aviator sunglasses. After the news broke of the allegations against Moonves, CBS released a statement saying it would not be taking immediate action against the CEO, but that it would be hiring outside counsel to conduct an investigation. On Wednesday, the network announced the two law firms that it hired, and said that it would also form a special committee to oversee the investigation.<doc-sep>Samantha Bee is not happy that CBS Corp CEO has not been made to step down yet in the wake of sexual harassment allegations, and said so on the air, five days after Ronan Farrow’s long-awaited Moonves expose published. “CBS president Les Moonves is in deep trouble for sexually harassing female colleagues – or maybe he’s not in trouble at all,” Bee said on the latest edition of Full Frontal.

Here is the video (the Les Moonves portion starts at the 5’30” mark):<doc-sep>Samantha Bee ended her “Full Frontal” monologue Wednesday night by invoking “CSI: Miami” to criticize how CBS has responded to accusations of sexual misconduct against its CEO, Les Moonves. “In the words of one of the immortal characters he helped create: ‘It’s time for this Moonves to be eclipsed’,” Bee said at the end of her monologue as she put on a pair of sunglasses. The gag was a reference to David Caruso’s “CSI: Miami” character, Horatio Caine, who routinely puts on sunglasses to emphasize a pun related to the murder case he’s currently investigating. Last week, Moonves was accused of sexually harassing six women in a New Yorker article by investigative journalist Ronan Farrow. Notably, two of the women said Moonves physically intimidated them or threatened their careers in order to keep them quiet. Moonves has denied the accusations, and CBS is currently conducting an investigation.

Of course, though, even if Moonves was a talented creator, Bee said, “no cop procedural, no matter how well-crafted and original, is worth ending a woman’s career to shut her up.” Also Read: Michelle Wolf Compares ICE to ISIS in Fake Recruitment Sketch (Video) At the end, right after her Horatio Caine joke, “Full Frontal” put down the perfect “CSI” punctuation: The “Yeah!” clip from The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” that served as the “Miami” theme song and always kicked in right as Caine made his pun.<doc-sep>
