For the comedic genius behind Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, you might think picking out her most awkward moment on camera would be tricky but the Emmy-nominated writer/host was able to pick it out in an instant.

Sitting down with PEOPLEs editor-in-chief Jess Cagle for the rapid-fire Cagle Exercise, Samantha Bee opened up about her fears, loves and everyday life.

The one thing I wish I was allowed to do on television is

I literally get to do everything I want on television and I dont know why, the formerDaily Showcorrespondent said. I feel that there is no terrain left for me to conquer in terms of how hard I have pushed it. But anyway, still employ me TBS!

I am beyond grateful that ___ is open 24 hours

I am beyond grateful that New York City is open 24 hours! I need it to be open Its not important for you to know why Im on the street at 5 oclock in the morning, but sometimes I am and there so many people all around. Im always very happy to greet the world.

My recurring nightmare is

Its so stupid! But its true. Its that Im waitering and I have a table of people who ordered different-flavored milkshakes and Im working at a restaurant with no milkshake maker. Its horrible! I wake up in a cold sweat.

If I had to kiss one celebrity right now it would be

I dont like celebrities, the actress, who was named one of TIMEs 100 Most Influential people in 2017, quipped. They pretty much all have trench mouth.

What keeps me up at night is

If you watch my show, I think you know what keeps me up at night, Bee said of her famously funny criticisms of the president. Also, last night before I went to bed I ate a massive bag of dill pickle chips and thats what kept me up.

The funniest person Ive ever known is

My husband! she added of her partner in love and work, Jason Jones. Hes amazingly funny and thats why I married him. Thats what keeps our marriage sexual!

The most awkward moment Ive ever had on camera is

I once interviewed Al Sharpton while an electric breast pump pumped my breasts under a blanket. He was answering questions like a proper human being and all you could hear was this like slurp, slurp, slurp. It was really loud and amazing.

In the debate on the place of confederate statues in American society, liberal political commentator Al Sharpton is firmly on the side of: absolutely nowhere.

He made that abundantly clear during a recent interview with PBS Charlie Rose.

During his interview with Rose, Sharpton said that he doesnt want his tax dollars to support monuments honoring even men who owned slaves. Specifically, he mentioned the monstrous Thomas Jefferson memorial in Washington D.C.

This is personal to us. My great grandfather was a slave in South Carolina, Sharpton said. People need to understand that people were enslaved.

Because his family was a victim of slavery, Sharpton said his tax dollars shouldnt be forced to support an image of what he feels is oppression.

Public monuments [to people like Jefferson] are supported by public funds, Sharpton said. Youre asking me to subsidize the insult to my family.

Instead of placing them prominently in society, Sharpton suggested the monuments be placed in private museums.

After the interview aired, people were quick to point out the hypocrisy of Sharptons comments. He doesnt want his money to go to these monuments, yet he is notoriously known for owing millions to the Internal Revenue Service.

How can he complain when he doesnt pay his taxes?

Its understandable to not want your hard-earned money to support things that you dont agree with or support. But its a bit rich coming from Sharpton who, after all, advocates the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the nations largest provider of abortions.

Double standard much, Al?

MSNBC host Al Sharpton is calling for ending federal funding for maintenance and security for the Jefferson Memorial because the third U.S. president owned slaves.

When you look at the fact thatpublic monuments are supported by public funds youre asking me to subsidize the insult of my family.I would repeat that the public should not be paying to uphold somebody who has had that kind of background, Sharpton told CBS host Charlie Rose.

You have private museums, you have other things that you may want to do there, he added.

The Jefferson Memorial is a large structure on the banks of the Potomac river, sitting on federal grounds.

Jefferson had slaves and children with his slaves. And it does matter, Sharpton continued.

I think that people need to understand when people that were enslaved and robbed of even the right to marry, and had forced sex with their slave masters, this is personal to us.

This is personal, Sharpton exclaimed. This is not some kind of removed discussion from us, our families were victims of this. Certainly they ought to be removed.

Rose began to pose, Therefore everybody associated with slavery in terms of a public monument to them, before Sharpton

When you look at the fact that public monuments are supported with public funds, you are asking me to subsidize the insult to my family.

Then I repeat, Thomas Jefferson had slaves, Rose injected.

Sharpton replied, And I would repeat that the public should not be paying to uphold somebody who has that kind of background. You have private museums, you have other things that you may want to do there.
