Hours after Autotrader pulled advertising from the TBS late-night talk show Full Frontal, insurance giant State Farm suspended its ad sponsorship of the Samantha Bee-hosted show after she called White House senior advisor Ivanka Trump.
“We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements,” State Farm said in a statement Thursday to TheWrap. “We constantly review programs to ensure alignment to our programming guidelines and brand values.”
State Farm’s decision to pull its ads from Bee’s weekly show came hours after Autotrader suspended its ad buys.
“Thank you to those who reached out regarding our sponsorship of Full Frontal,” read a message from the Autotrader official Twitter account. “he comments expressed by Samantha Bee were offensive and unacceptable and do not reflect the views of our company.”
“As a result, we have suspended our sponsorship of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” the company’s tweet concluded.
