Story highlights Samantha Bee apologizes for a segment that made fun of a man's haircut

(CNN) Late-night host Samantha Bee apologized on Thursday for a segment on her show that made fun of a cancer patient's haircut.

The clip on "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" showed several men, who producer Mike Rubens said had "Nazi hair," at last month's Conservative Political Action Conference.

One of the men in the piece was Kyle Coddington. He's a contributor for the Outset Network, which reported that he recently completed his first round of chemotherapy and radiation treatments

According to a GoFundMe page that was set up in December, Coddington has been diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
