Samantha Bee revealed the format of her new TBS late-night series “Full Frontal” during the 2016 TCA Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California.
Bee said the show will resemble a weekly news magazine format rather than a nightly news show. She will not feature guests like a traditional late night series, which she says leaves the third act of each show open to what she calls “our world of whimsy,” where anything can happen.
Bee also said she wants highlight issues that are largely ignored by the media.”What we really want to do at the show is take stories that we don’t think receive enough attention and stab them with red hot poker of comedy,” she said.
