Samantah Bee wants 'Full Frontal' to be more in the field, less with the guests

Stunt guests and lame ones both periodically pop up in today's late night landscape. In fact, Hilary "Hildawg" Clinton is set to make her umpteenth appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She's already appeared on Late Night, The Late Show and probably everyone else's; a trait that both she and Donald Trump share.  

Samantha Bee aims to change all of that with her new talk show on TBS, Full Frontal. Speaking at the Television Critic's Association this week with The Hollywood Reporter, the host and her showrunner, Jo Miller, stated that Bee will not be static: "She's not going to be a lady behind a desk. She's going to move around ... and we're not having guests, so we can have this lovely third act where we can do whatever we want."

Bee added on to that sentiment saying that Full Frontal is poised to have more field pieces than desk bits saying that that's the kind of work she's passionate about. The ultimate goal is to evolve the medium as a whole by changing up styles. Bee also said she loves the personal aspect of talking to people: "It's kind of the best part of the job. I learn something from every person I talk to." Full Frontal debuts on TBS on February 8

Tina Fey plays First Impressions on 'The Tonight Show'

Amidst her and Amy Poehler's war on Star Wars, Tina Fey was in a jovial mood as she played First Impressions with longtime friend Jimmy Fallon. The two riff on people like Sofia Vegara and Jack Nicholson. Jimmy even whips out his great Morgan Freeman voice. Who knew he was so talented?

Along with that news Splitsider also learned the identities of the show's writers. Writers and executive producers will be Trevor Noah, Adam Lowitt, and Steve Bodow. The Head Writer will be Zhubin Parang with Daniel Radosh as the Senior Writer. Staff Writers include Hallie Haglund, Dan McCoy, Lauren Sarver, Travon Free, Matt Koff, Dan Amira, Owen Parsons, Delaney Yeager, David Kibuuka, Joseph Opio, Devin Delliquanti, and Alex Marino.

And finally, in a Rolling Stone interview released on Wednesday, Noah revealed that the premiere week of the show would "play out like a four part miniseries" with the first episode being a reintroduction into the program and its format. He also opened up about what it's like being a mixed race comedian in post-apartheid South Africa as well as society evolving alongside comedy. It's a good read and Noah has some decent points. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah premieres on Monday September 28 at 11 PM on Comedy Central.

Samantha Bee shows off her lady balls in this new 'Full Frontal' promo

Samantha Bee is coming to TBS! The late night correspondent turned late night talk show host is getting her own show next year. TBS has released a new promo for the show revealing its name and everything. Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is coming sometime in January 2016. While it isn't the first late night show other than Conan on TBS, it certainly is ballsier. I'm not sorry.
