“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” returned Wednesday night with a new studio — Bee’s woodsy suburban backyard. Like her other late-night cohorts, Bee — who’s married to actor/comedian Jason Jones (“The Detour”) — is self-quarantining at home during the coronavirus outbreak.
But unlike the Jimmys (Fallon and Kimmel), Seth Meyers, Conan O’Brien et al., Bee is doing most of her show outside in her backyard — with Jones as her lone “cameraman” until “Full Frontal” can return to the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th St.
While Bee (and Jones) made her “Full Frontal” return look effortless, the logistics of arranging the shoot were extremely complicated, says “Full Frontal” executive producer Alison Camillo. “It was super-challenging,” she says.
