Samantha Bee: Full Frontal's new set will reflect our aim "to take up more space in the world"

The Daily Beast

Bee tells The Daily Beast "it felt like a time for a bit of a refresh for our aesthetic," especially for her show's coverage of the midterms. "I’m very happy where we are," she says. "I think with anything, after two some-odd years you walk on stage and go, it seems small now, maybe we need something bigger. It’s not even really expanding the message of the show, I just think we’re ready for something bigger in that space. I think we’re ready to take up more space in the world and so why not have a set that reflects that?" Bee also addressed her C-word controversy, saying: "I was very regretful that that moment really took away from what I was trying to say with the segment. And the segment really effectively disappeared, you can’t find it anymore."
