The Daily Beast

Tonight's one-hour Full Frontal special, titled "The Great American Puerto Rico," offers a “diverse group of stories” about Puerto Rico, including a comedy troupe that has been performing Hurricane Maria-related humor at a punk nightclub. “We’re painting a picture of the recovery and how it’s going and what it all means and how they’re going to be rebuild in the wake of this total catastrophe," says Bee, adding:  “There are stories that are just emerging here now that we heard on the ground there. It’s unbelievable to me.”
