Samantha Bee and Jason Jones — her husband, producer and fellow former “Daily Show” correspondent — take Bee's late-night show, “Full Frontal,” into the woods outside their house in upstate New York after the coronavirus pandemic shut down production. Jones is the crew, and Bee still opens every episode with her trademark speedy monologue. They now have no audience — except for woodland creatures. Bee and Jones tell us how they’re keeping their late-night show going while the rest of the show’s 70-person staff works from home.

And on the news banter: Disney+ booms, while people only nibble at Quibi so far.
