Speaking of Samantha Bee, I got to go to a taping!
She’s funny as all get out, but we already knew that from watching her on TV.
There was a time for audience questions and I asked her something along the lines of how if working on other shows completely prepared her, or if there were still things she was learning now with her own.
And I think her answer was basically that in your own show there’s just a lot more pressure on you – even if you’re a KEY player on another show, it’s never gonna be the same as your own.
Also, on your own, you can always play to your strengths/favorites. [E.g. if you love field stories, you can rely heavier on field stories, etc.] And you can do the stories you want.
At least, I’m pretty sure that’s how it went down! I hate how much I’ve forgotten! Aye aye aye. Moving on!
