Some late-night hosts have, in recent days, taken their shows to a front porch, back patio or basement. Samantha Bee lit out for the woods.
When fans of Bee’s “Full Frontal” tune in to the TBS program Wednesday evening, they will see the comedian surrounded by nature, the latest effort by a member of the nation’s late-night cohort to keep their series in production at a time when the spread of coronavirus has made that exceedingly complex. “We shot the show in the forest behind my house, and it has been an interesting experience,” Bee says in an interview. She has already released a few videos.
The host says she is doing what she can to “keep it moving and trying to maintain some continuity” in a surreal moment. All the late-night hosts depend on a live, in-studio audience to provide real-time feedback as well as on-camera energy...

As the world adapts to our new normal for the time being, the quarantine is not discriminating. From the working class to Hollywood’s elite, no man is left untouched by the United States’ necessary yet nearly draconian measures to “flatten the curve” of the Covid-19 virus. While we all adapt and try to occupy ourselves during this unchartered new lifestyle, somehow through the required social distancing movement, entertainment has found a way. As we have heard, “The Show Must Go On.” Through John Legend’s impromptu piano serenade, to Jimmy Kimmel’s Tonight Show and Trevor Noah's The Daily Show broadcast from their living room, many entertainers have found a way to maintain some sort of normalcy. Aside from attempting to maintain status quo, the will and desire of celebrities to continue to provide entertainment content offers the world a breath of levity in this very serious predicament.
