Samantha Bee: Daily Show a Great Place for Moms
NPR’s Terry Gross interviewed The Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee on today’s Fresh Air in conjunction with the release of Bee’s new memoir, i know i am, but what are you? The book details her journey “from young Canadian comic to correspondent for The Daily Show. She describes her teenage years stealing cars, her love affair with Jesus Christ and her early work in a touring children’s show — one of many jobs she took while trying to start her comedy career.”
According to Bee, The Daily Show is a great place of employment for working mothers. “The Daily Show could not be more accommodating. It really is a very family-friendly place to work, and I think maybe that would surprise people. Maybe it wouldn’t. But they are great about it. They are happy when people have children there. Nobody goes into distress or lockdown mode. Everybody’s very warm and embracing and they’ve been so accommodating with us bringing our children with us when we go away.”
Bee’s husband, Jason Jones, is also a correspondent on the show. She says working together has been great for their marriage. “It’s very helpful. It’s really nice that they hired Jason because that makes it a lot easier on me because we have adult time together. Being at work is kind of like being on a date minus the S-E-X.”
