  7. Hmm, let me think about the perks. I kind of have good clothes. I like my clothes, but I was always a decent reference. I guess I was a decent dresser before. I've always worn blazers, so that's nothing. Yeah, there's really nothing new there.

  8. For sure It would be nice to. I could. Oh, gee, this is such a future conversation. But I could 100%. I don't need to be in front of the camera forever. I could easily, would love to put shows in place that love the subject matter. I'm definitely all move in that direction of development for sure, but I could easily move on to something else working, creating my own foundation. Very few.

  9. Into working with refugees is a very easy place that I could imagine my life going. It's a really easy direction for me to imagine.

  10. Oh, thank you Thank you. Yeah, I would say that the refugee situation is very compelling to me personally. These are just my personal passions. I could see that the next phase of my life being completely different and just pouring myself into.

  11. We did it, guys. We did it. I wouldn't say that there's any, it's not like we have subject matter that we go. One day we'll cover this. These, you know, women's issues are very important to me because that's who I am. But also I would say that immigrant issues are very important to me personally. That's just a

  12. I'm just kind of on the fringes of this world a little bit. Just go off and do this thing, and it's not the thing that doesn't doing a comedy show is great. I love it. I love the people that I work with. Like, I give it over to them completely. But it's not the only thing in my life. And it's not the last thing I'll ever do.

  13. I'm not really a part. I'm actually not really a part of it, to be perfectly honest. It's not, I don't, we don't, there's no, I'm not a part of any secret society if it does exist. And I haven't really been invited to it. No, I mean, when I started as the daily show and my husband, when we were working there, we were very aware that we just didn't know anybody. We don't know any. We don't know a lot of comedians. We actually just didn't grow up in that because we were working in Canada. We don't have those relationships from like, remember the early days of the groundlings when we were all together and we all lived in a two-bedroom environment. We don't have any of that. So we've always felt a little bit like we were an island. Not to say that I don't have pleasant interactions. Sure, I've met lots more people now and it's great, but it's not like I don't feel not really beholden to anybody because my world in a way. It's weird to be.

  14. I do feel like it's open more. I mean, certainly I did comedy forever with actually with one of the producers at my show, Alana Harkon, we did comedy for years in Toronto. And if YouTube had existed when we were doing our comedy, it would have been a completely different experience, a completely different dynamic.

  16. Netflix and others. I think that's a good thing. I actually think that is a very forward and positive direction. More people with money, more people with, listen, we have to get people interested in. Other voices, we have to bring more people into the party. We have to, you know, like actually walk the walk of hiring interesting people and new voices and people who don't come with a giant resume, you have to be creative and you have to reach into different places to find people for sure. Otherwise, it'll be same, same, same

  17. Not all things, yeah. When you look at all the internet companies coming in with the money like Amazon and Netflix and others, and I was in Jane Lynch the other day about this, it's just she said she doesn't even think about it, whoever buys her stuff. She's fine. Do you imagine that's going to change the way things are, more accessibility for voices like yours, or do you not?

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. Like you're going to make other shows with your husband, you work together on that. We work together on some things, not all things.

  19. That it's work. I just treat it as work It is work. Right. That's how I see it. You're selling yourself. I think You're not big enough. When you think about that as a producer and you're making shows, like you're going to make other shows with your husband, you work together on that.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. I feel, but for me, the way that I perceive it is that it's work. I just treat it as work and stress out about it as though it's work because it is work. Right. That's how I see it. You're selling yourself. Yeah, definitely. You know, I'm not really, I think I'm an outsider. I think even though I have a platform and I have, you know, we're bought by AT on all of these relationships, but all of these relationships exist kind of outside of my world. think about that's a luxury that I can see that that is a luxury and I'm not 100% sure why that luxury has been afforded to me but great

  21. Thank I'm also very disconnected from that world because I live in, we do our show in New York City and I live in New York City and that's just a different vibe entirely. So I don't sachet around Hollywood parties and just like know everybody and just like I don't come into a Hollywood party and just like sparkle everyone to death with my reparte. Hey Jennifer Lauren.

  22. My kids are still at the stage where they're bored of me listening to the news all the time. I think they take in what they take in. They certainly know plenty about the world that we live in, but they're not obsessed with it. There's a fair amount of, I mean, the schools that they go to, they do a fair amount of discussion of current events. So they have, you know, they have a child or a preteens view of the world, which is good. But I remember at 10 years old disliking Ronald Reagan intensely. Right. And I think that my children feel the same way about Donald Trump. Not just because I'm telling them to, because they're learning about the things that he's doing.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. I made a game. I'm doing whatever I could do. Right. Oh my God, well, I hope so. I hope it does for early. I hope that my children can grow up in a world in which their sexual experiences aren't all coercion, you know, aren't all people convincing them that they should do a thing that they're not interested in doing or just Perpetrating it upon them. Of course, I want to live in a better world starting young.

  25. I don't really know how to answer that question. We're just experiencing it as it's happening. Obviously, we're affecting us all really deeply. It's affected everyone in my office really deeply. We know we've all had experiences. Everyone's grown up in this world. Everyone I know. Every woman, every woman. And if you haven't had an experience or don't know any of the characters in this story, good for you. Yeah.

  26. I was like, to be fair, he's dead. So let's move on. Well, that was a wonderful press conference. At some point, I think at 6 30 p.m. last night, I was not watching his rambling press conference, but I learned that it was still happening. I couldn't believe it.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. Talking about how are we still here? Still here, how are the same people asking questions that ask questions during Anita Hill? I found, I listened to the daily the other day just a recap of Anita Hill and it was mind-blowing for me how similar. It's just the same. Here we are. We still have people saying, but she was drunk. How did she end up going to a park? She went to 10 parties and got drunk at 10 parties and people were getting raped at those parties. Why didn't she call the FBI?

  35. A scream fest or a. I think that's great for other people if they want to do that. I'm actually just not as a human being interested in just being entertained with entertaining. It doesn't do anything for me. It's not what I personally like. I've always said this about entertainment. I'm just a person who likes to, I like someone to take my hand and drag me into a world, keep me there, keep my attention for the time that I'm with them and then push me out the door and get rid of me. I don't love gentle things anymore. I mean, you know, when I watch, I need just to be taken to a place forcefully. And listen, one of the shows I love the most is call the midwife. I'm in a world. You took me there. I believe it. I'm here. Right.

  36. When you're thinking about that, when you're trying, because you're obviously trying to talk about, you're not just trying to be silly. Because a lot of, I think a lot of the shows are that. They are just... They have no nutritional value. I don't know how else to put it. Because so much it tells us to become that way, either a scream fest or a.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. I think there's a way to do these types of shows with an entertaining aspect. I think without being part of the entertainment industry, but I do think that there's a way to do it that is.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. Well, maybe in a future incarnation of my life. You're the 60 minute show, my 60 minutes show is still. You see, everyone's going to

  40. There was a story ages ago about the foster care system in Mississippi, and you just go, well, there's nothing in here. There's just no opportunity for satire in here. This is just terrible all the way down. Right.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  41. No one's listening. And there are a subject matter too that we would love to do a story about it, but how are we going to tell that comedically? It's amazing.

  42. I think some things are, but we've always had that. We've always felt that. There always are jokes that you would make in rehearsal that you won't make on the show. Which one?

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. I don't think it was a mistake because I learned a lot from it, actually, but I understand it was hurtful for a lot of people in our audience, and I get that. I take that. I take that on board. I understand that. I own that.

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. I understand that the show has a different function now. I fully understand that I've spoken about it before, but now it's just in my bones. I get it now. It's a cathartic experience for us at the show, and we are giving voice to people who don't have their own shows to speak out, people who don't have a platform.

  46. Has given me more confidence. Does that make no sense? It makes me understand that it's really okay to take up more space in the world. Yeah. It really is okay. So we changed our title credits to reflect that.

  47. If anything, and this is, I'm discovering these words as I'm saying them, I haven't really thought about it a lot. Even better. I think that it

  48. We're established what we say has more consequence, slightly more. It doesn't change the way that we approach the show. It really just changed my inner. So, how does that

    2018-10-01 · Decoder with Nilay Patel · Recode Decode: 'Full Frontal' host Samantha Bee · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  49. To hold you back then because your show is. No, no, no, no. It doesn't hold me back, but it changed my perspective of the show. Because I guess prior to that, I really do keep everything very small in my brain. I keep it, I'm like a lady who grew up in Canada. Like, you know, I'm like, I'm, you know, I tend to keep the show on a very weekly basis. I'm always like spinning wheels and efforting toward making a show. We make the show. That's great. I put it on a shelf, start thinking about the next one. And it just occurred to me in this moment okay, we actually are part of the national conversation. Okay, it is different now. We're not an upstart show anymore. We've been doing this for years now. Now we are.

  50. Happens. And you know, It's fast. It'll always come up in a Google search about me, which is kind of a bad feeling. It was bad. I felt sad for my kids at school who, you know, people were talking about it in school. Ultimately, yeah, it changed the way that I think of the show for sure. So how did it do that?
