  1. “Definitely With full frontal Know, there were times at the Daily Show, which was like an amazing training ground, of course, but there were definitely times when I would do a piece and think, oh, I think I would push that further. Like I would take that further in a direction. Really, it was John's editor, it was his voice, not mine. So you can only push it as far as well, we did a piece about a rape loophole and about rapists in prison suing for custody of their children who were the product of rape. And it was such an upsetting story for me”

  2. “People Like working for myself better I did think that I wanted to do that, and I do recall pitching a show, pitching a kind of like a 60-minute style show, because I do love to do field work. I like to go out in the world and do stuff. And I recall pitching lightly pitching myself as the host of a show like that years prior and the feedback generally being why would we do that? We already have one show. I have John. We don't need any more shows. Right. Because John takes care of him. He does it. He takes care of everything. No more voices required. Yes, exactly, especially female. So that was shut down and never really wasn't a driving passion. I always thought that maybe I would do that in the future, but I was kind of focused on scripted quite honestly. So it surprised me, came out of the blue.”

  5. “Developing that, we had shot the pilot, and then he announced. And so we really knew that we would leave the Daily Show at some point. We just wanted to jump off onto our own thing. We wanted ownership over our own property. So we had developed lots of stuff. So this was one of them. It was the first one that went to pilot. We were really proud of it and loved it. And so when he announced that he was leaving, it was shocking but not surprising. And we thought, okay, it's going to be the detour. Come on, detour, please get picked up because we would like to leave. I think that this is the time that we will leave.”

  6. “Yeah, for a long time, for 12 years. And then John announced that he was leaving. I'm just going to get the timeline all messed up. He announced that he was leaving. We were already, my husband and I had developed a scripted show at TBS and we had already shot the pilot for that. And we thought it's called the detour. We're in the shooting season four right now.

  8. “All the crunches. What we decided to go against that because it would make a lot of noise. So we just came from the New York Times Conference where you're talking with Cecile Richards about the new rules, I guess. So let's start a little bit though by talking about your rules and what you have achieved. Now, the only host of a female host of a... Well, I”
