Yes, same format, but the point being emphasized is that Full Frontal (which we’ve been led to believe was going to be a “late night” show) will be airing earlier than the 11:00pm east coast time that we’ve normally considered the dividing line between “prime time” and “late night.” Last Week airs at 11, so there’s no ambiguity.

A half-hour weekly show?

Contrary to what I was expecting, it is apparently a half-hour weekly program that will air right before Conan on Mondays. To be fair, I don't remember anyone explicitly stating the show would run weeknights after Conan, but calling the show a late night program and Bee a late night host made it really easy to infer as much. The half-hour format isn't a big deal, TBS used that format with Pete Holmes. But weekly and pre-11 pm kind of expands the notion of an American late night program. David -- -- TV or Not TV ....
