Part of the expectation of a 'late night' show, besides the use of the phrase,
was that the show was expected to be paired with Conan's. Now it's true that
Full Frontal is paired with the show, but just one night a week and as a
lead-in.
And I'll say right now I do not expect this confusion on my part to influence
whether or not I like the show. I've enjoyed Samantha Bee's field pieces,
which are a part of the show, and featured heavily in some programs. I just
expected to see a lot more of them than it turns out there will be.

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. Doug FieldsTampa, FL From: [email protected]

Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Full Frontal is coming next Monday Would that model
- on a different night - not be what Last Week Tonight on HBO is? A half-hour
weekly show? Adam On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 9:14 PM, 'David Bruggeman' via

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee premieres next Monday. 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
