'The Detour's second season starts in February

People who just can't get enough of that Samantha Bee should be ecited to hear that her show -- co-created with her husband and equally famous person Jason Jones -- The Detour is coming back very soon. The new season will follow the Parkers as they move to New York for a change of scenery. But Robin (Natalie Zea) is harboring some dark secrets from her past. And the kids Jared (Liam Carroll) and Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) are super awkward in their new school. Guest stars include Laura Benanti, John Oliver, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, James Cromwell, Max Casella, and Samantha Bee herself. The Detour season 2 airs February 21st at 9 PM.

Today turned out to be a great day for women in late night as two of the funniest in the business managed to use their comedy chops to high profile jobs. First, it was announced that Samantha Bee's late night series, Full Frontal, was renewed through 2016. A TBS press release stated that the series would have 26 more episodes on top of the thirteen it is already producing. If that doesn't sound so cool, look at John Oliver's Last Week Tonight today which was in a similar situation with HBO last year.

 

On top of that, Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Michelle Wolf is headed to The Daily Show. Joining Jessica Williams, Jordan Klepper, and a bunch of other funny people, Williams is set to be both a writer and on air contributor. Late night was once a barren wasteland to the female gender but this is a nice leap by today's standards. Let those lady ball hang low, girls!
