You might be familiar with
Vogue's popular one-take YouTube series
73 Questions, where producer Joe Sabia knocks on the door of a celeb like Lady Gaga or Gwyneth Paltrow and gets a tour of their pristine abode while asking, you got it, 73 questions. Those questions often lead to info about their homes, their daily routines and musings about their outlook on life.
Full Frontal’s (Wednesdays at 10:30EP on CTV Comedy) Samantha Bee is still holding out hope that all of her preparations and rehearsing for
Vogue will result in the fashion mag producer knocking on
her front door quarantine shack in the woods and give her a shot at answering nearly 100 pre-determined questions.“Shooting a TV show during a pandemic is a very different experience to me,” she said in the wilderness with her husband Jason Jones wielding the camera, “so I like to practice doing press just in case, oh I don't know,
Vogue drops by and they want to do
73 Questions poolside or oceanside or... shack side.”
In an audition tape for the times, Samantha's (less than) 73 Questions turns into a grim existential look at what we're all thinking about in quarantine.She starts off fine—leaving an expensive floral arrangement outside her front shack door "for the woodland creatures," because that’s definitely something Dakota Johnson or Elle Fanning might do, she practices her answers to some of
Vogue’s hardest-hitting and in-depth questions.“What's your favourite word? Gravitas,” she answers her own question with a Hollywood smile. “What's your least favourite word? Can't.”[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: The OG 'Hamilton' cast, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots perform 'Helpless' at 'Global Goal: Unite for Our Future' [/video_embed]The façade of celebrity poise and composure slides away quickly to reveal the true fears of our favourite foul-mouthed TV host. “My greatest fear is that the power grid goes out and we all resort to cannibalism.” She's ready.This isn’t the first time quarantine has forced the Canadian host to nearly lose her cool under self-isolation pressure. She recently enlisted her
children to dye her hair under the guise of family fun, but that quickly devolved too (they definitely put the ‘fun’ in ‘dysfunctional’). She also tried
to befriend the woodland creatures outside her quarantine-shack, but even the animals were like, “mmm, nahhh.”In actuality, we can only imagine that a real
73 Questions starring Sam Bee would be more along the lines of the
one with Cardi B, where the singer talked fashion and motherhood, but brought it all back to the importance of politics. Come to think of it, maybe we need a show with Cardi B and Samantha Bee together—the punny show name writes itself.Watch
