They’re going to mature from the beginning of shooting to the very end.Īre you pulling stories from you and Jason’s own adventures on road trips? Yes, we are literally corrupting the minds of young actors. All the dirty ways that you can be, our show is dirty. Like sexually dirty, or like dirt on skin?

We think it’s really funny, so hopefully people will think it’s really funny with us. It’s what we like, so I would say it’s dark. It’s a little bit Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, in a TV-MA way. They’re basically traveling a stretch of I-95, and I can’t even - it’s hardly believable that they get to their destination. Just in the pilot alone, I feel like they take three crazy detours. We haven’t seen the package that they’re running from it.

I don’t know that you’ll get a full appreciation for it. What kind of misadventures will they be getting into? But I think there might be a detour along the way, or possibly numerous detours. They have two kids, two 11-year-old twins, and they’re going on a seven-day vacation.

Jason is the dad, and Natalie Zea, who’s right beside me, is playing his wife. It’s a ten-episode arc, and from start to finish - I mean, if you want to binge it - it will all make sense. What’s unusual about it is that it’s serialized. It’s a TV-MA comedy with a family at the center of it, really. We caught up with Bee in the green room, staged at Nick & Stef’s, before the Madison Square Garden presentation, to discuss the show’s misadventures, corrupting child actors, and an “issues-oriented” show that’s she’s also working on with her husband for the network. The Daily Show’s Samantha Bee will be sending husband Jason Jones on very dirty “detours” for their new TBS show, The Detours, which was announced Wednesday morning during the Turner Broadcasting upfront.
