Samantha Bee on doing another 'Not the WHCD' special: 'Nope!'

The late-night host also tells us what book’s been on her nightstand lately.

How do you unwind when its your job to get wound up?

For Samantha Bee, the answer is easy:The Handmaids Tale!

I feel like Im watching a lot of television products that are intensely upsetting, Bee tells EW.

I dont know, is that unwinding?

[Laughs] Were so glad that people are coming on this journey with us.

But I have no solutions to offer them!

Were so proud of it.

It was a staggering experience seeing the audience reaction there.

It was really a moment.

I kind of hyperventilated beforehand.

Will this become an annual tradition?Nope!

Id rather explore some new terrain.

The reason we put that on the calendar was to bringourselvesjoy.

It was for us.

I imagine it can be exhausting having to keep up with every political development in this administration.

I dont know, is that unwinding?

I feel like Im seeing television products that are intensely upsetting.

And currently on my nightstand is the autobiography of a neo-Nazi.

So… nighty-night, everyone!

[Laughs] I promise, there is laughter around here.
