TBS Gives The Detour a Third Season
We’ll get to embark on yet another leg of the lives and times of The Parkers as TBS, today, has given an official renewal for season 3 to The Detour.
With that, husband and wife comedy power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee seem like the new Prom King and Queen of TBS.
Despite everything they’ve gone through, the Parker family has stuck together just enough for a whole mess of trouble to come their way in another season of The Detour.
You can see things already unraveling in this clip.
The season 2 premiere of The Detour airs tonight at 10PM on TBS.
Jason Jones and his TV family are returning later this month to TBS for the second season of The Detour.
Hopefully, this trailer won’t spoil a whole lot if you haven’t seen all of season 1. So, watch at your discretion.
Season 2 of The Detour premieres on Tuesday, February 21st.
9PM on TBS.
Though not back to back, real life comedy power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee will have their own shows on the same network on the same night.
The Detour, which they both created and Jones stars in, kicks off its maelstrom of a family vacation tonight on TBS. So, it might be worth just tuning in to TBS for a night of The Detour, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and Conan.

So far, the new TBS is into renewing early and we like it.
On top of getting see the series pilot for free on TBS’ YouTube page, The Detour just got picked up for another season before its series premiere next Monday.
With the extension of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee announced earlier this week, you can expect TBS to be in the Jason Jones/Sam Bee business for awhile.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and Angie Tribeca seems to be off and running quite well, so TBS is now setting its sights to launching its latest series, The Detour from Daily Show alums and comedy power couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee.
For starters, the network is starting off nicely by putting the entire pilot on YouTube before the premiere next week.
If that gets you hooked, catch the premiere at 9PM on Monday, April 11th on TBS.
Samantha Bee is already off and running with Full Frontal and now her husband Jason Jones is getting ready to launch the TBS series that he’s starring in, The Detour. The show promises a family vacation that takes a dark turn, though under much suspicious circumstances than the National Lampoon Vacation movies, and lets chaos reign.
This promo probably just scratches the surface for how bad this family vacation. The Detour premieres on TBS on Mon. Apr. 11th.
Once a network that you primarily just knew for Conan, TBS is looking to start anew in this ever changing landscape of TV, especially when it comes to comedy.
So, with the likes of an entire new line-up of shows including the Steve and Nancy Carell’s Angie Tribeca, Jason Jones’ The Detour, People of Earth from Conaco, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Search Party from Charles Rogers and Sarah Violet Bliss (the duo behind Fort Tilden), and Wrecked.
From the looks of this trailer that rundowns this new line-up, they might have a good shot at finding a new niche.
With Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, and soon, Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show, the end of one and the beginning of a new era are coming soon.
Last night marked the final episode of The Daily Show for longtime correspondent Jason Jones and along with it came a great retrospective of Jones’ time there going all the way back to when he started in 2005.
His exit comes at the same time with his wife Sam Bee’s and will precede Stewart’s departure later this year, leaving a Daily Show that’s largely new correspondents and a brand new, yet to be announced host. The individual projects that Jones and Bee have going over at TBS should be fun to look forward to.
In many ways, it’ll be like when Stewart first took over The Daily Show all those years ago.

They still don’t have a name for the show, but the family vacation comedy from The Daily Show’s correspondent couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee has gotten 10 episode order from TBS.
From the sound of what has been described, it seems like it might be a 21st century take on where National Lampoon’s Vacation film franchise left off. The Vacation franchise is also picking up where it left off with a reboot starring Ed Helms later this year.
WIth the announcement of the series pick-up, Jones has tweeted that he’ll be leaving The Daily Show as well since he will be plenty busy writing, starring, etc. in this new show.
(via Deadline)
The Daily Show continues to be a great tree that TV, film, etc. can pick from. John Oliver is killing it at on his own program, Last Week Tonight, Jon Stewart’s directorial debut Rosewater is on the horizon as is Aasif Mandvi’s book No Land’s Man.
Now, added to that mix, are current Daily Show correspondents Jason Jones and Samantha Bee and their family vacation comedy “Vacation Time” that just got a pilot order from TBS.
Jones is set to star and we’re completely on board for a National Lampoon’s Vacation-esque series from Jones and Bee.
Jon Stewart fell ill last night to the point where he could, for the night, not fulfill his duties as host of The Daily Show. So, filling in for him, was Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones who tussled back and forth with another Daily Show correspondent/his wife Samantha Bee.
On top of all of those hijinks while Jon’s not at home, Jones and Bee enjoyed a reunion interview with former correspondent Wyatt Cenac and some nice pie.
Who knows what these kids will get into if Jon’s not home again?
