In the first of what is sure to be a strong line of remote segments for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Bee actually went to Syria (unlike her days at The Daily Show where they would often just throw up a background resembling wherever the piece was supposed to take place). 

She sat down and talked to actual refugees and the people who are responsible for relocating them, which pairs well with Conan, who she leads in on Monday, and his more frequent trips to remote locales around the globe.

So, watch part 1 of The People We’re Incoherently Yelling About here.
