I Know I Am, But What Are You?

Candid, outspoken, laugh-out-loud funny essays from much-loved Samantha Bee, host of TBS's uproarious late-night show <i>Full Frontal with Samantha Bee</i>, executive producer and writer of TBS's comedy television series <i>The Detour</i>, and former <i>The Daily Show with Jon Stewart</i>’s Most Senior Correspondent.<BR><BR>In <i>I Know I Am, But What Are You?</i> she shares her unique and irreverent viewpoint on subjects as wide-ranging as:<BR> <BR>BARBIE’S DREAM HOUSE<BR> There were six main players in my coterie: G.I. Joe (macho, good-looking), Wonder Woman (hot, carpet-munching neighbor, busy with athletics), Marie Osmond (career gal, smart), Ken (gay, obviously), regular Barbie (slutty, dumb, eternally single), and an old-timey Barbie from the sixties (smoker’s cough, swinger).<BR> <BR>HER CHILDHOOD CRUSH<BR> I had a notebook dedicated to ironing out the details of my postmarital name change. Samantha Christ. Mrs. Jesus H. Christ. In fact, Jesus and I were so tight that if at any moment He should materialize, I knew we would listen to my disco records and eat Tang straight from the package, just like lovers did.<BR> <BR>GYM CLASS<BR> My grandmother would send me in a navy-blue, puffy-sleeved, one-piece cashmere sweat suit with a patent-leather belt, and warn me not to sweat in it, since it was dry-clean only.<BR> <BR>FAMILY TIES<BR> There’s really nothing creepier than going somewhere with one of your parents and having people think you are together, as a couple. Of lovers. Who do it. With each other.
