The World

Best known as the lone female correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” Samantha Bee taps into her past for her new memoir, I Know I Am, But What Are You? She explains the funniness of Canadians, and tells Kurt about her worst-ever job: a painful stint (in her late twenties) performing as the Japanese anime character Sailor Moon.
