SHELTER IN PLACE WITH SHANE SMITH
Vice, 10:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: Shane Smith, the founder of Vice, has developed an instant series of sorts that takes full advantage of the social distancing mandates prompted by the current pandemic. As Bill Maher and others are quickly learning, what a TV host loses, by having no studio audience, no studio and no in-person guests, can be a gain, by getting remote, “virtual” availability to guests who otherwise might not show, yet are more available than ever at the moment. Tonight, with almost no warning, Smith launches a new series, Shelter in Place with Shane Smith, and starts out by presenting two half-hour installments, each featuring a very special interview guest. First up is whistleblower Edward Snowden, who was sheltered in place long before that was cool (or, in most places, mandatory), followed at 10:30 p.m. ET by California Gov. Gavin Newsome, whose state was among the first to call for restricted movement by American citizens.
