Variety reports that although Jones will leave the show later this year, fellow correspondent (and Jones’ wife) Samantha Bee will remain with the program.
TBS ordered 10 episodes of the new project in which Jones will star. Jones and Bee serve as executive producers on the new comedy series and wrote the pilot. The show, inspired by the real-life couple’s life, follows a family as they take a road trip to Florida.
