Jason Jones and Samantha Bee Welcome Second Child

Daily Show senior correspondents Jason Jones and Samantha Bee, 39, welcomed son Fletcher on Friday, June 20th. Fletcher joins big sister Piper, 2 ½. Jason, 41, shared that "Fletcher Jones, is that not a quarterback’s name? My kid is going to be a quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger Cats one day."

The couple, who met when they were both cast members in a Canadian National Exhibition live-action production, joked that they "bonded through our mutual dislike of the children, which is ironic because we’re raising some now." 

The pregnancy was announced in January.

Fletcher Jones is a big car dealer (Mercedes) in southern cal so that name just reminds me of cars!

That’s odd, their first child has a hyphenated surname, Piper Bee-Jones, why doesn’t the second kid?

Lara- maybe Jason thought Fletcher Bee-Jones isn’t a quarterback’s name lol
