‘The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore’ canceled by Comedy Central

“The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” will call it a day after Thursday’s episode.

Comedy Central has canceled the half-hour series that replaced “The Colbert Report” on Jan. 19, 2015, making “Nightly” the first of the recent wave of late-night newcomers to shutter.

Wilmore informed his staff of the cabler’s decision on Monday.

I like Wilmore a lot. But his show was.... boring most of the time.

Hope he gets back on his feet soon. He is very talented. If Sam Bee didn't have her own weekly already, I'd say give it to her!
