Nightly Show cancelled

Comedy Central has cancelled the late-night talk show The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore. The network's president Kent Alterman said the show "hasn't resonated".

Wilmore, who previously appeared as the "Senior Black Correspondent" on The Daily Show, often explores the intersection of race and politics. In a statement, he borrowed a phrase from his show, "The Unblackening", referring to the replacing of United States President Barack Obama. "I guess I hadn't counted on 'The Unblackening' happening to my time slot as well," he said.
