Tonight is going to be a sad night on Twitter because Comedy Central cancelled @midnight effective August 4th. According to Variety, it was a mutually decision between the network and Chris Hardwick.
The trade also reports that Comedy Central is expected to announce a new political show at 11:30p with Daily Show’s former correspondent Jordan Klepper. I get that politics are all the rage on late night TV, but I thought @midnight was one of their biggest hits. I would rather have some straight up comedy as compared to more talk about the awful administration.
Remember in 2009, when Billy Bob Thornton came off as a real jerk during an interview with CTV? Well he just did one with Comedy Central’s Drunk History and he comes off even worse. He goes from playing Bad Santa to being Bad Billy Bob. What did that guy do besides his job. Good thing they can drink on the job because he is going to need a cold one or ten to shake that off.
You can watch what happens next tonight at 10:30p.
Out of all of the celebrity sex tapes out, Rob Lowe’s is by my favorite. Like all great movies from the ’90s, it finally got a sequel. Here he is looking just as hot nude as he did then and it doesn’t blow.
Just like his Comedy Central Roast won’t blow on Monday.
Are you ready to watch his new sax tape?
Comedy Central announced today that this Thursday’s episode of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore will be its last. The show debuted last January, but it never connected with audiences both on the small screen and virally, thus their decision.
Comedy Central president Kent Alterman told Variety, “We hold Larry in the highest esteem, personally and professionally. He brought a strong voice and point of view to the late-night landscape,” adding, “Unfortunately it hasn’t resonated with our audience.” Therefore their decision.
While the news is not surprising, it is surprising that they cancelled it before the Presidential election. You would think they would’ve kept it until mid-November, but guess not.
Since I like conspiracy theories, I want to know why they made this decision now. My theory is that are thinking of bringing back Stephen Colbert who is not doing well over at CBS. It would make sense right?
At this time, The Hollywood Reporter says that Trevor Noah is safe. But since he is also not doing well in the ratings and barely getting much social media attention, I think his days are numbered too. Which gives more credence to my theory about Colbert.
Especially since at this point they are not planning to replace that show until the new year at the earliest.
It has been a while since Comedy Central has Roasted someone, and they finally announced who their next Brat is going to be. Nope, they are not going to Roast Justin Bieber again, instead they are going to Roast someone who’s more than twice his age. The original Brat…Packer, Rob Lowe.
The pretty boy with the eyes said, “What a thrill to once again be following in Justin Bieber’s footsteps. I look forward to a night of hilarious jokes recycled from the James Franco Roast. I would like to express my gratitude to the members of my family who have passed away and therefore will not have to endure what promises to be a very special evening.”
As special as the evening he had with the teenage girl in Atlanta? I hope the Dais can bring up his 1988 sex tape. Not only because it is the best celebrity one out there, but because it is the best thing for them to go off on. Well that and he had not 1, not 2, but 3 shows cancelled this year.
When it comes to who will be Roasting him, I hope they get his brother Chad Lowe, his former TV brother Fred Savage, John Stamos who gets mistaken for him and his ex Melissa Gilbert to name a few. Who do you want to see up their ripping him a new one?
