On Monday morning in The New York Times, Comedy Central announced that it will be canceling almost effective immediately far-left comedian Larry Wilmore’s The Nightly Show after only a year and a half on the air of mocking and smearing conservatives to the delight of television critics and other liberal journalists from coast-to-coast.
Comedy Central President Kent Alterman revealed that, along with the fact that the contracts of Wilmore and other staffers are set to expire, Wilmore’s show simply “hasn’t resonated” despite “hoping against hope that it would start to click.”

Shouldn't low-rated Trevor Noah also be cancelled?

"Wilmore’s show simply “hasn’t resonated” despite “hoping against hope that it would start to click.” It resonated like a wooden spoon against a 100 cast iron weight.

18 months is a long time to air a crpp show while hoping that it might finally get viewers. Comedy Central must have money to burn.

He is also known for calling Obama, to his face, the N-Word, at the WHCD.

It can take a while for a program to grab an audience. The ratings must have been catastrophic.

Baraq loved it. The only African-American thing about Obama is the African.

Well yeah - the left has no sense of humor and the right was being insulted, so... (though no, I’ve never watched the Com Channel ever).

So should Samatha B. A more unfunny show would be hard to find. She is just stupid. However, firing her would be “sexist”.

That seems to be an all too common thread among the aggrieved African-Americans: they forget or ignore the American part!!
