Larry Wilmore says final goodbye on The Nightly Show
Entertainment Weekly ^ | August 19 2016 — 7:30 AM EDT | Christopher Rosen

Larry Wilmore bid farewell to The Nightly Show on Thursday by thanking Comedy Central, former Daily Show host Jon Stewart (who appeared as a guest during the last episode), and the show’s staff and fans. […]

In an interview with EW before the final episode, Wilmore said his immediate post-show plans included taking a break from politics “for a while,” and a wish to perhaps one day moderate a debate.

But speaking as he signed off one last time from The Nightly Show, Wilmore offered just four words about what his future holds: “I’m not done yet.” …

This show had fans?

And I have to disagree with Wilmore: like Stewart, he is definitely done.

I can say this with truthfulness: Who?

Ah, the benefits of limiting my TV exposure.

“Wilmore said his immediate post-show plans included taking a break from politics ...”

So his show was political activism? Perhaps it should have been registered as a lobbyist organization, or at least as giving “in-kind” contributions to the DNC and Hillary? No?

Good!

This is all part of the liberal propaganda media. They coordinate with the comedy and news shows to create a unified message.

Need Daily show to go and those late night propaganda shows like Colbert to get the ax.

Wake up America! Don’t vote for programming that backs the DemonRats.

I have never seen his show but he was pretty good at the White House Correspondence dinner this last year.

I guess skits like “finding just one decent Republican” and calling the Republican Party the “Torture Party” didn’t generate the laughs or ratings that he hoped they would.

Maybe if the debate is "boxers or briefs: which is better?" he could make a case for himself. If it's a debate on anything of meaning, like say a presidential campaign, he's flat out delusional if he thinks he ever has a shot at that. Like stone cold nuts.

I have never seen a single episode. Am I better or worse for it?

I’d say far better, having seen one or two myself involuntarily.

Larry Wilmore is the “entertainer” at the White House correspondents dinner, who called Obama “my nigger”. His words, his exact words. Please do not censor this post, because that’s exactly what he said.

But it was ok, because apparently in Negro parlance, it’s ok to call a fellow black person a “nigger” in certain contexts.
