Bye, Bye! Comedy Central Cancels Larry Wilmore’s ‘The Nightly Show’
NewsBusters ^ | Curtis Houck

Posted on 08/15/2016 8:52:51 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

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.”

Trevor Noah is simply awful and totally unfunny. At least Stewart was occasionally humorous. Noah is there for one reason, to keep the college students indoctrinated and dumbed down.

It’s not just them that forget that they are fellow Americans.

Because he probably isn’t “African-American”, he has just become an AMERICAN! Just an FYI, ALL of the people who I know are naturalized Americans, HATE that hyphenated crap!

If you ask them, they are “Americans” and if you push it, they will say “Naturalized American.” Very seldom, if EVER will they say “Egyptian-American” or “African-American” or “Filipino-American”, etc... They are “Americans”.

Those people came here to actually work for, and enjoy, what America has to offer. They seldom have the time or temperament to complain about what America hasn’t GIVEN to them!

The daily show needs to go too.

Along with Samantha Bee and John Oliver.

Maybe CC could have tried a show that mocked both sides?

Like why would you just purposely P-off people when you could be getting ratings?

That’s good, but it doesn’t have anything to do with Trevor or what he’s here in this country for.

I agree. south park and nothing else. That ‘Bee’ bitch? She can go ride a train to hell. Just a fatish ass Canadian a$$hole that thinks she’s ‘edgy’ and funny.

Gee. I guess expecting people to laugh at yet another preening ass telling them “conservatives are stupid and ignorant” over and over and over didn’t work so well. What a surprise.

With any luck the network lost a nice bundle on this cretin.

I certainly hope so. The only thing I watch now is South Park and Futurama sometimes.

I watched that Samantha Bee show the other night for exactly 2 minutes. Not only was she not funny, but she lied and was not funny. Basically, she called the republican convention and abortion and said the rat convention was a testament to our patriotism. I am yelling at the TV, “What about the F*ing flags?”

My wife told me to leave the room.

I have no idea, really, but HE is not here in this country for the same reason as your wound nurse.

For comparison, Michael Moore and Donald Trump are from the same country, does one’s origin validate or reinforce the other’s?

Frankly, I’ve never gotten beyond the quick promos they hawk for that b!tch. There is no way in cowboy hell I’d watch that b!tch for reals. She’s just a pork but Canadian writer married to some eunuch comic writer and they are supposedly “Americans” now. She can’t even find a pair of pants that don’t look like Spanx.

There's another show on TBS that that is created by her and somewhat based on her married-with-kids kids life called The Detour. TBS is really a 'rat propaganda channel with shows like Samantha Bee, American Dad and Conan "Not Funny" O'Brien.

I really don’t watch either of them. I don’t need some Canadian b!tch here in my country to make fun of it, frankly. She just flat a$$# don’t need to be here.
