“The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” was recently canceled by Comedy Central, but we are rather pleased to see that the show’s host is not off the late-night map. At the start of tonight’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” you can see Wilmore make a brief cameo as he comes out in order to […]
“The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” may be ending on Comedy Central tonight, but the show is making sure at least that it goes out with a bang. Today, the show announced on Twitter that former “The Daily Show” host with Jon Stewart is going to be one of his final guests. In a funny […]
It’s true: The past seven days have been tricky for Larry Wilmore. Or bittersweet. Really, pick your attitude. He still can celebrate the fact that he actually hosted a show in late-night television, and brought a voice that is often still and silent to the spot. He did meaningful segments, and ones that alternated between […]
“The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” unfortunately does not have many nights left. In a surprising announcement on Monday, the New York Times reports that Comedy Central has canceled the late-night show, and that Thursday will mark its final episode on the air.

There are two hosting gigs on television that we consider to be the most challenging of them all: The Academy Awards, and then also the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Comedy Central is bringing back the show for a second season, which keeps it on the roster until […]
While we are a big-time Larry Wilmore fan, we’ve worried for some time that his new Comedy Central series was not going to be the smash hit that “The Colbert Report” was with most Americans. After all, Wilmore is a little more low-key, and he doesn’t seem to be playing the same over-the-top character who […]
Will “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” become a cultural institution? Don’t pick up your party hats just yet. This is not “The Colbert Report,” and we have a feeling it will never be. Wilmore is not out to coin crazy phrases or form a Super PAC on his show. He also seems to be […]
Tonight, Comedy Central is making what is for them a pretty big leap in late-night, handing the reigns of their 11:30 p.m. Eastern timeslot over to a man in Larry Wilmore who is, despite his extensive experience in comedy writing and performing, a relative newcomer as the face of the show.
