Larry Wilmore ’s The Nightly Show has been picked up by Comedy Central through the end of 2016. That’s good news, given that he now competes against Comedy Central’s former star of Wilmore’s berth, Stephen Colbert. Even before Colbert debuted, Wilmore’s show had taken a ratings tumble after Jon Stewart vacated The Daily Show in early August.  Comedy Central moved Wilmore’s lead-out, @midnight , to 11 PM so as to become his lead-in, starting September 8 – same night Colbert debuted as David Letterman’s replacement on CBS’s The Late Show. Wilmore revealed the pickup to his studio audience Monday during the audience warm-up Q&A period. Comedy Central today confirmed the pickup reported by CNN.  The new order extends the show’s life through the end of  ’16. It’s not much of a surprise, given that Comedy Central has its hands full introducing Trevor Noah as Jon Stewart’s replacement on Wilmore’s lead-in show. Noah debuts September 28. After Wilmore revealed to his … [Read more...] about Larry Wilmore’s ‘The Nightly Show’ Picked Up Through 2016 By Comedy Central

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains details from the Season 2 finale of HBO Max’s Gossip Girl . It was never supposed to end this way. HBO Max ‘s Gossip Girl took its final bow on Thursday as the Season 2 finale hit the streamer. Since news of the show’s cancellation broke last week, the episode now also serves as a series finale. Showrunner Josh Safran told Deadline that he’s holding on to a glimmer of hope that the series might land at a new home, but he’s had an inkling for months that this might happen, considering the growing number of streaming cancellations and Gossip Girl ‘s hefty price tag. “I asked HBO Max if I actually could go back in [to the episode]. I had the idea to take some of the cliffhangers out, because there were a lot of cliffhangers,” Safran said. “We got the editorial team back together.

We’re right in the thick of summer now, with rising temperatures and sweltering days accompanying that strange, almost timeless, period of the year in which the only thing that matters is the pursuit of a good time.
