Comedy Central Cancels Larry Wilmore’s ‘Nightly Show’

With so few women and people of color in late night, it's a shame to see one of them get the ax. But I tried to watch "The Nightly Show" on several occasions and it was just unbearable. Some people are wonderful in an ensemble but not cut out for the lead role. Larry Wilmore seems like a perfect example of this.

'Broad' Reaction

Anybody check "Broad City" out yet? Never saw it when it was a web series, but have seen a few episodes since it moved to Comedy Central. It's weird -- it's one of the most consistently uneven things I've ever seen. One scene I will be howling, think it's the best thing ever. Then the next scene I will be shocked at how appallingly unfunny it is.\ 

"Broad City," created by UCB alums Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer and produced by Amy Poehler, is an odd-couple comedy about two best friends navigating their twenties in New York City. Abbi and Ilana are broke and flawed, and they don’t shy away from the sticky situations NYC throws at them -- they dive right into the muck. But no matter how bad it gets, these young broads are always down with whatever hits them.
