I'm sad to see this smart show go, but it's not entirely surprising, given the poor ratings. I wonder if this is just the beginning of a major overhaul for Comedy Central's late night platform, given that Trevor Noah is also struggling.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I love Trevor Noah. It would be such a great loss. Especially since he is the only African American late night host currently.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

You can thank your fellow men and women for not tuning in. He's not being "silenced" if there's no one watching/listening.

I couldn't disagree more. Noah is painfully unfunny, has terrible timing, and still comes off so awkward. The Nightly Show is an elegant and well-curated show that balances humor with serious issues.

I thought this was supposed to be a funny show. The one time I watched this show he was going on and on about how Europeans are the reason for most of the problems in the world. Of course I never turned it on again. Looks like a lot of other people felt same way.
