Yeah I just saw this very disappointed

Just saw notice of the cancellation. I quit watching several months ago (the same time I quit the Daily Show; John Oliver is the only one of those types of shows I watch now). I really liked Larry, but as soon as he brought the other cast members to the panel, the episode just died. They were neither funny nor thought provoking, and I couldn't be bother to tune in just for ten minutes.

I've only watched clips of Samantha Bee's show, but it's been observed that the two best comedy-news hosts on American tv now are non-American—a Limey and a Canuck.

Yeah, nothing a white audience likes better than an outraged black guy yelling at them on TV

I used to say, and not without some cause, that if I were black, I'd probably be more or less exactly like Nat X.

My buddy and I SWEAR that we saw her at 3am at a grocery store in Charleston in 1995. But we might just have been dumb white college students.
