It is a performances centric movie

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The show got cancelled in Aug 2016 and that's a bloody shame.Just like The Daily and Colbert Report did The Nightly Show taught me a lot and without knowing it the show has changed my perspective on a few things, and I'm grateful for it.I love Stewart and Colbert but their clever, witty show styles can be and is copied now that big media realized its a cash cow (look at Full Frontal and The Democracy Handbook which I also love). But the Nightly has more soul and a great team that focused on race more than other shows and was a tad more serious and challenged the norm (like Wilmore's speech at the WHCD) which ultimately lead to its demise (which I believe is a very short-sighted decision by CC).I'm sure Yard, Albenese, Walker, Veles, Ramsey, Parra, Carlos, and Wilmore along with the Trump character and Felonious Munk will get jobs very easily after demonstrating the huge talent they are.

Larry Wilmore takes over the spot behind The Daily Show after Stephen Colbert leaves for his CBS late night talk show. Eight months after the debut, Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show and replaced by Trevor Noah. The show is canceled before two complete seasons.It's surprising that his show got Unblackening before the White House. It's not surprising that the show got canceled eventually. It started off badly. Honestly, I stopped watching after two episodes. I reconnected later on and appreciated its point of view. The Colbert Report is a tough show to replace. The Nightly Show is never going to measure up. I do like this more than Trevor Noah. Wilmore is not a natural performer and his monologue is not the best. His most notable performance may be calling the President n-word. It's the show's black-centric take that gives it its unique flavor.

I love this show...and the diversity of voices, panelists and perspectives; as well as the satirical perspective. Though many viewers want to compare with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report; Larry Wilmore's The Nightly Show stands on its own. By the way, I loved those aforementioned shows...but found them sparkling...but not laugh out loud funny.....The Nightly Show continues in the same vein. Larry Wilmore has an enviable television resume as a writer and producer. This program definitely has a audience that is not interested or impressed by solely A list celebrity who appear only to promote their new projects. I do wish the show would bring back the 'Keeping It 100' segment.

Larry Wilmore is a hypocrite. He's a smug, rich, prejudiced man who pretends he cares about the struggles of middle class America. He barely even looks like a black man and I guarantee he lives in a fancy house in white suburbia and crosses the street on the rare occasion that he's in the same vicinity as an actual black man. He's a massive hypocrite. Just watch how excited he gets whenever there's an opportunity to mock a white person or republican. Or how he threw around the word "tranny" immediately after being told it's offensive, only to refer to "the n-word" in the same sentence. You want people to respect your feelings, Larry? How about you respect them, you f*cking hypocritical phony? I can't wait until this show is canceled, purely out of my disgust for this man.
