iMonrey July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 I was hoping Chris would address the ending of the show but apparently this week was taped in advance because he's at Comic Con this week. I look forward to his return next week and hearing how he spins it. Quote Wouldn't he still be making money if he owns the show then? What I mean is that it wasn't so much about Hardwick as it was about the show itself. He's the executive producer in addition to being the host. (He doesn't seem to have any stake in Funny or Die after all, now that I look a little deeper). There's a lot of CC executive blather about "we're so excited about developing Jordan Klepper's show blah blah blah" that I think it did in fact mean tossing @midnight aside. Apparently @midnight got a nice ratings bump when it moved to 11:30, so moving it back to 12:00 likely means losing viewers. In that respect, it did come down to Jordan Klepper's new show vs. @midnight. I can see from a semantic stand-point how it could be considered a "mutual decision" between Hardwick and CC, if they took him aside and said "Look, we're moving the show back to 12:00 which means the ratings will probably drop back down to what they were before and we're giving Jordan Klepper the 11:30 spot instead of letting you keep it. You still want to go forward?" In which case Hardwick probably said "I guess not" because he does have a full enough plate with his other shows now. But that's splitting hairs. They kind of forced his hand, it seems to me. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1994-midnight-general-discussion/page/27/#findComment-3475083
