The fourth season order of “@midnight” is a 40-week run that will air throughout 2017.

possibilities January 28, 2017 Share January 28, 2017 Hardwick was on James Corden's Late Late Show recently. I forget what day it was (I'm in a blur of insomnia where the days and nights run into each other). Corden had done a montage of Hardwick saying "balls" on "The Wall" so they talked about that for a while. There was also some wedding conversation. Nothing newsworthy, just what to me seemed like a very random late night appearance. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3806-midnight-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-2940335
trow125 April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 Quote Continuing in Comedy Central’s grand tradition of producing groundbreaking late night formats, comes The President Show. Just like a certain chief executive in Washington, The President Show gleefully tosses out the rulebook of its predecessors. Created by Anthony Atamanuik who hosts as Donald J. Trump, and produced by Clone Wolf Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment, this weekly, topical series will air on Thursdays following The Daily Show with Trevor Noah beginning Thursday, April 27 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT. In case you're wondering, as I was: "@midnight, which relocated from midnight to 11:30 PM Monday through Thursday following the cancellation of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, will move back to midnight on Thursday while remaining at 11:30 PM Monday – Wednesday." 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3806-midnight-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-3145072

possibilities July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 I think Trevor has been doing an increasingly good job at TDS, but I never really went to @midnight for my topical news-humor fix. It was more my go-to for silly word games. I thought they were a much better show when they moved to 11:30 and cut back on the % of dick jokes and started doing other kinds of jokes, but I also think that Hardwick is raking in the dough hosting game shows in prime time, and I can't imagine @midnight pays nearly as much as that. What's interesting to me is that they didn't try to find a new host instead of cancelling it. I guess they think they can get more eyeballs for less money putting South Park reruns on, instead?

LADreamr July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 I wouldn't want a different host. Chris's intelligence, energy, and variety of interests bring a specialness to the show that another comedian just spouting dick jokes wouldn't.

(I tend to read a lot of news coverage during the day, and I regularly watch Sam Bee & John Oliver, so it's not like I have my head in the sand... I know what's going on in the world.)
