The lights are going out on Lights Out with David Spade. Comedy Central has cancelled the late night talk show, but it is trying to find a new home for the series. The Spade series went into production shutdown last month, and it will not return to Comedy Central, per Variety.
The report revealed that “the move comes as Comedy Central has experienced both a massive influx in viewers and disruption to its programming pipeline amid the pandemic.”
Several of their programs, including The Daily Show, went off the air due to the pandemic, but some have returned. David Spade’s show was not one of the lucky ones. The series’ first season was set to air episodes through June.
What do you think? Did you watch this late night show? Do you want it to find a new home?
very disappointed. hope david and crew find another home soon…
Very sad, I loved this show. I thought David was great. Real funny stuff.
I looked forward to David Spade and his dry sense of humor, along with all the great comedians that were on. So disappointed in Comedy Central. I hope that this show gets picked up somewhere else. I will be there! Thanks for not being like every other show out there
Very sad. Spade is the best. I hope the show gets picked up by another network.
Lights out is one of the best new talk shows to hit the airwaves. Comedy Central you suck! Bad move all round canceling Spade. Can’t wait for lights out to come back on whatever network picks it up.
Yes without all the extra garbage that talk show host throw into their mind numbing ventures.
Stupid move. Lights Out was the fresh take on late night that was sorely needed. The choice to avoid politics made for a show that was funny from beginning to end and allowed Spade and his guests to riff on the inanity of current culture as if we were all sitting in the same room together having a drink and a laugh. I’ll never understand why CC keeps canning excellent shows (Jim Jefferies, Nikki Glaser, Jordan Klepper, etc.) and instead keeps showing the god-awful Office and the great-but-beat-to-death South Park. Please stop.
What are they thinking? That looks like the easiest show to produce and the jokes and guests are great. 10x as funny as the Daily Show and doesn’t have the incessant one sided politics that is unbearable.
Great show!!
My fave late night show
Biggest mistake this channel has ever made. Big. It’s all everyone talks about. I hope he is picked up ASAP by someone as we look forward to it every night and CC can lick their wounds when they see the mistake they’ve made. I don’t know who made this decision but they should be released from their position. You’ve lost our business for sure.
Unreal extremely refreshing show
Best comedy show out there…we NEED this to resurface somewhere else!
Another reason I’m not sad to see tv dying a slow death… just do a podcast spade then you can keep the money.. Comedy Central sucks
Please find a home for this show- seriously need this in my life, funniest comedian out there. Smart, hilarious, relevant, all needed right now!!
Devastated. Come on man, don’t do this to us. Best comedy/late night show on TV.
