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?
We are huge fans of this show and look forward to it being picked up somewhere. Please?
I thoroughly enjoyed the show and hope that David and Co can get it shopped elsewhere. Maybe they could get picked up by HBO?
Show was not political but had it’s own take on daily happenings, it will be missed.
1 of the best shows on tv. Shocked that it was canceled!
I couldn’t believe it when I heard the show had been cancelled. I thought it was great, a nice change of pace! I even recommended it to friends.
I love the show and really think it is a great option for an audience that wants a different kind of talk show, sans all the politics. Plus, David Spade is just so sexy and hilarious!!
I loved that show. Especially the apolitical
position it took. It was clever and unique and gave many young performers an opportunity to be seen. Big mistake Comedy Central.
Love Spade’s humor, love his reports from the bunker and liked the show too. Shop it. Somebody put him back on TV.
“Being shopped” where?
Spade isn’t funny. He never was. Comedy Central should have stuck with “The Nightly Show” with Larry Wilmore. And they should pay Jon Stewart whatever it takes to take back The Daily Show.
Spades show won’t be renewed but the POS daily showed will be? Spade ratings were higher so that makes no sense
Spades showed gets dropped? But that POS daily showed gets renewed? Clearly they didn’t like the spade was getting the best ratings..
May it go to a better network that has sense to keep a popular show. Certain networks would not know a hit if a sledgehammer crushed them in the face…
My husband and I loved lights Out with David Spade.
We really enjoyed when he had one guest at a time like Adam Sandler , Jim Carrey ect.
Please find the show a new home .
Lights Out was my favorite late night show. They stayed away from politics which is very rare on late night shows. Hope some network picks it up
Bring Lights Out back! It is a brilliant show!
I’m so sad to hear this. I was a huge fan of the show, watched it every night. David Spade is hilarious! One of my favorite actors/comedians for sure 🙂
