The following was said about the cancellation of the series, per Deadline:

“The Emmy award-nominated Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out The News pushed the boundaries of satirical news and disrupted the late-night landscape with its outspoken animated anchors. We are deeply grateful to Stephen Colbert, RJ Fried, the production team and the talented actors and animators for their unwavering partnership and dedication.”

As for Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God, the panel series features comedians and outspoken celebrities discussing problems and solutions related to the events of the week.  Executive-produced by host Charlamagne and Stephen Colbert, the show ends after two seasons.
