NEW YORK >> Larry Wilmore says the cancellation of his late night Comedy Central talk show was like being in a relationship, but “you were the one who didn’t know it was over.”
Wilmore told Stephen Colbert on CBS’ “Late Show” Thursday that he’s “very disappointed” in Comedy Central’s decision last month to abruptly end the “Nightly Show” because he thought the program would last through the November presidential election.
Wilmore adds that he’s “very proud for the work that we did” and he’s hopeful he “can do something like that again sometime.”
Wilmore replaced Colbert on Comedy Central after “The Colbert Report” ended in 2014 ahead of his move to CBS last year.
