A Year After Larry Wilmore, Comedy Central Sets Sights on Late-Night Stability

A Year After Larry Wilmore, Comedy Central Sets Sights on Late-Night Stability

Network president Kent Alterman also looks to reboot ‘@midnight’ — possibly with a new host.

A year after stunning industry observers with the abrupt cancellation of The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore, Comedy Central is starting to find its late-night footing.

The Viacom-owned cable network recently saw late-night staple The Daily Show wrap its most-watched quarter since Trevor Noah took over as host (1.5 million total viewers, up 2 percent from the first quarter and an impressive 26 percent year-over-year). And rookie weekly series The President Show — featuring Anthony Atamanuik hosting as President Donald J. Trump — has helped improve Comedy Central’s footing in Wilmore’s former 11:30 p.m. slot by 17 percent among the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic since its April 27 premiere. (When factoring in total viewers, The President Show is up 140 percent vs. a year ago.)

And, following a yearlong process that included searching for talent and developing new projects, come Sept. 25, Comedy Central will have a daily strip series to take over the 11:30 slot full-time in The Opposition With Jordan Klepper launching out of The Daily Show, with Noah producing both shows.

That will lead in to additional episodes of The President Show starting Thursday, Sept. 28, in its new slot at midnight as the cabler firms up its late-night block. The new lineup was nearly a year in the making and comes after Comedy Central president Kent Alterman made the difficult decision to cancel Wilmore’s Nightly Show after 250-plus episodes. The series averaged a 0.2 in the 18-49 demo, making an additional episode order hard to justify.

Alterman notes that since then, he’s been exploring everything from keeping Chris Hardwick’s recently canceled @midnight at 11:30 p.m. to developing new projects. The executive, who took over for Michele Ganeless in May 2016, tells The Hollywood Reporter that Klepper emerged as a distinct possibility last summer.

“Maybe @midnight might have become more political or had a more organic fit with The Daily Show as far as the audience was concerned,” Alterman says. “At a certain point, Jordan emerged as such a potent voice on The Daily Show, especially last summer through the presidential campaign and on through the election. Trevor was a big supporter of fostering Jordan taking over 11:30.”

Klepper, who met the press Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, said his show will satirize both the left and the right during the country’s current divisive political climate. The series will be more of an homage to The Colbert Report than The Nightly Show as Klepper plays a character a la Stephen Colbert.

“We wanted to have a show that felt integrated and simpatico with The Daily Show, and there couldn’t be any more organic an expression of that than to have someone like Jordan host,” Alterman says.

Meanwhile, The President Show — which added seven additional episodes to its run — will solidify the lineup when it returns in its new midnight time slot to launch after The Opposition. Alterman hopes to keep The President Show as a weekly series, though he wouldn’t rule out turning it into a strip, too. Also not out of the question is reviving @midnight — potentially without Hardwick as its host.

To hear the exec tell it, the decision to wrap @midnight after 600 episodes stemmed from a conversation he had with Hardwick. The discussion included potentially relocating the show back to its pre-Nightly Show cancellation home at midnight.

“We never were looking to penalize the show, but at a certain point, the ratings were sliding a bit as The Daily Show’s ratings were growing,” Alterman says. “We had a very organic conversation about what would make the most sense; if we commit to a political show like Jordan Klepper at 11:30, should we keep going and move it back to midnight? We collectively came to the point of realizing that there’s no shame in walking away after 600 episodes. … We don’t rule out that we could bring @midnight back. We are having creative conversations about what would we do with this show if we wanted to reinvent it with the creative team. We have put a pin in it, but could be with Chris, I don’t know that he’d necessarily host it; he feels like he’s done, but I don’t want to speak for him. There’s no guarantees, but we’re open to exploring if there is a 2.0 version of it.”

Alterman has also found success on the front side of The Daily Show with The Jim Jefferies Show at 10:30 p.m., with the latter scoring an additional episode order as well, as Comedy Central looks to evolve the definition of late-night from strip shows into weekly fare a la The President Show and the Jefferies starrer.

“I hope that Jordan is a big success,” Alterman says. “We’re so robust in late-night right now with two strip shows and two weekly shows — God forbid those are all successful, that would be a great place to be. And we’ll take it from there.”

Emmylou Harris Performs 'At the Ryman' Album 25 Years Later

New Post has been published on https://factpatrol.com/2017/05/04/emmylou-harris-performs-at-the-ryman-album-25-years-later/

Emmylou Harris Performs 'At the Ryman' Album 25 Years Later

Twenty-six years after her three-night stint onstage at Nashville’s dark and dilapidated Ryman Auditorium helped spearhead efforts to refurbish the century-old former home of the Grand Ole Opry, Emmylou Harris and her acoustic band, the Nash Ramblers, returned to the Ryman for a sold-out show Tuesday night. Harris, now 70, and the Ryman, celebrating 125 years of live entertainment, proved they both remain vibrant and vital elements in Nashville‘s rich musical history.

Backed by mandolin and fiddle player Sam Bush, with Jon Randall on guitar, Al Perkins on Dobro and Larry Atamanuik on drums – just as she had been for the Grammy-winning At the Ryman album, released in January 1992, nine days before she became an official member of the Opry – Harris and her bandmates re-created that mesmerizing 1992 concert. However, they did so missing one original member: bassist Roy Huskey Jr., who died in 1997. A photo of Huskey was placed on stage in tribute to the late musician, with veteran player Byron House taking his spot for the 90-minute show, which will air as a PBS special in August.

The set list consisted of all the songs from the At the Ryman LP, played in the same order as they originally appeared on record, with the exception of “Song for Roy,” Bush’s touching 1998 tribute to Huskey, which also featured Harris, Randall and House on the original. Kicking off with a vigorous rendition of Steve Earle’s “GuitarTown,” Harris showed relatively few signs of the years between the historic Ryman appearances, save for her now snow-white hair, which was merely graying a quarter-century ago. Her voice remains a distinctive marvel whether delivering vintage material from songwriters Jack Clement (“Guess Things Happen That Way”), Boudleaux Bryant (“Like Strangers”), Western-themed tunes (“Cattle Call,” “Montana Cowgirl”) or bluegrass classics such the instrumental “Scotland,” by the late Bill Monroe, with whom Harris buck-danced onstage in 1991. Other highlights of the night included the chillingly beautiful a cappella “Calling My Children Home.”

The more contemporary material she chose 25 years ago remains as powerful years later, especially Bruce Springsteen’s stark “Mansion on the Hill,” and the politically charged Nanci Griffith-penned “It’s a Hard Life Wherever You Go,” performed in a medley with Dion’s still-trenchant 1968 tune “Abraham, Martin and John.” Following the PBS-filmed portion of the evening, Harris and band performed a pair of additional songs. The first was Buddy and Julie Miller’s “The River’s Gonna Run,” which spotlighted Bush, whom Harris noted is the “King of Telluride,”a reference to his many performances at that Colorado bluegrass festival. Harris closed the show with her own composition, the wistful “Boulder to Birmingham,” written in the early Seventies after the death of her musical partner, Gram Parsons.

The At the Ryman anniversary is being celebrated with the vinyl release of the original LP, and the 125th anniversary of the Ryman Auditorium will be marked by special events throughout the year. Tours of the Ryman are available daily and include a filmed presentation of the Ryman’s remarkable history featuring vintage and contemporary clips as well as images of the iconic show posters that have been a trademark of the venue’s history.

"I was just completely—I shouldn't say surprised, because it was such a great band," Emmylou Harris tells the Tennessean of unearthing her 1990 concert with the Nash Ramblers on the new album Ramble in Music City: The Lost Concert. "I remembered how good they were, but to actually hear it all in a long concert like that and hear those guys playing so beautifully, it was a trip down memory lane. And a really good one."

Now, there are almost no details about this so-called President Show with Donald Trump other than two twitter accounts, @presidentshow and @latenightdonald, and a press release that reads “Late night TV is broken. A TOTAL DISASTER. I alone can fix it!”

However, there being a slot where The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore used to be and Anthony Atamanuik’s fantastic appearances as Trump on @midnight lead us to believe that this would indeed be a mutation of the late night talk show format on Comedy Central with the one and only Donald Trump, as played by Atamanuik, at the helm. 

In our opinion, Anthony Atamanuik has the best Trump impression out there. Between a series on Fusion, countless live shows, a nationwide tour, album, and more, Anthony knows how to skewer Trump by exemplifying his characteristics to a capital gold T.

So, if this indeed what we think it is, we’re all in for a wonderful treat that we’re guessing will start a Twitter feud between @realdonaldtrump and @latenightdonald.

Comedy Central's 'Midnight' to End After Four Seasons

http://styleveryday.com/2017/07/19/comedy-centrals-midnight-to-end-after-four-seasons/

Comedy Central's 'Midnight' to End After Four Seasons

Chris Hardwick’s Comedy Central game show will air its finale on Aug. 4.

Chris Hardwick’s Comedy Central game show, @midnight, will come to an end after 600 episodes on the network, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

“Comedy Central and Chris Hardwick have mutually agreed the August 4th episode of @midnight will be the series finale,” the network said in a statement. “We thank Chris, [executive producers] Tom Lennon, Ben Garant, and our partners at Funny Or Die, Serious Business and Brillstein Entertainment Partners for an incredible four seasons and 600 episodes of one of the best showcases for comedians on TV.”

Launched in 2013, @midnight quickly became a late-night staple for Comedy Central as the Viacom-owned cable channel saw its late-night lineup undergo several major changes, most notably the end of The Colbert Report in 2014, Jon Stewart’s departure from The Daily Show in 2015 and, most recently, the cancelation of Larry Wilmore’s The Nightly Show in August.

The network is next getting ready to launch Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper’s show this fall following Trevor Noah’s Daily Show. Earlier this year, Comedy Central has also launched the weekly late-night offering The President Show, which features impersonator and comedian Anthony Atamanuik in character as President Donald Trump.

In the years since @midnight‘s launch, Hardwick has also seen his profile grow. His other hosting gigs include AMC’s Talking Dead (as well as other offshoots such as Talking Saul and Talking Preacher) and the recently launched Talking with Chris Hardwick. He also hosts NBC’s game show The Wall from exec producer LeBron James. Hardwick is also partnering with NBC on a second alternative show, The Awesome Show.

“@midnight has meant the world to me these last four years. It has been a dream to come to work 600 times to make inappropriate jokes about the Internet with my fellow comedian friends. I could not be more proud of this show, staff and crew and at the end of the day, I think we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish. Spiritually it just feels like it ran its course — I’m not sure we had many more hashtag games in us (which may actually be a relief to anyone whose twitter feed gets overrun every night),” he said in a statement.

“I owe such a huge debt of gratitude to Comedy Central and [president] Kent [Alterman] for taking a chance on the show, always being great partners and allowing us to exit mutually, which is rarely a gift you are given in this business. I will certainly miss awarding POINTS! to people nightly, so please understand if you see me randomly shouting it at strangers in public after August 4th.”

The change at Comedy Central comes in the midst of a bigger shakeup among Viacom’s cable portfolio. In February, the company outlined a new plan that would focus on six core brands including MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Spike (soon to be Paramount Network) and Comedy Central. 

In addition to @midnight, Funny Or Die’s original series slate includes The Gorburger Show and Drunk History on Comedy Central, as well as tru TV’s Billy on the Street, IFC’s Brockmire, Fusion’s The Chris Gethard Show and TV Land’s Throwing Shade.
