“The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore” will call it a day after Thursday’s episode. Comedy Central has canceled the half-hour series that replaced “The Colbert Report” on Jan. 19, 2015, making…
The RCA Tri – Color Vidicon Camera: 1953 Although RCA poured millions into this experimental project from ’53 till ’55, in the end they had to let it go. It worked, but not as well as they had hoped. Here are the details on the Tri – Color Vidicon. This is a single tube capable […]
You would think RCA lead the way in this area, but they were more focused on studio color cameras in the late 60s as the TK42/43 project had gone badly and Norelco was eating their lunch. Now, this is not to say that there were not some RCA/NBC experimental color portables in use, but they […]
September 27, 1954…”Tonight” Debuts On NBC Below is a rare NBC operations log from October 4, 1954. This log is from one week after the debut, and reveals the origin of “the first 15 minutes”, which confounded both Jack Paar and Johnny Carson until January of 1967, when Carson demanded an 11:30 start time.

My wife and I watch this every night, but I am way passed the “target demo.” It’s the freshest, sharpest, funniest political show on TV. Mike Yard is a gem. I will miss this show. I wish they could have let it stay on until after the election.
Damn
Too bad! This show is great
Wilmore is really good. I hope he finds another show to display his talents. I know he won’t be hurting for work behind the scenes, but he does have a distinctive voice. Face it, it was very disruptive at Comedy Central to lose legends Stewart and Colbert at the same time. And, as much as I like Trevor, I’ll bet he’s attracting millennials but the older audience has moved on.
Never heard of it.
Good. More need to go.
It’s been a very good show, I thought. Could Wilmore’s decidedly mixed reception at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner back in April have damaged the brand?
He could wind up on HBO back to back with Bill Maher.
Good riddance
Not a surprise, I wasn’t watching it, I barely have time for the Daily Show now or Late Nite with Stephane Colbert.
A good show, but this isn’t at all surprising. What is surprising to me is that Comedy Central restated its faith in Jon Stewart’s successor at “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah, when he’s probably been the larger disappointment.

Whaaaat?
Never watched it so won’t miss it. Had the sense I wouldn’t care for it anyway.
