Graham Norton not returning to Comedy Central?
Reuters.com: "With [The Daily Show] running hot, sources say Comedy Central is eager to find a more fitting companion piece for the series. Although rookie series "Crossballs" and "The Graham Norton Effect" both had recent test runs at 11:30 p.m., neither will likely inherit the time slot or even get a second season because of poor ratings."
The 10:30 PM (CT) program was a half-hour mixdown of Norton's full one-hour show, and therefore was only reruns - it had all appeared before on the full Thursday-night program and therefore didn't interest me. The original program, though, was uproarious fun, the kind of stuff you think they wouldn't allow on television and yet there it was.
I hope it's only the mixdown that may not come back, and that the full hour gets at least one more season. It was fabulous.
