Larry Wilmore says goodbye to his Wilmore Peacock talk show

Deadline

Wilmore's final episode of his weekly talk show is unlikely to be his last appearance on Peacock, though it was designed to run for only 11 episodes, from before through after the election. Wilmore is in the midst of a four-year overall deal with Universal Television. “Larry has a distinct voice and point of view, which we felt was important to be part of the election conversation,” said Peacock's comedy boss Dan Shear. “From its conception, we designed Wilmore as a limited, late-night special series that would run for 10 weeks before the election and conclude once all the votes were counted. Beyond the election, we look forward to continue collaborating with Larry on more projects to bring his perspective on culture, politics and comedy to Peacock.”
