Former Paramount+ Original 'Tooning Out The News' Canceled At Comedy Central After 3 Seasons

Posted by on


Well, it's been a hell of a week to tune out the toons in the news, it seems. Comedy Central has canceled two of its late-night series, both in that 11:30 slot following The Daily Show: Tooning Out the News, the former Paramount+ original born on CBS All Access, and the talk show Hell of a Week With Charlamagne tha God.

Tooning Out the News featured a cast of animated news anchors and reporters, led by anchor James Smartwood, mocking news of the day, and interviewing real-world guests and newsmakers. When it premiered on CBS All Access in April 2020, it was in an every-weekday daily short format that churned out nearly 200 episodes, lasting into season 2, by which point the rebrand to Paramount+ happened. In October 2021 it made the change to a standard weekly 22-minute episode format, which lasted for the rest of the series, which moved to Comedy Central for its third and now final season, airing Wednesdays. The series was nominated for two Emmys, a WGA, a Critics Choice Award and a PGA during its run. It aired its last episode on May 17, capping at 258. It leaves Star Trek Discovery as the last active CBS All Access series and will hold that status until it ends next year.

Hell of a Week With Charlamagne tha God was a late-night talk show co-created and hosted by Lenard "Charlamagne tha God" McKelvey. It was a solo effort in front of the camera for its first season when it was known as Tha God's Honest Truth before it was rebranded under its final title for the second season and transformed into more of a panel format. It featured an array of influential guests, unlikely pairings of comedians, outspoken celebrities, and "thought-leaders across the political spectrum", debating the current events permeating politics and culture with guests discussing the most talked about topics with an unfiltered Charlamagne. Its two seasons ran on Thursdays for 18 episodes, with the second and final season finishing in December.

The moves also reduce the presence of former Daily Show correspondent and Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert, now the host of CBS's The Late Show, who was a creator and executive producer on both now-canceled series. The former was even often titled Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News. As of writing, none of Tooning Out the News is streaming on Paramount+, but the entire second season of Hell of A Week is.
