Last night was the final episode of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. Unfortunately, that marks far too short of a run for the series, especially in the heat of an election year. 

In their final half hour of air time, Jon Stewart paid a visit and offer some beautiful, sincere words of encouragement (including a mention of what David Letterman told him when he faced cancellation). After that, Larry Wilmore explained why the map on their set looks like it’s upside down and detailed the mission statement of The Nightly Show, which should be a goal for the rest of late night going forward.
