His Larry Wilmore show was so good and smart, I was so disappointed when it was cancelled.

Larry, so sorry for your loss. I'm looking forward to the Jerry and Marge Go Large movie.

[MisterRickSinister]

WILMORE IS MY HERO ... I LOVE YOUR PODCAST LARRY

[gratefulone]

I wish those that interview him would bring up at least some of his past (producing/writing) resume. He's been around for so many years and has lended his name to many projects.

(sorry, I happen to be a reader and have seen his name on numerous credits)

“Well it’s my name, it’s not a test.”

I didn't know about his affiliation with Bernie Mac Show. That man was taken from us all too soon.

[charlottestewart]

I adore Larry Wilmore, despite his very disrespectful comment to President Obama, and can't wait to enjoy him in this! Loving Annette Benning is a bonus!!

The Bernie Mac days. Good stuff. Was cut off to fast in my opinion.

[mitcharett]

Yeah, his Nightly show was great, with him and Robin Thede, the beautiful, hilarious host of The Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO. Lots of talent on the old Nightly Show. What a loss.☹️

[OddOneOut]

Imagine if Jimmy did the Best Friends Challenge with Larry instead...

[janelliot]

I remember his political talk show. It was just too good to last

[Cletus_the_Elder]

I hope Comedy Central has the good sense to have Larry Wilmore come back to host the Daily Show, now that the very unfunny Trevor Noah is moving on.

Larry Wilmore was to intelligent of a black man. He didnt fit Hollywood's stereotype
