Ziwe Canceled at Showtime


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

She should rebrand into doing just social media content. She doesn't need the gatekeeping of the stale, dying talk show format when she's so Gen Z as a package. She's hilarious and way better than the crusty old white male talk show hosts, but not cringe like Lily Singh. The show as a whole didn't play to her strengths as a comedian and cultural commentator. Her most viral moments came from shorter clips, that's where she shined. She can parlay what worked into YouTube/TikTok, it'll get way more views than any cable (lol) show.

thank goodness i didn't get the showtime subscription. 

it was the one show that attracted me to the idea 

despite there also being yellowjackets, homeland, 

and shameless :deadbanana4:

 

i hope whatever she does next builds on what works 

while ironing out the kinks. as much as i love ziwe, 

the person, the personality, and the show, stuff 

like her inviting charlamagne and chet hanks was

questionable to say the least :deadbanana4: especially 

considering how it gave image overhaul teas

despite intelligently clocking them for their 

weird behavior

you know what, good for her. she will probably strike while the iron is hot and get a really good deal somewhere else. apart form Yellowjackets she was the only socially relevant thing Showtime is currently producing.

there was no reason for this to be on TV. it's like when they tried to make Unhhhh into a 30 minute show.

She's hilarious and sarcastic. She made her mark. Onwards and upwards! :clap3:

absolutely not. her engaging in conversation was so interesting. why should she be stripped off that because the general public have an attention span issue?
