"Larry has a distinct voice and point of view, which we felt was important to be part of the election conversation," said Dan Shear, EVP Comedy Development, Peacock. "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." (Deadline.com)
YOUNG SHELDON (CBS) - Filming on the series was suspended for today "after a COVID-19 test for a production team member came back positive." Producers are currently evaluating when to resume shooting next week. (Deadline.com)
