I was also a fan of @midnight and I’m even a fan of Chris Hardwick. I liked @midnight for the same reason I liked Lights Out With David Spade. It gave me a chance to see a bunch of new comedians. Hardwick’s company helped produce @midnight. It was part of his empire that included his podcast and Nerdmelt. I wonder if he couldn’t do that at CBS.
