“@MIDNIGHT WITH CHRIS HARDWICK” MAKES A (TEMPORARY) MOVE! SERIES MOVES TO 11:00 P.M. ET/PT SEP 8-17

It’s a time warp! On Tuesday, September 8, Comedy Central’s Emmy®-nominated “@midnight with Chris Hardwick” moves to 11:00 p.m. ET/PT, followed by all-new episodes of “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.” The series returns to its regular slot of Midnight ET/PT on Monday, September 21, following “The Nightly Show.”

Recently nominated for an Emmy® for “Outstanding Interactive Program” for the second year in a row, “@midnight with Chris Hardwick,” produced by Funny Or Die, leads viewers down the ultimate internet wormhole with a rotating lineup of today’s top comedians battling nightly to determine who has the funniest take on the day’s social media and pop culture. Using social media as the catalyst and a fake game show as the setting, “@midnight” challenges comedians to win the Internet by slashing the craziest, most absurd news and posts that social media has to offer: from the latest celebrity Instagram shots to the creepiest Craigslist posting to Buzzspeed lists and infamous #HashtagWars.
