Larry Wilmore’s Booze-Fueled Penultimate Episode

Since the announcement on Monday that The Nightly Show was getting cancelled at the end of the week, Larry Wilmore has had full-blown senioritis. During his penultimate episode Wednesday night, Larry discussed getting a little drunk during his antepenultimate episode Tuesday night. Larry showed a picture of himself from Tuesday night surrounded by boxes of wine bottles that were sent to him and his staff from his old Daily Show buddy, Samantha Bee. Wednesday night, the Nightly Show host admitted to getting a tad drunk the night before and being hungover. So Larry said he wasn’t planning on drinking again, but then he got a delivery from another Daily Show alum and late night talk show host, Stephen Colbert. Larry showed another picture of himself standing next to a table with dozens of mini bottles of alcohol in, what looked like, the shape of Larry’s face. Since it would be rude not to consume the alcohol his friend sent to him, Larry poured himself a cocktail and continued on with his penultimate show. Wilmore then made sure to secure himself some drinks for his final episode by saying, “You better step up rest of late night, daddy needs some more juice, okay? I’m looking at you Last Week Tonight.”
