AMC has cancalled Talking with Chris Hardwick after one season, pulling the upcoming second season from the schedule.
The decision comes amid allegations of abuse against the titular host.
In a statement, the network said:
“We have had a positive working relationship with Chris Hardwick for many years. We take the troubling allegations that surfaced yesterday very seriously. While we assess the situation, Talking with Chris Hardwick will not air on AMC, and Chris has decided to step aside from moderating planned AMC and BBC America panels at Comic-Con International in San Diego next month.”
RIP.

The good old America way, guilty until innocent. Bs pc crap how about we wait till it’s been proved before we hand out punishment.

Being accused by a person should not cause a show to be canceled or host to be fired. What happened to someone having their day in court? Being proven guilty first? There are plenty of vindictive, jealous people out there trying to ruin someone. PC is a cancer on our society.

Why don’t you go all the way you chicken S****, and cancel his many “Talking” shows. You know why you don’t? Because they are highly rated programs. I and others I know who watch them will quit tuning in if you try & add another host. That’s why you don’t have the guts to cancel them outright!!!
