Comedy Central is the latest cabler to take a look at their current slate of shows, and decide to cancel some. Unfortunately, Derek Waters‘ “Drunk History” is one of the casualties, as the series will end at season 6.
And today, “Tosh.0″ also got the axe. Season 12 is still scheduled to premiere in September, with the series finale set for November 24th, 2020. Back in January, Comedy Central had renewed “Tosh.0” for 4 seasons, with a 10-episode count for each. Clearly, that isn’t going to happen.
With these two cancelations, the only live action scripted comedy remaining on the channel is “Awkwafina is Nora from Queens.”
Instead, they’re focusing on several animated series, including a “Ren and Stimpy” revival, a “Daria” spinoff focusing on Jodie, and a two-season order for a “Beavis and Butt-Head” from Mike Judge. So….nothing new, really.
In any case, we’ll miss “Drunk History,” a lot.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
