‘Daily Show’ Veterans Decry Loss of Clip Archive After Comedy Central Website Gutted: “S**t Ain’t Right”

Paramount took down most of the content on several of its network sites earlier this week.

The sites for Comedy Central and fellow Paramount-owned cable channels CMT, Paramount Network and TV Land, were largely stripped of content this week; what’s left mostly redirects users to the company’s streaming platform, Paramount+. Paramount, which is looking to cut half a billion dollars in costs amid declining profits, said the gutting of the sites was “part of broader website changes across” the company. This shit ain’t right.” Doug Herzog, who headed Comedy Central when The Daily Show launched, reposted Wood’s statement in an Instagram Story and added a facepalm emoji to a screenshot of a news item about Paramount’s gutting of the website.
