Comedy Central And Chris Hardwick Mutually Cancel @MIDNIGHT

After August 4th, Chris Hardwick's Comedy Central show @Midnight will be no more. Uproxx reports all parties involved agreed to mutually close the show after it's 600th episode, which will air in a few weeks. Harwick issued a statement to fans regarding the news, which can be read below:

@midnight has meant the world to me these last four years. It has been a dream to come to work 600 times to make inappropriate jokes about the Internet with my fellow comedian friends. I could not be more proud of this show, staff and crew and at the end of the day, I think we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish. Spiritually it just feels like it ran its course — I’m not sure we had many more hashtag games in us (which may actually be a relief to anyone whose Twitter feed gets overrun every night).
I owe such a huge debt of gratitude to Comedy Central and Kent for taking a chance on the show, always being great partners and allowing us to exit mutually, which is rarely a gift you are given in this business. I will certainly miss awarding POINTS! to people nightly, so please understand if you see me randomly shouting it at strangers in public after August 4th.

Sounds like there's no fan effort that can save this one, although it'll be interesting to see how fans of the series react as Hardwick hosts panels at SDCC this week. Are you sad to see the show leave?
