Streaming giant Netflix have announced the cancellation of their talk shows, The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale and The Break With Michelle Wolf after just months of airing.
The Hollywood Reporter has shared that it was the choice of "executives at the company" "to not bring them back for additional seasons."
Both shows have run for less than a year, with Wolfe's beginning in May following her appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The Music's Dan Cribb caught up with McHale back in September last year, where they discussed the cancellation of McHale's previous show, The Soup.
During his ten-year stint as a writer and the host of E!'s The Soup, he consumed enough pop culture to last a lifetime, but since it was suddenly and surprisingly cancelled in 2015 after 22 seasons he hasn't had much time.
McHale first saw the writing on the wall when the network asked them to stop making fun of E! juggernauts the Kardashians, which is what they had been doing his entire tenure on the show. "More so, E! got out of the comedy business when Chelsea [Handler] left and, sadly, Joan [Rivers] died," McHale explains. "We were the last man standing."

While they have taken the two talk shows off air, Netflix have announced new shows in the style including Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj, Norm Macdonald Has A Show; and The Fix, which will star Jimmy Carr, Katherine Ryan and DL Hughley.
