NBCUniversal will lay off more than three dozen staffers who worked on E!’s entertainment shows “Daily Pop” and “Nightly Pop,” which were canceled last month. The move is due to a larger restructuring effort of the cable channel to create a centralized Terrace Studios that will share production efforts across E! News brands and NBCU’s syndicated “Access” programs.
“Daily Pop” will end its five-year run mid-September, while “Nightly Pop” will end its four-year run in early October. Starting in late October, a new show will debut on E! and involve the hiring of new staffers, though only a portion of the number being let go, according to Business Insider, which first reported the news of the layoffs.
“One of our top priorities is to solidify E!’s role in entertainment news well into the future, and on that note, we are restructuring the leadership team to better help us achieve that goal,...

Hunter March is reacting to the news that his E! show Nightly Pop has been canceled by the cable network after four years. The television host found out that the late-night show was ending after undergoing spine surgery.
“This surgery was really tough,” March said on Instagram Stories setting up his joke right out of surgery. “One thing that kept me going was the idea that I’m getting better so that I can get back to my job and make people laugh on Nightly Pop ’cause that really means the world to me.”
In a second story, March delivered the punchline flawlessly adding, “Nevermind, just found out Nightly Pop was canceled.”
“The funniest part about Nightly Pop being canceled joke is that it was not a joke. Those are the best jokes — when they are real and announced during your surgery,” he added.
