Corporate logic: MacGruber (which isn't even a one-joke sketch) goes to series while there's a bloodbath at DC Comics.

On the bright side, I'm glad to see Wilmore back, though Ruffin has pretty much run her act into the ground on Late Night.

I don't know that I would make room for either show on my schedule. Ruffin does her own schtick on Late Night. She'll have a whole writing staff on her own show and that should give her new direction to go.
