deadline.com:

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.March would later post the videos on Instagram and shared a message to his fans about Nightly Pop ending.“It’s true, after 600+ episodes, 4 years, 2 work wives, one back surgery, and too many laughs to count, Nightly Pop is coming to an end in [October],” he posted. “It has been one of the most fulfilling, rewarding and amazing jobs I’ve ever had and I’m thankful to the staff and the crew and my cohosts who made it happen.

I’m also thankful to the fans who slid into bed with us nightly, now the bed slide just has to happen in person moving forward.

I’m kidding! It’s the pain meds. Not really, i would, with all of you, same time, idc. Love you all, thank you.”A post shared by Hunter March (@huntermarch)The irony of it all is that just a day before it was announced on Nightly Pop that March was leaving the show for a couple of weeks due to his surgery.
