TBS's hilarious late night talk show The Pete Holmes Show will air its final episode on June 18, 2014, due to poor ratings despite plenty of online and viral acclaim. Host Pete Holmes addressed the cancellation on his Facebook page and TBS offered a statement as well.
"We recognize Pete as one of the most relevant comedians working today," TBS said in a statement in regards to the show that aired at midnight after Conan. "We loved the show and gave it two chances. We just couldn't draw the audience needed to justify a third round. We hope we'll get to work with him again."
Meanwhile, Pete posted the following message to his fans on his Facebook:
Dear friends,
Sadly, The Pete Holmes Show has not been renewed for more episodes. I know! Frowny face emoticon!
I just want to let everyone know that while the news isn't what I was hoping for, my main takeaway from this entire wonderful experience is extreme gratitude.
We got to make eighty (eight-zero! Sometimes filming as many as 19 in ten days!) episodes and I am extremely proud of each and every one of them. I talked to and worked with my heroes. I met incredible athletes and filmmakers. I shook hands regularly with a puppet. I got to work everyday in a magical chocolate factory of joy side by side with some of my best friends laughing and being silly all day. And then I got to share it with our fans. It was an absolute dream come true.

Hopefully this isn't the end of Holmes' relationship with the network.
