Comedy Central has put in a series order for 40 more weeks of Chris Hardwick's late-night show focusing on pop culture, @midnight.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show recently ended its trial run on Thursday night and was quickly renewed.
New episodes of Hardwick's show will return in early January and will air after The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Comedy Central's Original Programming President Kent Alterman joked in a statement, "We're amazed at how quickly @midnight has resonated with our fans. If the Internet catches on and social media becomes a part of pop culture, we think we'll really have something here."
During the show's trial run, @midnight has led all late-night shows in the 18-34 demographics, TheWrap reports. The average age of viewers is 32, providing @midnight with the youngest late-night audience.
"I don't have adequate words to express how excited I am that we are going to be a fixture of late-night in 2014," Hardwick commented. "Huge thanks to the amazing teams at Funny Or Die, Serious Business, and Tom Lennon and Ben Garant. They've made this process one of the most rewarding and fun experiences of my life. Finally, to the fantastic folks at Comedy Central, I say, POINTS!!!"
