We are done taping as of January 27, 2016, and I am not sure exactly when/ if the episodes will be aired. The network has its reasons, and I will not get into a debate, discussion or campaign to get them to change their minds. I remained extremely grateful to have been a part of this and to have worked with a fabulous bunch of folks over the years." as noted on Carter Matt.
