Show postponed over TV murders

-

The IFC network has postponed an episode of its new comedy series Documentar­y Now! that was supposed to air this week out of sensitivit­y to the onair shootings of two Virginia television journalist­s. The episode that was scheduled to air Thursday parodies HBO’s Vice News and features Fred Armisen and Bill Hader portraying journalist­s killed on camera. IFC said Friday that the episode will instead air next week. It was the second entertainm­ent show delayed because of Wednesday’s shootings. USA put off for a week the season finale of its Mr. Robot drama because it contained a graphic scene similar to the killings. The delayed Mr. Robot episode will also air next week.
