On Sunday night, the actress announced that her E! talk show, "Busy Tonight," has been canceled.
An E! spokesperson confirmed the news to CNN.
"Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know my show Busy Tonight won't be continuing on the E network after May 16," Philipps wrote on Twitter. "I'm beyond proud of what we've built in such a short period of time and I'm hopeful we can find the right place for the show to live on."
Philipps has plenty to be proud of.
With her show, she joined a small club of women who have been given the opportunity to tackle late night, including Joan Rivers, Samantha Bee and Sarah Silverman.
"Busy is a hilarious and charismatic talent and we are grateful to the entire 'Busy Tonight' team who has delivered countless laughs and heartwarming moments in what will be over 100 episodes," E! said in a statement.
"Busy Tonight" premiered in October 2018.
Word of the show's end comes with some now bittersweet news. On Monday, Philipps was nominated for a Critics' Choice Real TV Award for best show host. She will compete in the category against RuPaul Charles, Stephen Colbert, James Corden and Jerry Seinfeld.
