Cancellation

On September 27, 2010, E! had announced that it had cancelled The Daily Ten after four years on the air. The final edition of the program aired on October 1, 2010. E! had previously announced on September 21, 2010 that its flagship entertainment news program E! News would expand back to its previous hour-long format on October 25, 2010[1] (reruns of E! reality programs such as Keeping Up with the Kardashians aired in the three weeks prior to the expansion of E! News), and E! News incorporated some of The Daily 10's featured segments and some personalities featured on the program.

Controversy

On the September 17, 2010 edition of the show, Michael Catherwood, a radio host for Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM and co-host of the syndicated radio show Loveline who frequently substituted for Sal Masekela in recent months, made a controversial remark alluding to prison rape about openly gay singer and former American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert during a story about a physical altercation that Lambert allegedly had with a paparazzo earlier that week. Catherwood said "From what I know about jail, Mr. Lambert probably wouldn’t have too bad a time." Catherwood later apologized on his Twitter account, insisting it was merely an attempted joke insinuating that Lambert would enjoy being in jail, because he would be in an all-male environment; after backlash from Lambert himself, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and many viewers, the show issued an on-air apology the following Monday. The series was cancelled four days later, with Masekela blaming Catherwood directly for its cancellation.[2]
