Did you know that it was rumored Mike & Molly was canceled because one of its stars had lost too much weight, and that the show’s final season was only 13 episodes long? From 2010 to 2016, Mike & Molly was one of America’s favorite sitcoms. The show followed the exploits of a married couple that met while attending an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. As compared to previous marriage-based sitcoms, like King of Queens, both of Mike & Molly’s titular characters were equally overweight. The show lasted for six seasons, but it arguably could’ve lasted longer if it weren’t for the popularity of one of its main stars. ▬Contents of this video▬ 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Was Mike & Molly Cancelled Because of Weight Loss? 02:09 - Mike & Molly Was a Revolutionary Sitcom 03:54 - The Real Reason Mike & Molly Was Cancelled 05:10 - Melissa Is Still Working in Film Today! 06:26 - Mike & Molly Had a Fan-Pleasing Series Finale 07:22 - Outro Like this content?

At the time, Melissa was best known for her supporting performance on the program Gilmore Girls. Melissa played the supporting character of Sookie St. James on the program for all of its seven seasons. Mike & Molly was able to secure Melissa for a fairly reasonable sum due to the fact that she wasn’t a huge star. She signed a six-year contract, and the show ended up lasting for six seasons. In 2011, Melissa McCarthy was given her breakout role, which came via the film Bridesmaids. The movie turned her into a star, but the actress was still stuck in her Mike & Molly contract for another handful of years. By the time that the six years of Melissa’s contract were up, the actress was a full-blown movie star. Because of this, renegotiating her contract proved a difficult prospect.
