New York (CNN Business) CollegeHumor's parent company CH Media laid off the majority of its staff — more than 100 employees in New York City and Los Angeles — in a drastic sale on Wednesday that will likely amount to the end of the comedy website as we know it.

InterActive Corp. IAC sold CH Media to Sam Reich, the 20-year-old media company's chief creative officer and a longtime executive, an IAC spokesperson confirmed with CNN Business. Reich also shared news of the sale on Twitter on Wednesday.

"So, bad news — with a twist. IAC, our parent company, has made the difficult decision to no longer finance us. Today, 100+ brilliant people lost their jobs, some of whom are my dear, dear friends. Hire them," Reich tweeted . "The twist, however, is that IAC has agreed to let me run with the company myself. In words that I'm sure are as surreal to read as they are to type, I will soon become the new majority owner of CH Media."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
