Nick Cannon Daytime Talk Show Canceled
After one season, Nick Cannon’s daytime talk show has been canceled. The show is reportedly ending due to low ratings, but Cannon says he’s expanding in different ways.
According to Variety, The Nick Cannon Show staff was informed about this decision on Thursday. They planned to do a 5-week production hiatus so Cannon could fulfill his duties on Fox’s The Masked Singer and VH1’s Wild ‘N Out, but instead will end the show altogether.
Cannon talked with The Breakfast Club host Angela Ye on his show to clarify speculation surrounding the show’s cancellation.
“It’s never easy to cancel a production with clear potential, but after a great deal of deliberation and examining various options, we have made the difficult business decision to end production on Nick Cannon,” Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, co-presidents of the chat show’s producer/distributor Debmar-Mercury, said in a statement.
“We plan to offer viewers original episodes of the daytime talk show through the remainder of this season. Our thanks go to the very talented Nick Cannon and our wonderful production team, and we wish Nick continued success with his many hit ventures.”
Cannon shows will run at least until May.
