CelebnMusic247.com reports that Nick Cannon’s talk show is being canceled after just six months on the air, according to sources.
Sources say that staff at the nationally syndicated show have yet to be informed. But we’re told many of them were already looking for new jobs because the outlook seemed bleak for the struggling show.
Nick Cannon snagged the gig in 2020 after impressing producers with his daytime talents when he filled in for Wendy Williams during her long absence due to ill health.
The former Mr. Mariah Carey was also a hot commodity when the show was announced because Fox’s “The Masked Singer,” which he hosted, had become the No. 1 new show, drawing “more than 17 million… viewers in its record-breaking 2018 debut” according to Deadline.
But that chatter went cold when audience numbers showed Cannon’s show picking up just 400,000 viewers, making it the lowest rated talk show at the time, according to Celebrity 411. Williams’ show averages 600,000.
According to ratings, the show “show no signs of growth.”
Well, Nick really doesn’t have to worry because he has multiple other shows like Wild N Out and The Masked Singer.
Sources said that networks are also looking for a spot for Jennifer Hudson’s new talk show.
The Sun US first reported the news.
It seems that Cannon show suffered because Wendy Williams never returned to her show. The Sun US reported that he was “pissed” because the popular “Wendy Williams Show” — which aired immediately before his show — was supposed to provide an audience boost that less-popular reruns wouldn’t.
Could it possibly have more to do with his multiple babies by multiple women that put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth?
