Nick Cannon will have to wait until 2021 to host his daytime talk show. The premiere of the veteran entertainer’s syndicated show has been postponed in the aftermath of his anti-Semitic comments on the Cannon’s Class podcast.
“The Nick Cannon talk show will not debut this year,” Lionsgate and Debmar-Mercury said in a press statement. “After conversations with Nick, we do believe that his public comments don’t reflect his true feelings and his apology is heartfelt and sincere.
“We want to continue the healing process as he meets with leaders of the Jewish community and engages in a dialogue with our distribution partners to hear their views. We are standing by Nick in our hope that by fall 2021 he will be able to use his extraordinary talent and platform to entertain, enlighten and unite his audience on the Nick Cannon talk show.”
Cannon’s talk show was originally scheduled to debut in fall 2020. The syndicated series was going to air in 90 percent of the country after being picked up by local affiliates owned by FOX, CBS, Sinclair, COX and more.
All of that changed when Cannon came under fire for remarks made during an podcast interview with former Public Enemy member Professor Griff. The two discussed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including Cannon claiming Black people are “the true Hebrews.”
“It’s never hate speech,” he said. “You can’t be anti-Semitic when we are the Semitic people; when we are the same people who they want to be.”
Cannon later apologized and declared he doesn’t “condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric.” But his remarks resulted in him getting fired by ViacomCBS, which led to him demanding ownership of his longtime MTV show Wild ‘N Out.
Although ViacomCBS cut ties with Cannon, the multi-hyphenate was able to retain his job as host of FOX’s The Masked Singer. He also wasn’t ousted from his morning radio gig at Power 106 in Los Angeles but will be taking an indefinite hiatus from the show.
When it rains… there’s a Hurricane…lol
Of course FOX didn’t fire him, they’re owned by Disney, and Walt Disney was an outspoken notorious anti-Semite, shit they prolly gave him a raise. Fuck this bigot and if you agree with him don’t bitch when other races call black people less than and inferior based on their skin colour.
“Dont be mad if other races consider black less than and inferior?” Fvck you coward. You are an embarassment and a waste of oxygen on this planet. Eat a bullet and give up the spot you’re taking up. The circus left town you impotent clown.
What’s up bitch don’t like the double standard being highlighted, if you don’t like other races saying that don’t fucking defend him saying it about them, it’s not fucking hard to grasp, being none should apply to EVERYONE MORON.
What’s up bitch don’t like the double standard being highlighted, if you don’t like other races saying that don’t fucking defend him saying it about them, it’s not fucking hard to grasp, being none racist should apply to EVERYONE MORON. Treat people how you want to be treated, he’s calling other races inferior based on skin colour, anyone who supports that can’t bitch when it’s done in reverse.
FOX is part of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. He is ethnic joo. Nice try Shlomo.
Actually you’re confusing fox with fox news, fox news is owned by rupert Murdoch while fox operates as a seperate entertainment company and was recently purchased by disney but fox news was not a part of that transaction
Executive Bob Iger at Disney is jooish. Source is Wikipedia.
Fuck you. You already feel like that. It doesn’t take a persons actions to influence that. Your time will be coming.
Sounds like a deal to me…Rosanne’s rant wasn’t even a quarter as nasty as Nick’s and she lost her show and it’s whole legacy the next day. Nick gets put in timeout for 6 months til it blows over. What a fuckin joke. I can guarantee you this…bullshit like this will only keep racism alive and burning. Whether you like it or not emotions get triggered when shit goes down like this
Boycott
When things you say on a podcast go wrong. Like wtf is wrong with these people going on these podcasts and Twitter and shit and ruining their lives?
White America
I don’t get why some people are acting like this is an injustice. Dude said racist shit and got canceled. How is it fair game to cancel white people, but corny ass Nick is supposed to get a pass ?
Look up the Moors, the stuff he said isn’t just an opinion, although his choice of words was very poor. it’s a movement towards revisionist history being exposed, which the powers that be don’t want
Who gives a shit. Nick Cannon news belongs on girl gossip sites. He’s a bitch. Next.
