Nick Cannon was hit with sad news on March 9 when it was reported his talk show, Nick Cannon, had been canceled just six months after it made its debut. A source alleged to Page Six that the talk show is over, but claimed staff hadn’t been officially told. However, it’s alleged many had already been looking for work elsewhere “because the outlook seemed bleak for the struggling show.”
As for what could happen to the slot occupied by Cannon’s show? Well, The U.S. Sun reported that he’s apparently set to be replaced by Jennifer Hudson, with sources claiming that her new series, aptly titled “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” has been “purchased by Fox.”
Despite the axe news, it’s reported that Cannon’s show won’t go off the air immediately and will reportedly see out the season, with Hudson’s new series expected to debut in fall 2022.
Hudson is one of several famous faces turning their hand to the talk show world with an eponymous series. Of course, her fellow “American Idol” alum Kelly Clarkson has “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on NBC, while Drew Barrymore is the host of CBS’s “The Drew Barrymore Show” — where she’s revealed some surprising ex confessions.
Cannon doesn’t appear to have spoken publicly about the reported end of his show, but continued to promote the series on Instagram. On March 9 as the news broke, he shared a clip from his interview with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”‘s Cynthia Bailey.
