Nick Cannon TV Talk Show On Pause

Nick Cannon

Amid the anti-Semitic controversy Nick Cannon caused for himself, his eagerly anticipated syndicated daytime talk show will not premiere on Oct. 5 as originally scheduled.

On Friday, producers of the talk show — which was already cleared to launch in 90% of the country — said that the show will not go on.

At least for now.

In a statement obtained by The Daily News, Debmar-Mercury said the “Nick Cannon” talk show “will not debut this year” and hope it will hit the airwaves next year.

“After conversations with Nick, we do believe that his public comments don’t reflect his true feelings and his apology is heartfelt and sincere,” the statement read. “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.”
