It’s one and done for Nick Cannon’s talk show.
“Nick Cannon,” a New York-set syndicated program that launched last September, has been canceled by producers after one season, the Daily News confirmed.
“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 Debmar-Mercury syndication company, said Thursday.
Employees were informed Thursday that it would be the final day of the daytime talk show’s production, Variety reported. New episodes that have already been taped are expected to air into May.
“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,” Marcus and Bernstein said.
The “Nick Cannon” talk show regularly featured celebrity interviews, with guests this month including “The Nanny” actress Fran Drescher, “Jeopardy!” host Mayim Bialik and pop star Robin Thicke.
In December, Cannon shared on the show that his five-month-old son Zed had died following a battle with a brain tumor.
The 41-year-old Cannon, who rose to fame on the sketch comedy show “All That,” is also known for his hosting stints on reality series such as “Wild ‘n Out,” “The Masked Singer” and “America’s Got Talent.”
