Nick Cannon's Talk Show Came To An End After One Season Reportedly Due To His Schedule
Nick Cannon's daytime talk show was a struggle at the start, and that held true throughout the first season as the show could not pass a 0.4 rating throughout season one. Problems persisted behind the scenes from the start, as the show struggled to get guests, but we'll have more on that later.
Ultimately, the crew behind the scenes was told that season one would be the last. The Producer with Lionsgate issued a statement about the show coming to an end.
He writes, “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,'” said Mort Marcus with Variety.
“We plan to offer viewers original episodes of the daytime talk show through the remainder of this season. 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.”
As for Cannon, he blames the show's end on his crazy schedule, especially with the other shows he was taking on at the time.
However, there was one guest in particular that could've changed things, and perhaps, given the daytime talk show the exposure it needed.
