Nick Cannon’s career has taken another dent after his debut talk show got pulled from TV schedules in the wake of his antisemitism and race storm. The 39-year-old sparked outrage in the past week when he released a podcast episode that featured antisemitic conspiracy theories and also provoked anger over views of white people. Nick was ditched by ViacomCBS who aired his TV show, Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out, on MTV – meaning the star was ultimately fired from his own show - in light of his comments about the Jewish community. Now Lionsgate and producers and Debmar-Mercury have taken the decision to postpone airing Nick’s television talk show that was due to begin in September. A spokesperson for Debmar-Mercury told PageSix: “The ‘Nick Cannon’ talk show will not debut this year.
