Nick Cannon’s Syndicated Fall Talk Show Could Be Jeopardized by Anti-Semitic Comments and Backing of Louis Farrakhan

Share

Nick Cannon’s blossoming scandals could jeopardize more than just his “Wild and Out” show on VH-1 and his Nickelodeon contract.

Cannon is set to host his own syndicated talk show starting September 21st. The producers are LionsGate’s Debmar- Mercury. The show has been “cleared” in 90% of TV markets and will air on Fox stations.

But the revelations of Cannon’s anti-Semitic remarks on his podcast, “Cannon’s Class,” and his clear approval of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan could cause a major problem here.

Cannon’s ties to Fox TV could also be damaged at “The Masked Singer.”

I’ve asked Debmar-Mercury for a comment, and will report back when I receive it. Their outside rep will only say, “No comment.”
