Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury today announced a deal to have entertainer/entrepreneur Nick Cannon host a new, nationally syndicated daytime talk show next year to be co-produced with his production company, Ncredible Entertainment.
After more than 20 years as a host, comedian, actor, producer, rapper, writer, director, deejay, philanthropist, children’s book author and activist, Cannon is moving into daytime talk after hosting two primetime network series, Fox’s The Masked Singer, and, NBC’s America’s Got Talent for eight seasons.
Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said: “We are excited to be able to announce this collaboration with Nick, who has proven himself to be such a dominant creative and entrepreneurial force across film, primetime TV, music, comedy, stage and online platforms. The daytime audience got to see that firsthand earlier this year with his stellar performance guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show. Now we can’t wait to see Nick put his own unique stamp on talk and add daytime to his impressive list of accomplishments.”
