Nick Cannon’s talk show CANCELED after just one season and struggling host will be replaced by Jennifer Hudson’s series

NICK Cannon’s daytime talk show is canceled after just one season as the struggling host’s gabfest will be replaced by Jennifer Hudson’s talk series.

Nick’s gig is being axed and The Jennifer Hudson Show purchased by Fox is expected to run in Nick’s place, multiple sources confirmed to The Sun.

The 41-year-old’s show, which followed the now canceled Wendy Williams Show’s time slot, failed to gain rating’s traction in its debut season.  

One source told The Sun Nick’s numbers never took off while adding that The Nick Cannon Show ratings held at around a paltry .4 through the season, which equates to about 400,000 viewers. 

“You can’t survive with those ratings. That’s Bethenny Frankle and Kris Jenner talk show rating territory- it didn’t end well for their shows either.” 

Another TV insider added that Jennifer Hudson’s show will move into the new time slot opened by Nick’s cancellation.  

“Jennifer’s new deal with Fox had yet to be an announced time slot. Not many people have been told yet, but her show is expected to get Nick’s time slot,” a source revealed. 

Meanwhile, a network insider confirmed Nick’s show has been canceled and an announcement is imminent. 

“It is anticipated that Nick will finish out the rest of his season.”

A representative for The Nick Cannon Show’s production company Debmar-Mercury told The Sun “No comment” when asked about the show’s cancelation.

Jennifer’s show is slated to start in the fall of this year.

In a statement to the last week, the former American Idol winner said: “I have experienced so much in my life; I’ve seen the highest of the highs, the lowest of the lows, and just about everything in between but as my mother always told me, ‘Once you think you’ve seen it all, just keep on living.'”

Did Wendy Williams’ absence contribute? 

A source previously revealed to The Sun Nick’s show followed a host-less Wendy Williams Show and that he had expressed concerns early on the troubled host’s absence could cause his own ratings to tank. 

“He was relying on Wendy to give his new show a huge lead-in audience.

“His new show follows her- and it’s the same producers.

“The pressure is on him to get ratings- and without a huge lead-in, he’s dead,” the source said at the time. 

Busy man 

As The Sun previously reported Nick, 41, confirmed on  he was expecting his eighth child with his fifth baby mama.  

Bre Tiesi, 30, is expecting her first child with The Masked Singer host – which will be Nick’s eighth offspring so far.  

Photos from their gender reveal, where it was announced they are having a boy, were dropped before Nick confirmed the news.
