*As previously reported, Nick Cannon inked a deal with Fox to enter the late-night space. The network has teamed with Cannon to host a weekly series that covers pop culture and features high-profile celebrity interviews, music performances and stand-up comics.
Cannon is close to serving his latest venture to the masses, as he posted a photo of him on set of his new late-night gig, captioning the image:

Cannon and his longtime manager, Michael Goldman, will exec produce the show, alongside Davies’ Embassy Row banner. The late-night talker is part of a larger development deal Nick has signed with Fox.
The host of MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out” previously proclaimed to be a better rapper than Drake, Lil Wayne, Will Smith and Andre 3000.
During a recent interview for The Red Pill Podcast with Van Lathan, Nick said: “Absolutely, I am a better rapper than Will Smith and Will Smith is pretty damn good. I feel like I’m better than 90 percent of the rappers out there. I freestyle so well that I don’t even do it no more.”
He added, “I would call Lil Wayne one of the greatest, Drake one of the greatest, André 3000 but you put those cats in a battle forum going back-and-forth and they not going to be able to do it.”
Nick later explained his comments on Instagram, confessing he was trolling in an attempt to get Will Smith on the show.
