Nick Cannon quits AGT

IamMrsG · ‎08-29-2010

After performing a comedy routine about AGT filled with the 'N' and 'F' words, news filtered down to Nick Cannon that the executives at NBC were considering firing him for it (after previous warnings). In the line of a good offense as the best defense, Mr. Cannon fired off his indignant resignation on Facebook. In it he declared that no amount of money they pay him is worth losing his dignity.

Maybe I am not sophisticated enough, but I fail to see dignity, integrity or moral principle in what I read either of his comedy routine or the handling of his resignation. I've always enjoyed Nick on America's Got Talent, viewing him as a kind and generous man. This news, however, knocks Nick Cannon down several pegs in my estimation.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

@Mz iMac It's true. A picture is worth a thousand words.

@Mz iMac LOL!

Yup!

So true!

It's a shame this had to go the way it did because he was the perfect host for AGT.

It seems he had distinct personalities- AGT vs comedy. And comedy won out....

I've been thinking who can fill his shoes at AGT. He really connected with the contestants- is there another Ryan Seacrest type out there?

I think Nick could have - should have used anything but AGT for his comedy routine. He is clueless if he thought for one second that he is not held to a higher standard as host for this show. When you are part of prime time cable TV and the show is considered family entertainment - there is a certain expectation whether he or anyone else agrees with it or not.

I agree, I loved him on AGT too! I went to Radio City Music Hall - also a few othe tri-state area venues- for the audition shows and the live shows as well. This is so disapponting- and I'm trying to think back if he seemed truly happy in the 'role' or was just earining a paycheck. Nick was 10 ft away from me at times! One never really knows what was going on inside.

I'm curious, did you all feel that way about Joan Rivers? Her humor was pretty blue and she made mean jokes about overweight people, while selling them her wares. I always feel like she got a pass here, while others get bashed.

I couldn't stand her. I think she was tacky, to put it nicely.
