It’s the end of an era for Red Table Talk, and Nick Cannon’s happy about it.
On Thursday, Meta announced they’re shutting down their Facebook Watch original programming, which means goodbye to the popular talk show that starred three generations of Jada Pinkett Smith’s family.
On a segment of his new live radio show The Daily Cannon, Nick’s co-hosts Courtney Bee Bledsoe and Abby De La Rosa mentioned the show’s ending — and Nick was quick to share how he really feels about the cancellation.
“Good,” Nick said after hearing the news.
“If there was no Red Table Talk, then [Will Smith] wouldn’t have slapped the shit out of Chris Rock.”
When Abby asked if he was only referring to the 2022 Oscars incident, Nick replied, “I’m talking about that toxic table.”
Then Abby tried to correct him and say, “it’s an honest table,” which Nick rebutted with, “Too much honesty can get you ass slapped in the face. We’ve seen this. That table is toxic.”
“They made all them memes on my brother Will on that damn table. They didn’t need to do that.”
When Courtney argued that it was Will’s choice to appear on the show, he shouted, “It’s at his house! [He] got to walk by this motherfucking table every day.”
Nick added that Will and Jada “are royalty,” and he didn’t want to know all their intimate details. The others argued that topics on Red Table Talk made it feel like the actors were human and relatable.
“I just want to mind my black-owned business. I don’t want to be in up in everybody else kitchen. Keep that shit to y’all selves,” he said. “Fuck that table.”
What’s that saying about the pot and kettle? I can count a few times when we definitely learned something about Nick’s big family that should’ve stayed “in his kitchen,” as he put it.
Luckily, following Meta’s announcement, the people at Red Table Talk said they’re “in talks of finding a new home” and “we’ll see you soon.”
After his spicy comments, I have a good idea of who should be their next guest. They’ll need to ensure they get extra seats and a few high chairs.
