BET is expanding its original programming slate with the addition of“Nick Cannon @ Night,” a new weekly late-night talk show hosted by entertainer, producer, and media entrepreneur Nick Cannon. The series, which evolved from Cannon’s successful video podcast of the same name, is scheduled to premiere on October 20 and will air as a 10-episode season.
Originally launched in partnership with Wondery, the podcast attracted audiences through candid conversations about dating, relationships, personal growth, and modern culture. The show’s transition to television marks a significant expansion of the brand and gives BET a fresh entry into the late-night talk show space.
Produced by Cannon’s Ncredible Entertainment, the television version will maintain the conversational format that helped build the podcast’s following. Each episode will blend discussions on pop culture, current events, relationships, health, and personal experiences, while incorporating audience questions and real-life dilemmas. Celebrity guests and subject matter experts will join Cannon to provide insight, perspective, and practical advice.
The inaugural season features an impressive lineup of guests, including comedians, entertainers, and cultural commentators such as Tommy Davidson, Natalie Nunn, Dondré Whitfield, Chris “CP” Powell, Flame Monroe, and Courtney Bee. Experts including Dr. Umar Johnson, Dr. Alicia Watkins, Elliot Connie, and Dr. Zoe Indigo are also expected to contribute to the show’s discussions.
Cannon expressed enthusiasm about bringing the concept to television, describing the program as a fresh take on late-night entertainment that combines humor, expert guidance, and open dialogue about issues that many people experience but rarely discuss publicly. He noted that the show’s growth beyond its podcast origins made a partnership with BET a natural next step.
The move continues Cannon’s busy run as one of television’s most recognizable personalities. In addition to hosting and producing the long-running hit series Wild ‘N Out, he remains the host of The Masked Singer and continues to expand his footprint across television, live entertainment, and digital media.
For BET, the series represents a renewed investment in the late-night format while strengthening its commitment to showcasing engaging conversations rooted in culture, community, and contemporary issues. With a mix of celebrity interviews, audience interaction, and expert-driven discussions, Nick Cannon @ Night aims to offer viewers a unique blend of entertainment and real-world insight when it debuts later this month.
