The Nick Cannon Show is an American comedy television series created by and starring Nick Cannon for Nickelodeon. It is a spin-off of Nickelodeon's All That , in which Cannon was a former cast member. It aired on Nickelodeon's SNICK block from January 12, 2002, to February 22, 2003, for 27 episodes across two seasons. Its premise is that Nick Cannon finds a situation he thinks needs changing and then "takes over" to make things better or funnier.
Guest stars on the show include Usher, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, Willy Santos, Lil' Romeo, Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell and girl group 3LW.
Each episode features host Nick Cannon in a fish-out-of-water situation, such as moving in with strangers, learning rodeo tricks, joining the armed forces, and traveling to London. [1] Cannon described his creative process as "spontaneous", further stating, "I just come up with an idea and then we just see how it goes. That's the beauty of it, to come up with a funny idea and see how far we can take it." [1] At the end of each episode, Cannon writes "Nick Cannon Was Here" on something related to the episode to leave his mark.
Nick Cannon worked as an executive producer, writer, and star of The Nick Cannon Show, which aired on Nickelodeon's Saturday night programming block SNICK at 9:30 PM EST. [1] During this time, Cannon was also working on the films Drumline , which he starred in, and Men in Black II as well as a self-titled music album. [1] After production and crew changes occurred in the second season, the program suffered from low ratings and was canceled in February 2003.
Since its initial airing concluded, the show has not been rebroadcast on Nickelodeon or its sister networks.
All episode titles begin with "Nick Takes Over" except for the last episode.
