Nick Cannon is getting ready to take his throne as King of Daytime TV, but he might ruffle some feathers in the process.
Breaking Celebrity News has learned the 40-year-old star will be replacing the ladies on The Real. We're told the time slot currently being occupied by Adrienne Bailon, comedian Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais is going to Cannon.
While TV real estate is in high demand, our insiders tell us The Wendy Williams Show is the "perfect" opening act for Cannon's highly-anticipated talk show, and it's meant to be because they both produced by Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury.
“Wendy Williams is a massive hit and the perfect lead-in for Nick's show," one source explains to Breaking Celebrity News.
We're also told Cannon's show was given a premiere date.
"Nick filmed his pilot/test shows a few months ago on Wendy’s set. But when his show goes live in September he will move into his own studio in Harlem," another source added.
Despite the connection to Wendy Williams, don't expect Cannon to run down any hot topics.
