Nick Cannon Slams 'Red Table Talk' as 'That Toxic Table' After Facebook Watch Shutdown

Nick Cannon claims Red Table Talk's revelations led to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock: "Too much honesty"

Nick Cannon is sharing his thoughts on Red Table Talk after Facebook Watch shut down all of its original programming, leaving Jada Pinkett Smith's talk show without a home.

PEOPLE confirmed earlier this week that Meta is ending its Facebook Watch original programming, stopping new seasons of its series, including the hit talk show hosted by Pinkett Smith, 51, her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris and her daughter Willow Smith.

Reacting to the news on his radio show, The Daily Cannon, the father of 12 called the development "good."

"If there was no Red Table Talk, then he wouldn't have slapped the s--- out of Chris Rock," Cannon continued, referencing the incident during the 94th Academy Awards, when Will Smith slapped Rock, 58, for making a joke about Pinkett Smith's shaved head.

Going on to call the program "that toxic table," Cannon said, "Too much honesty can get your ass slapped in the face." He later added: "That was royalty, Will and Jada. Then they brought it to the table. I don't want to know all this s--- about y'all."

Deadline was first to report the news that Facebook Watch's original programming endeavors were ending, with none of its shows returning for more seasons. It added that Red Table Talk was being shopped around to other interested networks, and Variety reported that it is a cost-cutting measure.

Facebook Watch also released shows like Piece of Mind with Taraji with Taraji P. Henson, The Biebers on Watch, Elizabeth Olsen's drama series Sorry For Your Loss and Limetown with Jessica Biel.

Produced by Westbrook Studios, Red Table Talk won a Daytime Emmy for outstanding informative talk show in 2021. It premiered in 2018, and it later spawned the spinoff Red Table Talk: The Estefans.

Previous episodes of Red Table Talk have included major guests like Sandra Bullock, Snoop Dogg, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Paris Jackson, Matthew McConaughey, Demi Moore, Keanu Reeves, Gwyneth Paltrow and more.
