NICK CANNON PRESENTS: WILD 'N OUT (VH1) - ViacomCBS has cut ties with Nick Cannon following anti-Semitic comments on his podcast "Cannon's Class." Said the company in a statement: "CBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism. We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast 'Cannon's Class' on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him. We are committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry. ViacomCBS will have further announcements on our efforts to combat hate of all kinds."

PLAYER WITH TREVOR NOAH (Quibi, New!) - Trevor Noah is set to host a new entry for the streaming service and Comedy Central Studios which will "see him going head-to-head with some of the biggest names in the gaming world.

Noah and Haroon Saleem will executive produce for Day Zero Productions alongside Norman Aladjem, Derek Van Pelt and Sanaz Yamin for Mainstay Entertainment and Bob Bain for Bob Bain Productions.

UNTITLED NYLE DIMARCO PROJECT (Spectrum, New!) - Nyle Dimarco is set to star in an irreverent comedy at the company "centered around his experiences as a charismatic, smart deaf man in modern times. The episodes look to offer funny, character-based storytelling designed to provide a deeper perspective on the experiences of the deaf and hard of hearing communities in America." 3AD's Daniel Dae Kim, John Cheng and Tara Bohn and Melrose Placed's Sami Housman will also executive produce.
