Nick Cannon Blasts Jada Pinkett Smith’s ‘Red Table Talk’ as ‘Toxic’
Nick Cannon is not holding back his thoughts on Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith‘s Facebook Watch talk show which was recently canceled after the streamer shut down all of its original programming.
Pinkett Smith, who hosted the show with her daughter, Willow Smith, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, confirmed the cancellation on Friday (April 28) in an Instagram statement, writing, “We at Red Table are in talks of finding a new home, and we’ll see you soon.”
The Masked Singer host reacted to the news on his radio show, The Daily Cannon, saying, “Good… If there was no Red Table Talk, then he wouldn’t have slapped the s*** out of Chris Rock,” referring to the infamous moment from the 2022 Oscars where Will Smith slapped Rock for making a joke about his wife, Pinkett Smith.
Cannon went on to call the show “that toxic table,” stating, “Too much honesty can get your ass slapped in the face.”
The All That alum took aim at the Smiths for using the show to air their dirty laundry. “That was royalty, Will and Jada,” he said. “Then they brought it to the table. I don’t want to know all this s*** about y’all… I just want to mind my black own business. I don’t want to be up in everybody else’s kitchen. Keep that s*** to y’all selves.”
Red Table Talk was described as “a forum where the perspectives of three different generations on a wide variety of topics are shared” and is perhaps best known for the intimate conversation where Jada and Will discussed their marriage and Pinkett Smith’s relationship with R&B singer August Alsina, which she referred to as “an entanglement.”
However, Cannon did receive a counterargument from his co-host Abby de la Rosa, who said, “It was an honest table. They are still [royalty]. It feels human, like, they’re human… It feels relatable. They’re trash too, like the rest of us.”

Does anybody really care what that no talent family has to say. For that matter who cares what Nick Cannon has to say. He's a reprehensible creep in his own right. Popping out kids left and right with different women. At least the nannies are making some money cuz I doubt he even sees these kids let alone takes care of them other than financially.

Nick Cannon should be the last person to speak on anyone business. He’s a disgusting male who doesn’t know himself. That’s why he keep having all them kids. Which isn’t healthy in more than one way. Talk about the good deeds the Smith family has done not by one personal decision Jade Smith made. Guys love to keep talking bout the same situation they wish it was them.

Why does this guy always tries to block other people's blessings?
Jada is trying to find a new forum for her Red Table show, he comes out with
how toxic the show is, and when Sherri Shepherd replaced a very unwell Wendy Williams, he says he will not
watch her show because she replaced Wendy, as if sherri did something wrong to Wendy who obviously could not
not work at that point.
Leave people alone Nick, let them make their coins instead of bad mouthing their work.

Who goes on and on about how honest he is, and that he is such an open book? Nick Cannon!
So it is okay for him to blab...blab...blab about himself and his opinions but other people cannot? Talk about hypocrisy!

Yes,it's a disgrace to allow trash willike what happened at the Oscar's will Smith needs to move forward from his so call wife she has did nothing but try to bring him down he needs to focus on Jesus and his plan for his life and the Bible states to be a separate people from anyone of things that could land us in hell including children and spouses I pray for will Smith to contact me because he has worked all his life to get where he is and he can do a lot better because he needs someone who loves him unconditional he don't need anyonie who put others before him I hope the lord will open his eyes before its to late will Smith has put up with a lot of Satan mess Satan uses people to go against any marriages he uses your children and spouses I am a saved lady living for the lord the word of God states come from among them. Will Smith be smart u don't need anything to bring you down In your life and remember who ever your wife is sleeping with you are too with no choice this is naughty and disrespectful to you I pray will Smith and his family reads this comment I don't need your money just concern about souls if respect comes in you will have a good marriage and if you be the man you should be your children also will honor you but the Bible states disobedience children doesn't live there days through I didn't say that the Bible do Remember only what we do for Christ will last

I wasn't a fan of Red Table Talk. I only watched a few episodes depending on who was on there. But Nick Cannon trying to criticize is an even bigger joke. He's just as toxic and has no room to talk.
