While some comedians are losing gigs (D.L. Hughley and David Alan Grier lost their shows earlier this week), others are just signing on to new deals. Namely, Nick Cannon, who just signed a two year contract today to become Honorary Chairman of Nickeloden’s TEENick Network (formerly The N). The rapper, actor, comedian, producer can now add executive to his list of titles; and he will oversee program development as well as act.
From his Twitter account, he linked to this announcement:
I’m runnin thangs!! This was my announcement, I am now the youngest Television Chairman aka CEO in television history! That’s right they gave your boy his own network. I’m getting my Oprah on. But my focus is the young folkz!! I am in charge of the new Teen network that is going to take the game by storm! News shows, new feel, real fresh!! This is a dream come true, I have been in the viacom family for over a decade and now to be an executive is truly a blessing! It’s full circle, I am allowed to flex my business muscle. It’s a game changer!!!! Thanks for all you the love and support!!!
“Wild ‘N Out?” Maybe. But, you can’t hate on the man’s grind.
