Wild ‘N Out is still ongoing, with new seasons being produced and aired. The show faced a brief hiatus in 2020 due to controversy involving its host, Nick Cannon, but it resumed after Cannon and the network resolved their differences.
In more detail, “Wild ‘N Out” is a popular improvisational comedy and sketch series created by Nick Cannon, which premiered on MTV in July 2005. The show combines comedy sketches, improvisational games, and freestyle rap battles, with teams led by celebrity guests and a regular cast of comedians competing for a championship belt.
In July 2020, the show’s future was put into question after Nick Cannon made controversial comments on his podcast, which were widely criticized as anti-Semitic. As a result, ViacomCBS (the parent company of MTV) terminated its relationship with Cannon, and production of the show was halted.
However, Cannon apologized for his remarks and took steps to educate himself and reach out to the Jewish community. Following a period of reconciliation and discussions, ViacomCBS reinstated Cannon, and “Wild ‘N Out” returned to production. The show has since continued to air new episodes, maintaining its popularity and success. It has also expanded to include a restaurant chain and merchandise, further solidifying its brand in the entertainment industry.
