Nick Cannon Reveals He's Leaving 'America's Got Talent'

Season 11 of America’s Got Talent might have been Nick Cannon’s last.

The comedian took to social media Monday morning to claim that he would not be returning to host the NBC talent competition series after “Executives” allegedly threatened to fire him because of a joke in his upcoming Showtime comedy special.

“So I wish AGT and NBC the best in its upcoming season but I can not see myself returning,” Cannon wrote in a lengthy post on Facebook. “This hurts tremendously. I felt like I was apart of the fabric of our great nation every summer, representing every culture, age, gender, and demographic. Now for the rug to be pulled from underneath me and to be publicly reprimanded and ridiculed over a joke about my own race is completely wrong and I have to do something about it.”
