Nick Cannon is taking his conversations about love, dating and relationships to late-night, with a BET talk show based on his podcast.
The network just announced Nick Cannon @ Night will premiere on Oct. 20, with new episodes airing weekly for 10 weeks.
“Nick Cannon @ Night is a new spin on late night!” Cannon said in a statement. “I’m blending real advice with late-night entertainment. Grown folk conversation where we discuss and receive advice from the experts.”
In a press release Tuesday, BET said each episode will focus on pop culture, current events and personal stories about love, health and modern intimacy. Audience questions and real-life situations will drive the conversations, while doctors and others offer advice.

The guest lineup includes reality TV personality Natalie Nunn, actors Dondré Whitfield and Tommy Davidson, and comedians Flame Monroe, Courtney Bee, Chris “CP” Powell, and Skeet Carter.
They’ll be joined by Dr. Umar Johnson, Dr. Alicia Watkins, Elliot Connie, Dr. Zoe Indigo and others.
“Doctors, therapists and scholars guide us through all things pertaining to our culture and mental wellness journeys,” Cannon said. “Bringing humor and curiosity as we open up the phone lines and DMs exploring questions that people think about privately but rarely discuss out loud!”
The show comes from Cannon’s Ncredible Entertainment.
The host and producer’s Wondery podcast follows a similar format, pairing Cannon with experts and friends to answer listener questions about dating, heartbreak, intimacy and commitment.
“The show has grown to be much more than just a successful podcast, so I am super excited to partner with my BET Family to expand the brand by bringing it to their programming,” he said.
BET described the TV version as the latest addition to its growing slate of original programming. The network said the series continues its commitment to creating platforms for Black creators, voices and stories.
Nick Cannon @ Night premieres Oct. 20, at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. on BET. The show is executive produced by Cannon, Benjamin Sumpter and Ncredible Entertainment.
The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and other platforms.
