So, when Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel joked that Nick and his kids were at least partly responsible for the record-breaking box office scores of Avatar: The Way Of Water, the multi-hyphenate father of 11 took it in stride. “Avatar: The Way Of Water was the most expensive movie ever made,” Jimmy noted in his opening monologue.
“Disney spent 2 billion dollars to make this movie. Just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s children had to see Avatar four times.”
According to TMZ, when he was asked how he felt about the joke, Nick said he was on-board with the jokes, as he and Kimmel are close. After all, Nick started out as a standup comic himself, so he can handle being the target of a good roast.
In fact, of all the cracks about his seeming drive to populate a small country, some of the best (and strangest) have come from Nick himself. Last week, he teamed up with Kevin Hart to shoot a (probably fake) promo for a game show about women competing to be his seventh baby mama. He also cracked a few jokes over the holidays about the added pressure having so many kids puts on him.
All eyes are on the 2023 Oscars for several reasons. The first, of course, is the potential history to be made depending on who walks away with the winner. The second is whether or not and in which ways this evening’s host Jimmy Kimmel will address last year’s infamous. Well, during Kimmel’s opening monologue, the television host and comedian held nothing back, starting with the slap.
But as the monologue continued, a few other public figures caught a few strays, including television host, actor, rapper, and comedian Nick Cannon. Cannon and his eleven children were on the receiving end of Kimmel’s throwaway jokes.
When poking fun at Avatar: The Way of Water and just how much money the film had to earn in order to break even, Kimmel pulled in Cannon’s large family. “Avatar: The Way of Water was the most expensive movie ever made. Disney spent 2 billion dollars to make this movie. Just to break even, all of Nick Cannon’s children had to see Avatar four times,” joked Kimmel.
Cannon hasn’t commented on the joke just yet. However, he, himself has used his love of procreation as a punchline in his own works. In fact, earlier this week, Cannon filmed a mock game show skit titled, Who’s Having My Baby, with Kevin Hart.
Celebrity Prank Wars is the hilarious new show for Kevin Hart and Nick Cannon coming to the E! network in April. Cannon and Hart have built their careers on their talent for comedy. The show will feature a range of A-list celebrity guests, who will be the targets of the pranks planned and directed by the hosts.
The premise of Celebrity Prank Wars includes a variety of offbeat pranks, ranging from elaborate and complex setups to more simple and candid gags. Each prank’s goal is to get the largest possible reaction from the celebrity target, as well as generate the most buzz and online shares.
The competitive element of the show is also likely to be a major draw for viewers. Both Cannon and Hart are known for their competitive nature, and the show’s format will give them plenty of chances to one-up each other and earn bragging rights. The hosts will determine the winner of each episode’s celebrity prank war.
The show’s announcement comes after a fairly outlandish Tweet released in March, which appeared to be a new E! game show dubbed Who’s Having My Baby? The show claimed to feature Hart and Cannon and their pursuit of discovering what celebrity was pregnant with their kid.
The Tweet went viral, leading to some bafflement about whether the show was genuine. Especially given Cannon’s family circumstances.
Cannon’s unconventional family setup has been the subject of much debate in the media, with some condemning his decision to have children with multiple partners. However, he has consistently defended his choices, arguing that he can provide love and support to all of his children and their mothers.
However, the controversy surrounding the tweet only served to generate even more interest in the show. Additionally, both Hart and Cannon quickly clarified that the tweet was definitely a joke and that Celebrity Prank Wars was their actual project for the E! network.
Cannon and Hart’s irreverent humor and willingness to push boundaries have made them both popular figures in the entertainment world and friends for an exceptionally long time.
Their shared love of comedy has been a key driving force behind their friendship. Cannon and Hart are both extremely passionate about making people laugh and have often collaborated on comedy projects. They share a similar sense of humor and can effortlessly play off each other in a hilarious and natural way.
Cannon and Hart’s friendship goes back more than a decade, to when they were both up-and-coming comedians trying to make a name for themselves in the industry. They first crossed paths on the comedy circuit, where they instantly recognized each other’s talent and bonded.
Their first collaboration came in 2005 when Cannon directed Hart’s stand-up special Kevin Hart: I’m a Grown Little Man. The special was a hit and helped to launch Hart’s career. From there, the two went on to work together on a variety of different projects, including films, television shows, and live performances.
One of their most successful collaborations has been the Real Husbands of Hollywood series, which aired on BET from 2013 to 2016. The show was a spoof of the notorious Real Housewives franchise.
Another reason that Cannon and Hart’s friendship has remained strong is their shared commitment to giving back to their communities. Both comedians are known for their philanthropic efforts and have used their platforms to support various causes.
It’s Deeper Than Comedy
For example, Hart founded the Help From the Hart charity in 2017. The foundation supplies scholarships to students from underprivileged backgrounds to attend historically black colleges and universities.
On the other hand, Cannon has founded numerous initiatives aimed at empowering young people, including working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Despite their busy schedules, Cannon and Hart have managed to maintain their friendship. They have supported each other in their personal and professional lives. For example, Cannon congratulated Hart on the birth of his daughter, and Hart attended the grand opening of Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out restaurant in Miami.
Their strong bond and support for each other’s careers have not only made them better comedians but serve as a positive example of how healthy competition and mutual respect can lead to solid and lasting relationships in any industry.
One major factor that sets Celebrity Prank Wars apart is the involvement of superstar guests. Each episode will feature a different star guest, who will team up with one of the hosts to pull off a prank on the other host.
Some confirmed guests include Snoop Dogg, Tiffany Haddish, and Lil Nas X. The addition of these celebrities will undoubtedly bring a new level of hilarity and unpredictability to the show.
Overall, fans of both Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart eagerly anticipate the start of Celebrity Prank Wars. With their undeniable chemistry and quick wit, the duo is sure to deliver some memorable moments of comedy and chaos, making Celebrity Prank Wars a must-watch for anyone looking for a good laugh.
On Tuesday (March 7), Nick Cannon took to Instagram to tease his questionable new gameshow,Who’s Having My Baby? In the trailer, comedian Kevin Hart puts the father-of-12 in the hot seat, saying “you’re going to get some contestants that want to have your baby.” The promo also claimed that this new release was “the mother of all gameshow,” although the plot and purpose of this strange concept remained ambiguous. However, with Cannon welcoming five children from five different baby mamas in the last year, the show wasn’t fully unbelievable.
As it turns out, the father-of-12’s announcement was just a prank in light of an actual project that he and Kevin Hart have been brewing up. On Wednesday (March 8), Cannon crushed all of the talks about Who’s Having My Baby? with another Instagram post. “Gotcha!!!! ‘Who’s Having My Baby?’ was definitely a prank y’all, but #CelebrityPrankWars is our real show,” the 42-year-old wrote. Accompanying his post was the promo for Celebrity Prank Wars, which will premiere on April 6th.
Nick Cannon And Kevin Hart To Team Up For New Show
This hasn’t been the first time that Cannon and Hart have created pranks around the rapper’s notorious fatherhood. Last year, Hart gifted Cannon a vending machine filled with condoms by Hart. According to E!, the comedic duo will “help celebrities pull off the most elaborate pranks yet.” The network has also released the official trailer for the series, where Cannon adds “there’s nothing that besties do better than pranking each other.” The pranks featured on the show are noted as “adrenaline pumping” and “eye-opening.” In the promo, these wild jokes are teased, shown to involve crashes, explosions, and destruction. “This. Means. War,” the pair announces at the end of the trailer.
Each week, Cannon and Hart will aid one of their “famous friends” in executing an over-the-top scheme. A strong roster of celebrities will be featured on the show, including Tiffany Hadish, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. With the show just a month away, it’s likely that the pranksters may have some other tricks up their sleeves for promoting their upcoming show. Stay tuned on HNHH for the latest news in hip-hop and pop culture.
Nick Cannon announced a new game show, “Who’s Having My Baby?” hosted by Kevin Hart. The announcement was a prank and a way to get back at Hart after finding himself the target of his jokes for fathering many children. Actor and businessman Nick Cannon seems to be cracking jokes weeks before April Fools Day […]
Nick Cannon trolled the Internet to believe he had another baby on the way. Instead, it’s a TV show, kind of. Cannon announced Who’s Having My Baby With Nick Cannon, a new game show where Kevin Hart is the host.
Dubbed “The Mother of all Game Shows,” the show seems to have a run of contestants that wants to have Nick Cannon’s baby. But it’s not that simple, Variety notes the clip floating online is a sketch for a bigger project.
The bigger project may be Hart’s E! game show, Celebrity Game Face, which is set to return on April 6 and pair celebrities against each other in challenges.
Meanwhile, Cannon’s The Future Superstar Tour was launched at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, February 25, in collaboration with Live Nation, the Black Music Action Coalition (BMAC), and Nick Cannon. Amber Grimes, Lydia Asrat, Sujit Kundu, Datwon Thomas, and L.A. Reid were on a panel of music industry professionals that discussed with Nick Cannon what it takes to break into the business and become a superstar.
A star-studded lineup of up-and-coming musicians, including Zoe Osama, winner of the BMAC x Ncredible Future Superstar grant and the opening act for the Los Angeles performance, performed after the conversation.
Osama is the first of 24 Future Superstar award recipients to be named during the tour. He or she will get a $5,000 cash prize, professional mentoring, and a chance to take part in a local performance. 24 musicians will receive $5,000 awards from BMAC and Ncredible in a collaboration with Live Nation. Together with the grants, BMAC and Ncredible are working together to host an educational panel with music executives at the start of each event to impart knowledge and respond to queries from the public about how to realize their full potential.
The Future Superstar Tour will continue throughout March and into April before coming to an end on April 8 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Big Boss Vette, 24KGOLDN, Samba, Pop Money, and many other artists are headlining the tour, and the Superstar seminars are held before each performance.
Tickets are available for the tour here. You can see images from the Los Angeles opener below.
Yesterday (March 7), Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart announced Who’s Having My Baby? with a trailer. What is it? It looked like an upcoming game show on E! hosted by Hart, in which Cannon looks for a new woman to impregnate and add to the whopping 12 children he already has.
Now, Who’s Having My Baby? is a ridiculous concept for a game show, but in some ways, it seemed somewhat plausible. Cannon has been eager to joke about his prolific paternity and Hart previously got in on the fun by sending Cannon a condom vending machine. Furthermore, perhaps impregnation wasn’t the literal goal of the game show, and the promo was just a clickbait-y sort of introduction for a show with a less atypical premise. E! getting in on the video made everything seem more real, too:
We’re def not kidding around! So excited for this!
Ultimately, though, it does appear that Who’s Having My Baby? is fake, at least in terms of it being a genuine game show. Variety reports that the idea is “actually a gag, orchestrated by comedian Kevin Hart, as a sketch for an upcoming, not-yet-announced project,” which could be announced as soon as today, per “insiders.”
Neither Cannon nor Hart have yet to drop the bit and reveal the show isn’t real, but it appears an announcement on that front is coming soon.
Fans thought Nick Cannon was going to announce a new baby. Instead, they’re getting a game show with Kevin Hart about making babies.
Let me back up.
Yesterday, the rapper-turned-TV-host — who has a reputation for being kind of a baby-making machine, fathering 12 kids with six different women — teased an upcoming announcement with wording that had fans nervous for lucky number 13. Instead, the announcement turned out to be so much weirder than anyone could have thought.
Instead of a new child, Cannon shared a trailer for a new game show on E! Network with Kevin Hart playing off of his reputation by having women compete with each other for a strange (and borderline gross, let’s be honest) grand prize: The honor of becoming Nick’s seventh baby mama. It’s like The Bachelor, I guess, except skipping the love/romance/marriage part and getting straight to the child support. No wonder he has so many jobs.
Joining Nick in this … ahem … endeavor is fellow comic Kevin Hart, who was among the many voices teasing his good buddy about his prolificity last year, trolling him with a billboard giving away his phone number for “fatherhood advice” and sending him a vending machine full of condoms. Judging from the trailer, the competition will be quite zany and extend the comedic pairs’ long prank war. Check it out below.
Fatherhood is no joke for Nick Cannon, who openly is the dad to 12 children. On Tuesday (March 7), the Wild ‘n Out host announced his next big arrival via Instagram. His Who’s Having My Baby? series will drop on E! this spring. Hosted by Kevin Hart, this “mother of all gameshows” puts Cannon in the hot seat. Hart tells the 42-year-old in the teaser, “you’re going to get some contestants that want to have your baby.” Although the concept of the show still remains a mystery, Cannon can be seen in the promo hinting at an “eenie, meenie, minie, mo” situation amongst the female players.
It’s no secret that Cannon likes to live on the wild side, initiating Hart to jokingly give him a condom vending machine during their 2021 prank wars. The “Dream Girl” rapper has welcomed a dozen babies over the past 11 years. Despite being married to Mariah Carey from 2008 to 2016, the duo only share two children, 11-year-old fraternal twins Monroe and Moroccan. Cannon has five other baby mamas, who have collectively brought him the remainder of his children: Golden Sagon (6), Powerful Queen (2), Zion Mixolydian (1), Zillion Heir (1), Legendary Love (7 months), Rise Messiah (5 months), Onyx Ice Cole (5 months), Beautiful Zeppelin (3 months), Halo Marie (2 months). He also had a son named Zen, who tragically passed away in 2021 from brain cancer.
Cannon’s New Series Is The “Mother Of All Gameshows”
Cannon recently opened up about managing fatherhood on top of his career endeavors in his February interview with Entertainment Tonight. The California native noted how his legacy development is for his kids to inherit. When asked whether he’s done with adding on his existing soccer-team-sized family, he responded, “yeah, yeah [laughs] yeah. God decides when we’re done [laughs] but I believe I definitely got my hands full. And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might.”
Even though 12 kids may seem like a lot to handle, especially five being under the age of one, Cannon notes how it’s a “blessing.” “Hopefully because of what I am able to do, my kids can do whatever they want to do,” the television personality explains, adding “let’s start talking about it now so we can help your dreams come true.” For news on hip-hop and pop culture, be sure to check out HNHH.
When Nick Cannon promises “some big news,” there are a couple of possibilities. After all, he’s got so many projects in play at any given moment, it could be a new show, album, hosting gig, or movie role. But when he tweeted that he has an announcement today, fans only had one kind of announcement in mind, considering his recent activities.
Those recent activities, of course, involve the slew of headlines about new inclusions to his ever-growing brood. Cannon joked during the holidays that he spent them traveling all night to visit each of his 11 children and their six mothers (he’s one of few celebrities with a separate table on his Wikipedia page to help fans keep track). So fans had plenty of baby-related jokes in response to the actor-host-rapper’s tweet to “EXPECT some big news tomorrow.”
This isn’t the first time fans — and peers — have shared their thoughts about Nick Cannon’s apparent efforts to field a full football team’s worth of children. Most recently, fellow television host Andy Cohen suggested Cannon should get a vasectomy, while fans instantly thought of him when news broke that the world population had hit 8 billion people. However, he does have one supporter: Akon, who is “1,000 percent” behind Cannon fathering so many children — understandable, considering he’s got nine of us own.
