Nick Cannon is a media powerhouse that operates in his own lane. During this timeless conversation, the recent Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee, creator of MTV’s ‘Wild ’N Out,’ and Executive Producer of Fox’s ‘The Masked Singer,’ breaks down how he was able to take his inner-city hustler DNA, and flip it into several boardroom opportunities in entertainment.

“When everybody else was going on auditions, I was writing scripts,” Cannon explains. “I sold my first script to Will Smith when I was 17 years old. It was just based off of, these guys are writing scripts, why can’t I write a script?”

This fall Nick will be premiering a new daytime syndicated talk show from Harlem with Lionsgate.
