When Howard Stern decided to quit America's Got Talent, he was actually receiving support from fans and even co-stars like Nick Cannon.
Today on the SiriusXM Stern Show, he questioned whether anyone missed him over there but the discussion quickly found Stern discussing Cannon's transformation during rehearsal and live airings.
"Howard said Nick Cannon is unbelievable," according to MarksFriggin.
"Howard said he's caught between two worlds. Howard said in rehearsal he's all hip hop with the cap turned sideways. Then he gets on America's Got Talent and he has to straighten it out.
He's not hip-hop. Howard said he's in a crazy suit and shoes. Howard said 'Yo-yo-yo' becomes 'Hello.'"
Despite his adoration for Cannon and his work ethic, which he shared during their interview in December 2015, Stern doesn't seem to recognize the Cannon he sees on social media.
Stern was referring to Cannon's Oscar Poem which also addresses race issues that continue to plague the U.S. as well as Bill Cosby, who Stern thinks Cannon was defending.
#SpokenSunday #Oscar #poetry #DontBeDistracted OscarDamn! Look what they did to Oscar.Nah, not another trophy rant.I'm talking Oscar Grant, Sandra Bland, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray.Why we trust what the news say anyway?It's blasphemous, don't get distracted by these lottery tickets and statues. It's just fake gold and plastic.We come from Pharaohs with no masters.What happened? We went from golden tombs to closed caskets.The Black Plague, they want us to catch it.Just ask Magic, Malcolm, Martin, Muhammad Ali, Bill Cosby. It's tragic. How the enemy can tear down our community and rewrite the history by highlighting our flaws.But let he who cast the first stone, who constitutes the new laws.Nah, I ain't never seen Empire but I serve my own throne.What I look like begging them to let royalty into they home.As for me and my house, we'll serve the Lord!We crying for votes but how many of us is on the board.Better yet, when's the last time you showed up and supported the NAACP Awards?I want what's mine, not yours.Fuck getting my foot in.I'm building my own doors.Hollywood mainstream don't validate me, yo. Like Hov say, Save the accolades, just the doe.You in this show for the business, or this business for the show?Talent and brilliance? Hands down, man we got that shit. That's why I told Chris, man go 'head and rock that shit.You got the Juice now. Fight the Power.Hell yeah, I'm gonna watch that ceremony where they gonna let a black man be the Master for at least two hours. So don't waste your voice, don't waste your prayers.Save'em for the thousands killed in Nigeria, Kenya, The Philippines, Syria or right here in our urban areas.Low America.Nah, now no one cares.What about my mother raising a son while working three jobs and still equating to less than minimum wage?What about me being placed on medication before my system could age?What about that prison industrial system turning Brothers into new slaves?Where's the outrage? Where the complaints at?Overcoming obstacles, definition of Black.Hashtag #facts.But I guess they don't make no awards for that.Real talk.Real Kings don't need no pats on the back.#Dontbedistracted

"Howard said this is the Nick you don't get to see on TV. This is the Nick in rehearsal. Howard said he'll f**k you up," according to MF.
Stern described the changes as "Radical Nick" and "Regular Nick" while outlining a movie that he wanted Cannon to star in. Cannon said that he would be watching the Oscars in his rap and even supported Chris Rock.
Given Stern's relationship with Cannon it's obvious that he is just poking fun at his friend.
