From Podcast to Primetime: ‘Nick Cannon @ Night’ Makes the Leap to BET
Nick Cannon’s late-night relationship show has graduated from the feed to the network. BET announced on October 13 that “Nick Cannon @ Night” — which began as a Wondery video podcast — will premiere as a television series on Tuesday, October 20 at 10 p.m. ET, with a 10-episode order and BET as its only TV home.
The format is late-night talk built for the group chat era: Cannon fields real relationship and sex questions submitted by the audience, then works through them with a rotating panel of guests, blending comedy with the kind of candid advice that made the podcast version a word-of-mouth hit. The series is produced by Cannon’s Ncredible Entertainment.
The podcast itself is no newcomer — it launched on Wondery on July 23, 2025 and ran 31 episodes, building the audience that now follows it to television. The podcast continues on Wondery alongside the BET run, making the show a two-platform play rather than a farewell to its original home. The premiere night kept the podcast’s energy intact, with Dr. Umar Johnson and comedian Chris “CP” Powell among the first guests to take the panel seats.
For BET, the pickup adds a proven, personality-driven late-night title with a built-in digital audience. For Cannon — already one of the hardest-working hosts in television — it is another format that started in the podcast ecosystem and proved itself big enough for primetime. In an era when networks increasingly shop for shows the way labels shop for songs, “Nick Cannon @ Night” arrived with its audience already counted.

Billy Porter Opens a Faith-and-Identity Conversation Series as First Guest of ‘This Is Our Story’
A new monthly conversation series is making room for the stories people are rarely asked to tell in full. “This Is Our Story,” hosted by Seth Pinnock — founder of the UK charity Symphony Co. — launched October 20 from Symphony Co. and In Details Studios, exploring culture, faith, sexuality, identity and the life-shaping stories in between.
The inaugural guest sets the tone: Billy Porter, the Emmy, Grammy and three-time Tony Award winner, sits down with Pinnock for an open conversation about growing up in the Pentecostal church, enduring bullying, and the long road through faith, healing and forgiveness.
Porter’s reflections anchor the episode. “Forgiveness is for me,” he says in the conversation. “It’s not forgive and forget. It’s forgive and move forward.” It is the kind of unguarded exchange the series is built to hold — personal history examined without spectacle, by a host whose own work through Symphony Co. centers community and young people’s stories.
As a monthly series, “This Is Our Story” is positioned as a slow conversation in a fast medium: one guest, one story, and the space to tell it properly. With Porter as its first voice, it opens with a story that moves from the church pews of Pittsburgh to the highest stages in entertainment — and finds healing, not bitterness, at the center of it.
That is precisely the ground Pinnock wants the series to hold. The conversations are structured around the moments that shape a life rather than the highlights that sell one, and Porter’s episode — part testimony, part masterclass in survival — gives the young series an unmistakable statement of intent from its very first installment.
