Nick Cannon Takes Aim At Eminem In First Stand-Up Special On Showtime
Posted on Fri Apr 15th, 2011 1:41pm PDT By X17 Staff
He's about to be a first-time dad, but Nick Cannon will also be celebrating another first next month when his first ever stand-up special airs on Showtime.
The actor/producer/radio host who actually got his start doing stand-up at a very young age, is excited to return to his roots.
“I see stand-up as a therapeutic outlet to say whatever I want,†Cannon told THR. “When you’re up there on stage, it’s no holds barred. You don’t have to be politically correct. All the pressure is gone. It’s just you and the microphone.â€Â
So what can we expect from this unpolitically correct show?
Apparently Cannon is going to address his feud with Eminem in the special, Nick Cannon: Mr. Showbiz, which was filmed at the Palms Casino last month.
But don't expect another battle with Em to ensue. “I don’t take anything too seriously,†he said. “And that’s one of the aspects of my show. You can’t be too serious because at the end of the day it’s just entertainment.â€Â
See what Nick called Eminem ... after the jump.
