I Love Mo'nique MADLY so what I heard this morning was a bit shocking.. I was listening to nationally syndicated Talk Radio Host "Warren Ballentine" and his "Insider" said BET's "The Mo'nique show" was canceled as of last week. The "Insider" stressed that the cancellation had NOTHING to do with "ratings" but the contract negotiations fell through.


I remember BET reporting back in 2009 that Mo was BET's First Celebrity to sign a Multi-million Dollar contract with the company. I noticed that in 2010 she went from 5 Nightly shows to about 4. Then after the new year they cut her shows back to 3 nights a week. I figured something wasn't right when that happened. I really liked the way she was molding her show into Shining a Positive Light on the Black Community. The Celebrity guests were there for a "cause" and not just to promote a Project. Mo'nique had a seat on her couch for Black Celebrities that could not get a "booking" on Leno or Letterman. Mo'nique's showed also offered a "Door opening" to Black Celebrities that we no longer talk about and some of us forgot about.


Who else was gonna showcase one of R&B's most underrated Gifted Voices; Tevin Campbell after so many years out of the Spotlight? Yeah there were Guests on her show I never heard of but I was willing to get to know those unknown Guests. A lot of them had a story to tell along with a Lesson. Where else in PrimeTime Cable will you find another show like Mo'nique's? It doesn't exist.


Whether the cancellation had to do with "Money Issues or Creative control" there was a reason the Head of BET programming cut the show to 3 days a week. Whatever the reason both parties walked away from the table BET "Late Night" had a GEM with "The Mo'nique show".

Why when we find the thread and link it, it always ends up the same thread about Carmen Electra divorcing Dennis Rodman? Is this a running inside Org joke? I thought it was only me. It's crazy!

The Mo'Nique Show is an American talk show hosted by comedienne actress Mo'Nique. Aired on BET, the series began October 5, 2009. She is the first african american woman to host her own late night show. The show was renewed for a second season, which premiered on Monday, October 4, 2010.

On August 2, 2011, BET put the show on hiatus after two seasons.

i always wondered about the word hiatus. does it mean "we'll get back to you later?" or does it mean "don't call us, we'll call you?" i mean i know what the dictionary's definition is. however the word has been used in some strange situations in the tv boardrooms.
