There are quite a number of talk shows in the entertainment industry but there are only a handful anchored by women, and a lesser number anchored by African-American women.
Well the number has reduced as it has been announced that 'The Queen Latifah Show' – anchored by rapper turned actress turned talk show host,Queen Latifah.
After the announcement came that the show is to be cancelled, Queen Latifah took to her Facebook page to share a message with her staff saying:
"Thank you for your strong work ethic and great effort in getting The Queen Latifah Show off the ground and running.Your dedication and sacrifice was crucial to the entire team, and in the face of intense challenges, you displayed "True Grit"!You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show.We truly changed people's lives for the better.So… STAY POSITIVE, STAY STRONG, and most importantly, STAY OPEN… There is so much more God has in store!Lovingly, You!P.S.

According to reports, the reason for the show being cancelled is low ratings and low views.
