BET's "The Mo'Nique Show" carried on the BET network, has been cancelled, according to reports in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. The show ran for two years, hosted by Academy Award winning actress and comedienne, Mo'Nique Hicks. The cancellation came as a surprise to many, as people had positioned Hicks to be the new Oprah Winfrey. BET did not cite reasons for placing it on a "indefinite hiatus" but poor ratings are usually the reason for such a move.
