Not taking Nick Cannon seriously is an involuntary reflex for some of us. We have our reasons. Maybe it's because he’s a professional talent competition emcee, hosting shows like “America’s Got Talent” and “The Masked Singer” – a job that requires charisma but not necessarily intellectual agility or depth.
He’s also fathered 12 children with six different women over the last 15 years, ensuring regular tabloid exposure and mentions in stand-up routines. And the host and creator of MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out” has said his share of, um, wild things over the years.
