Nick Cannon ‘would not endorse’ Sherri Shepherd out of loyalty to Wendy Williams

Production company Debmar-Mercury asked Nick Cannon to support the launch of “Sherri,”

But he refused out of support for longtime friend Wendy Williams, a source close to Williams tells Page Six exclusively.

Debmar-Mercury canceled “Nick Cannon” after just six months on the air, and former Mariah Carey said on his show that the brief opportunity was a “blessing and dream come true.”

Our insider says that Cannon, 41, was “indebted and grateful to Wendy” for giving him a shot on her show

The end of “The Wendy Williams Show” and road to the debut of Shepherd’s new talk show, “Sherri,” this fall has been nothing but bumpy

With both Williams, 57, and her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, blasting the send-off of her famed show.
