Was Amanda Seales fired and why did her show get canceled?
Amanda Seales likely wasn’t fired from her job, rather, her show was canceled.
On Wednesday, Seales appeared on Unwine with Tasha K, to address rumors about her being fired from the show. She explained that her show reportedly could not move forward as the “affiliates” found it to be “polarizing.” Plus, the show, according to them, wasn’t “funny enough on a consistent basis.”
She revealed that her show didn’t really follow the usual mainstream comedy show format, which typically relies on humor and pop culture. Rather, it focused on more sensitive and controversial topics concerning politics and activism, which reportedly didn’t sit well with the affiliates. “These are not let me do a silly skit every morning times,” the actor shared.
Additionally, Seales elaborated on having conflicts with comedians D.L. Hughley and Rickey Smiley. She also addressed the rumors going around about her being fired from her job. The actor said she’s never been fired from a “creative job” because she never fails to “show up” and “because I’m really good at what I do.”
Her latest remarks left the internet divided with many hailing her bold moves of not conforming to the affiliates while others reportedly criticized her.
