It looks like there is such a thing as second chances in the film and television world. According to new reports, Nick Cannon has been given his job back at the reality competition show The Masked Singer after he was initially fired by ViacomCBS for anti-Semitic remarks he recently made during an interview. The television personality now says that he’s consulted with religious and community leaders to help him learn from his mistakes and move forward.
The 39-year-old was pink-slipped earlier this week after remarks he made on an episode of his podcast. Nick was speaking with rapper Professor Griff for an episode in which he claimed there was truth to many conspiracy theories about Jewish People.

Nick Cannon Gets His Job Back At The Masked Singer
Nick took to his Twitter account to apologize for his remarks and clear up the matter by saying, “First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin. They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from. The video of this interview has since been removed.”
Nick, who was once married to Mariah Carey and shares two children with the singer, added, “While the Jewish experience encompasses more than 5,000 years and there is so much I have yet to learn, I have had at least a minor history lesson over the past few days and to say that it is eye-opening would be a vast understatement.” Meanwhile, Fox issued a statement obtained by Fox News explaining that it has assessed the situation and will allow him to keep his role as host of The Masked Singer.
