Gossip Friday: 'The Black Carpet' Gets The Axe

If you haven't heard by now, BET's gossip and entertainment news program, The Black Carpet, has been cancelled.


Earlier this month, Viacom announced they would be making significant cut backs and I guess this was one of them.

While there are a lot of shows on BET deserving of the axe, I don't think 'The Black Carpet' was one of them.

BET Week & Gossip Friday: The Black Carpet

Keeping with our BET theme of the week and seeing that it is Gossip Friday, I figured we take a look at BET's gossip entertainment show, The Black Carpet.

I like this show. It's a black Entertainment Tonight/Access Hollywood and it works. For the longest time I wanted to see something like this on BET so I for one ain't mad.


But while hosts Danella, Toure and Egypt are all qualified and good at what they do, I don't really enjoy them as much. Maybe I am being too hard but they bore me.

And my only other gripe is that this show only airs once a week. What's up with that? Do we not have enough black entertainment going on this country to make this a nightly program similar to the white entertainment shows I mentioned earlier?

Anyhoo..

Not sure if Hudlin was the mastermind behind bringing this show to the network but if so, he gets points.

The Black Carpet airs on Thursdays at 7:30 PM.

Have a great weekend!
