Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook talk show, “Red Table Talk,” has been canceled, TMZ reports.
The show’s cancelation is a result of Meta’s decision to shut down its Facebook Watch originals streaming service, TMZ reported Thursday. Pinkett Smith’s show was a Daytime Emmy award-winner and showcased a series of prominent guests discussing important matters while seated at her table.
The show featured Pinkett Smith’s daughter, Willow Smith, as well as her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris — affectionately referred to as “Gammy” — as co-hosts. Will Smith also famously appeared on the show to discuss his position on personal matters, according to TMZ.
