The NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution show will wrap production after its current second season, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. She was the original moderator of The View, the original host of the USA syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and was a Today show co-host.
The show had a different look when it returned in its second season.
She announced Monday that “The Meredith Vieira Show” won’t return for a third season.
Meredith will continue to work with NBC after the show ends as she will cover the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The Queen Latifah Show aired from 2013 to 2015, surviving two seasons of Queen singing lounge jams and welcoming guests like former President Bill Clinton to chat Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett.
Though NBC has axed future seasons of the show, it will keep fresh episodes of the talk show coming through May.
Aside from Vieira, no one else from the panel has made statements regarding the cancellation just yet.
