Cannon's departure came in February after he was nearly fired for telling a controversial joke during a comedy stand-up special insinuating NBC was forcing him to turn in his "black card."
However, before he could be fired, Cannon quit the production and said, "I cannot see myself returning."
It was also revealed that Cannon was "shaken to his core" after NBC had disciplined him over the joke, which prompted him to quit the talent show.
