It’s official, The Queen Latifah Show has been canceled. The syndicated daytime show from Sony Pictures Television will show down production at the end of 2014. Original episodes will continue to air on CBS stations until March.
“We want to thank Dana, the producers and the entire staff of The Queen Latifah Show for creating a program that we are all very proud of,” producers SPT said in a statement. “Thank you also to our terrific station partners and advertisers who supported the show.”
Latifah announced the news on her page with a letter to herself as well as the staff and crew:
Dear Dana,
