Variety reports that Cannon and Chris McCarthy, president of ViacomCBS’ Entertainment and Youth Group, which includes MTV, have been in close contact since ViacomCBS severed ties in July. “We continue to follow Nick’s journey and I’m impressed by how he’s owned his mistakes,” McCarthy tells Variety. “He’s been an extended part of our family for almost 20 years and a personal friend of mine for almost half that. He’s leading by example, apologized and trying to learn to understand and help others do the same. That’s the kind of partner we want to work with.”
