Is BET Looking To Replace Paigion, Shorty Da Prince & Miss Mykie On "106 & Park"....For Angela Simmons and Draya?
A one week vacay for co-hosts of a daily show won't raise any eyebrows. But we're going on several weeks now since "106 & Park hosts Shorty da Prince, Paigion and Miss Mykie have appeared on their show. And tongues are wagging about BET possibly replacing the three newbies with one or more new co-hosts. And Angela Simmons is possibly the front runner.
Last fall, BET introduced new co-hosts Bow Wow, Shorty Da Prince, Miss Mykie & Paigion once Terrence J. and Rocsi said their good-byes. And less than a year later, things have already taken a mysterious turn.
We always thought it would interesting to see how a 2-co-hosts format could flip into a multi co-host format. And it seems BET wasn't that pleased with how the new setup is working out.
Our source who works on the set of "106 & Park" tells us that last month when Angela Simmons did her first co-hosting stint, it was BET's idea to bring her back (after she was a recent guest) to test out her co-hosting skills with Bow Wow. Allegedly, they wanted to see if ratings spiked while Angela, Bow's ex, was on the show.
Things must have gone well, because she returned for the rest of the week. And has appeared a few times since then. And in the TV world, when you see a celeb turning up more than once on a talk show to "guest host," it's almost always a situation where they are being tested out for a possible new slot on the show.
And while we've barely seen Shorty, Mykie & P since last month, BET sent out a press release stating that celebs would be taking over as co-hosts with Bow all this week--from Angela to Adrienne Bailon to Draya Michele. Looks like everybody wants to be a co-host.
We reached out to couple Shawty & Paigion's publicist to see what was going on, and have yet to receive a response. But their fans have been blowing up their instagrams asking where they are....and if Angela Simmons is taking their spot. They've also been Retweeting fans who are begging BET to bring them back.
The couple has avoided speaking on the situation, but continue to post cutesy photos of themselves chillin' at home in Jersey and back in P's hometown of Detroit.
They've also been making appearances at schools and shooting for The Source magazine.
We're not going to use the words "They're fired" just yet.....but things are looking iffy at best...
I liked the people they had that was an awesome idea its boring with just two people.
ReplyDeleteNOOO! Angela's cool and all but.... I want the crew back! They're way better, and funny and now the only reason I watch it is to see if Paigion, Shorty, and Mykie are back...I heard Bow Wow got them fired, which kinda makes sense but...How?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous I really enjoyed watching the show with four hosts and I have stopped watching the show because it is not as fun.
ReplyDelete106 has not been the same since Free & AJ left.
ReplyDeleteI love Angela n Bow 2getha.... #ON DA SHOW OF COURSE
ReplyDeleteif you weren't going to have them in the first place why are all of them when you really only need to
ReplyDeleteHONESTLY I AM GLAD 106 FIRED MIKEY AND PIGEON AND SHAWTY 106 ONLY NEED 2 CO HOSTS I NEVER LIKE THE IDEA OF 4 ASSES UP THERE AT ONCE. RIDICULOUS DECISION. IM TIRED OF HEARING ALL 4 VOICES AND THE CAMERA TURNING TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM WHEN IT'S TIME TO READ THE PROMPTER. THIS IS NOT THE AMA AWARDS NOBODY HAS CALLED THEM ALL ON STAGE TO ACCEPT AN AWARD ON NOBODY BEHALF. KEEP IT SIMPLE. I ADORE BOW WOW AND ANGELA AND KESHIA CHANTE. PLEASE DON'T PUT 4 PEOPLE HOSTING ONE SHOW.
ReplyDelete4 ASS's Don't need to be hosting 1 show. BOW WOW HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB! HELL! HE COULD HOST THE DAMN SHOW BY HIMSELF HE'S THAT DAMN GREAT!
ReplyDeleteI think it was totally unfair to these young black professional Shorty Da Prince, Miss Mykie, and Pagion. It's almost like BET is saying these regular people are not good enough to host their show 106 & STUPID!!!!! They gave Rocsi and Terrence a chance to prove themselves to us and look where they are at now off to Bigger and Better things after 7 long years on 106. I no longer support or watch 106 due to the fact you don't accepted regular people working for you but it has to be a celebrity to meet the requirements. BET is sending off the wrong message because Young Black Men and Women look up to you all but BET is saying we don't want to give no more regular people a chance to make a better life for themselves we'll just hire celebrities to do the hosting. I wish Pagion, Miss Mykie, and Shorty Da Prince much Success in the future. I hope they excel to the top smiling.
