Mo'Nique's talk show gets the ax

ATLANTA, July 28 (UPI) -- U.S. cable network BET has canceled "The Mo'Nique Show," starring Oscar-winning actress Mo'Nique, after two seasons, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said.

"'The Mo'Nique Show' will be on production hiatus beginning in the fall," a BET representative told the newspaper Thursday. "Mo'Nique Hicks and 'The Mo'Nique Show' are important to the BET Networks family and we look forward to continuing our relationship our with her."

No reason for the hiatus was given.

The chat show was taped at Turner Studios in Atlanta.

Mo'Nique won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar last year for her portrayal of an abusive mother in "Precious."
