The Young and the Restless alum Shemar Moore has a reason to be upset these days. That’s because the actor recently found out that his CBS primetime show, S.W.A.T., has been officially canceled after six seasons on the air. In addition to The Young and the Restless and S.W.A.T., Shemar has also played on Criminal Minds. Here’s what you need to know.
The Young and the Restless Alum Shemar Moore Left Upset Over Series Cancellation
The actor took to his Instagram account and posted a video about his feelings over the matter. He posted a video and explained to his fans, “I got sunglasses on cuz I’m a little bit sad. I’m a lot of bit sad. We got canceled, S.W.A.T., S.W.A.T. got canceled. It makes no sense. Look up the articles, read the articles. We are the best shows at Friday night at 8 for CBS. The last two years we have been killing it, us and the fire show…the fire show that comes on right after us, and respect to those brothers and sisters.”
He continued, “We’ve done nothing wrong. We did everything that was asked for. And let me tell the truth. We’re diverse. Did you know I am the only African American male lead on network TV? Not streaming, not cable, network television … NCIS: LA, LL Cool J, Chris O’ Donnell, respect. Much respect. LL wasn’t no. 1. Chris O’Donnell was. But LL is a beast, don’t get it twisted, don’t mix my words. Since 2017 there are females, Angela Bassett. Look at them up. I am the only African American male lead. Let’s get beyond me. S.W.A.T. is the most diverse show on CBS. CBS when I got hired to be Hondo on S.W.A.T., was getting a lot of flack for lack of diversity. If I post this and I think I might, I will get in a lot of trouble with CBS because I’m calling them out cuz they’ve been wonderful to me for 26 out of my 29-year career.”
