Gabriel Cannon On Claim To Fame Season 2
Hosted by Kevin and Franklin Jonas, Claim To Fame Season 2 began with an opening ceremony where each cast told two truths and a lie about their famous relative.
The first challenge was a talent show. Travis won the challenge, thus being safe at the Guess-Off. Hugo and JR finished last place, with Hugo being selected as the season’s first Guesser.
During the Guess-Off, Hugo targeted Carly and correctly guessed that her famous relative connection was none other than Forest Gump actor Tom Hanks.
As Carly bid a tearful goodbye to the show, she made sure to let Hugo know that she was upset he had targeted her. “I helped you, Hugo… I gave you clues, and if any of them are right, I swear I hope you go home because of that,” Carly said.
Is Nick Cannon Gabriel Cannon’s Famous Relative?

In his interview with Rapzilla in 2017, Gabriel revealed that he idolized his brother Nick as a child and a teenager. He said that he even tried talking like Nick at one point.
Besides Gabriel and Nick, there are 3 more brothers in the Cannon family, namely Reuben, Javen, and Caleb. Reuben has made a career in music, releasing singles and music videos on YouTube and Instagram; and Javen worked as a production assistant for Wild ‘n Out and as a recurring cast member from season 13 to season 16 before working as a radio host.
