Nick Cannon To Host America's Got Talent

Filed under: TV News > Mariah Carey > Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon is set to replace Jerry Springer as host of America's Got Talent on NBC this summer.

NBC big-wig Ben Silverman called Mr Mariah Carey "a true triple threat, a multi-talented producer, actor and musician" and allowance collector.

How much did Mimi have to promise NBC to get Nick that gig???

Cannon will be hosting alongside judges Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan, and David Hasselhoff.

And while the show isn't necessarily looking to draw in younger audiences with Cannon, NBC isn't opposed to it either.

This should be interesting!

We already know that Cannon's judgment is a little faulty!

Cannon was a great comedian before scoring Mimi… I don't know why you need to give him a hard time… he is no K-Fed, he worked his butt off since a very young age… just wait and see how good he will make it!
