Entertainer, producer and comedian Nick Cannon will succeed Jerry Springer as the new host of NBC’s "America’s Got Talent" when the talent-competition returns next summer.
"This is just the first of multiple projects we are looking to do with Nick at NBC," said Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC and Universal Media Studios. "He’s a true triple threat, a multi-talented producer, actor and musician. We are excited to welcome him to the NBC family." Returning to America’s Got Talent are celebrity judges Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff.
