Sergio Makes 'Fried Chicken' Joke About Tiger
After calling it quits last week, former 'America's Got Talent' host Jerry Springer has now been replaced by rapper-actor Nick Cannon.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur will serve as the host of the popular NBC reality competition's fourth season, alongside judges Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff.
It's quite evident that Mariah Carey's new husband has business "talents" as well.

Nick Cannon seems tohave hands in a lot of pots and i think he is good role model for youngsters coming behind him. I guess rap is his main thing but he is on his way to becoming a good actor, i hope he focus most of his energies into acting because i believe that is his bread and butter and what most people would like to see him doing.

OOH yes, Nick never operates on a single plan. I am sure he is looking to further plans w/NBC. I truly miss the black varieties shows, seeing that all the current talent, by the numbers, is, black and has been for sometime. I'm thinking he has the skill and the resources to produce it and direct it, and make it as good as or better than Wild n'out. Ooh yeah, Nick, do the damn thing. The beginning of something Big.
