Well, Jerry Springer announced he wasn't coming back to AGT next season (I didn't even hear about it), but NBC has already chosen his heir- Nick Cannon. Nick...Cannon. This is gonna be interesting, to say the least.

So, is Cannon a good choice, or should NBC have chosen somebody else?

To paraphrase Peter Marshall, I would have rather chosen Nick Clooney, but this may work out.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Is Cannon now the first Nickelodeon *kid* star (Mike O'Malley doesn't count) to get a series on a Big 4 network (sorry, Amanda, The WB doesn't count)?  No Disney Channel kid has yet to make the jump (of course, Hillary Duff and Shia LaBoeuf went right to the movies).

Kenan Thompson is on SNL.  Melissa Joan Hart had an ABC series, if memory serves.

Oh yeah--"Sabrina the Teenaged Witch."  It started at ABC and moved to The WB, right?

Yes...I think it only lasted one season on the WB.

On the other hand, Raven-Symone was on a "Big 4" series before jumping to Disney.

Nick Cannon is married to Mariah Carey, if anyone cares.

For me, Jerry was the perfect host for this show, because AGT has as much "schlockiness" as Jerry's own "talk" show.

As for Nick... we'll see.

It worked on two levels: one, I honestly had no idea who he was, and two, when I DID know who he was, I still thought he was a nobody. :)

Nick Cannon was on Drumline, one of my very favorite guilty pleasure movies. That's what I know him from...
