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?

The fat private eye. Oh, that's Frank.

To paraphrase Peter Marshall, I would have rather chosen Nick Clooney, but this may work out.

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.

Refreshing that I wasn't the only one who did that.

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...
-
Guy gets on my nerves, so no thanks.
/not like I really watched anyway but Jerry did do a good job...
-
Cannon also hosted Wild 'N' Out on MTV for awhile.

What's NBC?
[/quote]
That's the television network featuring four hours of the Today show, one soap opera which is on the brink of cancellation, NBC Nightly News, two hours of comedy/drama/reality programming followed by four interchangeable talk shows (as of September). David Sarnoff has got to be projectile vomiting in his grave----no small feat for a dead skeleton who would have been 118 years young on the 27th of this month. SLURP!

Well done.

Nick Cannon may be a singer, a dancer, & an actor. Naturally, he'll fit right in there. The only thing that concerns me is the slight risk NBC's taking here by acquiring Cannon. Sure he may get the "younger" audience, but some of the older viewers might be bewildered by him appearing on that show even though he's only 28. We'll see how America responds to that move. For now, I'm sorta impartial to it.

I concur with Mr. Door. Well played, Mr. Lemon.

They go through hosts like people changing their boxers. 3 years and 3 hosts, at least Feud could keep a host for 2 or more years.
