TV_Paige Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 'America's Got Talent' But No Host 'America's Got Talent' Host Jerry Springer LOS ANGELES, California -- "America's Got Talent" but it lacks the presence of host Jerry Springer. Springer released a statement Thursday saying he won't take part in the NBC talent contest this summer. Springer said he's leaving the show because of other commitments, including his syndicated talk show and a stage role. He didn't offer details about the play. Known for his freewheeling talk show, Springer got an image makeover when he appeared in 2006 on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and won viewers' affection with his self-deprecating humor and his selfless love for his daughter by learning to waltz for her upcoming wedding while competing on the show. Springer's stint on "America's Got Talent" followed in summer 2007. Springer called his job on the high-rated show produced by FremantleMedia "an amazing ride." His replacement for the upcoming fourth season wasn't announced Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dade Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Courtesy of; ZAP2IT Nick Cannon's 'Got Talent' He replaces Jerry Springer as host of NBC's summer show By Rick Porter February 9, 2009 "America's Got Talent" will have a new host this summer, someone a whole lot younger than the two men who've previously filled the job. Nick Cannon will take over as emcee of NBC's top-performing summer series later this year. The 28-year-old "entertainer/producer and comedian," as NBC describes him, will take over for the soon-to-be 65-year-old Jerry Springer, who in turn assumed the role from Regis Philbin. Judges Sharon Osbourne, David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan will remain with the show. "Nick exemplifies the spirit of 'America's Got Talent' with his talent, originality and an infectious love of performing and creating," says Paul Telegdy, who oversees unscripted programming for NBC. "His popularity and appeal are sure to take the series to a new level of success." NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman adds that the hosting job is one of "multiple projects" the network hopes to do with Cannon, either in front of or behind the camera. Cannon has starred in "Drumline," "Roll Bounce" and "The Killing Room," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival last month. He also made headlines last year for his whirlwind romance and marriage to Mariah Carey. He hosted last year's Teen Choice Awards and hosted an executive produced the improv show "Wild 'N Out" for MTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jersey721 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I only watch this show sporadically. I don't really like it. It could be that I hate David Hasselhoff or it could be that I've been disappointed with the winners over the past 3 seasons. But I switched it on towards the end of last night's episode and saw that boy, Arcadian. He was the real life embodiment of the film & Broadway character Billy Elliot. I loved him. If he makes it to the live shows, I just might start watching more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Billy Elliot is a perfect comparison...and he did get past all the judges, so I bet he will make it through. If you guys missed him, here's the clip...it's amazing how nimble this little guy is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jersey721 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 OK, last night sealed the deal. I'm officially all in because of this guy . . . Kevin Skinner. He's like the Paul Potts of country music. The judges expected a flop, I didn't know what to expect, the audience was laughing, Nick Cannon was mocking him . . . and then he sings and the entire room goes silent. I hate country music, but I truly felt that this guy epitomizes what this show should be about. An everyday guy with a great talent. Much better than Wes on the Bachelorette and much less of a scumbag. Kevin Skinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
