Tyra Banks To Replace Nick Cannon As Host of' America's Got Talent'
The former 'America's Next Top Model' will host the twelfth season of summer NBC competition series. "Since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with grandiose acts and performers who make the seemingly impossible possible," Tyra says in a statement. "I love how AGT brings that feeling into everyone's home, capturing the best of people who come out and give it their all to make those big, fierce and outrageous dreams come true." "I look forward to connecting with the dreamers, having fun and giving hugs and words of encouragement when needed. And maybe I'll get one or two performers to smize for the audience!" Cannon hosted the NBC series for eight seasons from 2009 to 2016. Tyra Banks will replace Nick Cannon on 'America's Got Talent'.
