It's been a good few months for Nick Cannon.

First, he married Mariah Carey.

Now, NBC has announced that the musician will replace Jerry Springer as the host of America's Got Talent.

Cannon will join returning judges Sharon Osbourne, David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan on the competition that features freaks and talents from various walks of life; the fourth season will air this summer.
