I’m not exactly sure why America’s Got Talent switched hosts, making this the third in its short run of seasons, but as much as I liked Jerry Springer doing this, I absolutely love Nick Cannon.

To me he kind of stole the show away from the auditioners and the judges, as I looked to see what his reactions were to each performance last week, more than I looked to see what the Hoff thought.
