Nick Cannon actually got a job

Now he doesn't have to ask Mariah for a raise in his allowance! From AP:

America's got Nick Cannon as the new host of "America's Got Talent." The musician, comedian, actor and producer will preside over the NBC talent competition series when it returns for a fourth season this summer, the network announced Monday.

This variety show is the first of "multiple projects we are looking to do with Nick at NBC," said network chief Ben Silverman. Cannon takes over "America's Got Talent" from Jerry Springer, who announced his departure last week. (Source)

Mariah will never allow Nick to take this job. It might require him to stay out later than 8 PM on school nights. You just know Nick's got to be desperate for any type of work at this point -- especially if he's willing to take Jerry Springer's sloppy seconds. Either that or he's looking for a way out of the house. Giving your wife manicures and pedicures can get tiring after a month or two. Something else that he's probably getting tired of: the kiddie leash he always has to wear. On the bright side, at least Mariah sprung for the 20-footer. That's a lot of independence.
