Nick Cannon Steps Up as 'Beat Shazam' Host Amid Jamie Foxx's Hospitalization, Kelly Osbourne Joins as DJ
As Jamie Foxx continues to recover from a serious, undisclosed medical condition, Nick Cannon is stepping in to fill his hosting role on the popular FOX game show "Beat Shazam." Kelly Osbourne will also join the show as a DJ, taking over for Foxx's daughter, Corinne, who is currently on leave to assist with her father's recovery.
"Beat Shazam" is a music trivia show where contestants attempt to guess the lyrics of hit songs from various genres. Jamie Foxx has hosted the show since its inception in 2017 and is also an executive producer. Corinne has been the show's DJ since 2018, having worked on four seasons.
On Wednesday, Kelly Osbourne shared a video from the "Beat Shazam" DJ booth on her social media, featuring an emcee in the background who introduced Nick Cannon to the studio audience. She also posted a photo of the show's rundown.
Jamie Foxx's loved ones and those close to him continue to request prayers for his recovery, with the message, "Pray for Jamie."
The hit music lyric game show was initially scheduled to resume production just days after Foxx was hospitalized due to what Corinne described as a "medical complication." However, production was delayed until Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne began filming on Wednesday.
Foxx was working on the movie "Back In Action" in Atlanta earlier this month when he fell ill. In his absence, a stunt double and a body double have been filling in for him on the film project.
As Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne take on their new roles on "Beat Shazam," fans and colleagues alike are hoping for a speedy recovery for Jamie Foxx.
