Tyra Banks has snagged another major TV role.
For, the supermodel turned super-mogul has just been announced as the new host of America’s Got Talent.
Details below…
In a dramatic twist, the media maven has been confirmed as the replacement for Nick Cannon – who departed under dramatic circumstances earlier this month.
Judge Howie Mandel made the reveal on social media moments ago, with Banks co-signing shortly after.
The gig marks a mainstream return for Banks, who created and ‘America’s Next Top Model.‘ She still serves as the executive producer of the recently revived series on VH1.
It also stands as the mother of one’s first major on-camera project since featuring on ill-fated talk-show The FabLife.
Panelists for the 2017 season of ‘America’s Got Talent’ are Simon Cowell, Mel B, Mandel, and Heidi Klum.
Welcome back, Tyra!

This is a nice surprise!
Perfect choice!
I will start watching now! Nick was way too corny and annoying for me!
Umm…this job is so beneath Tyra. They must be writing her a pretty big check and giving her a Producer credit too. Otherwise, I can’t see her doing this.
Right. I cant see her hosting for the hell of it.
I would much rather Tyra be a judge. A host though? Nope. I can’t see it. And I agree that it’s beneath her. Heidi gets a chair but Tyra is standing the whole show announcing names?? Nope. There’s a difference between hosting a talk show and a show like AGT. She was still the “star” on her talk show and even on ANTM. This just doesn’t feel right. The host isn’t a huge deal, who cares, but I’m generally not here it.
I concur….witw
The situation could be like Ryan Seacrest, he wasn’t a judge, but he made more money by just being the host.
Congratulations. ….Hope your happy…
You’re *
Always remember to smize and be camera ready..
Congratulations… You’re still in the running to becoming Americas Got Talent champion…
Hmmmmmmm…I wonder what Wendy Williams will say about this.
.
No tyra girl don’t do it! Ur too big for this unless they’re paying u the same amount as the judges don’t do it! It should be u on that seat and Heidi doing the hosting
LOL! tyra is not that big of an star anymore and so this show should give her some type of relevance.
I still miss her talk show
This is bad. she always makes things about herself. what’s she gonna look like trying to talk about how SHE used to do this and SHE used to be that while introducing an act? a MESSY decision.
Debating on watching now…
y’all realise hosts, especially big hosts, earn the most on these shows right?
I immediately thought it wasn’t beneath her too
–
Like HeidiKl she basically her peer model wise but her ass is a judge and she like the other three judges aren’t even American. I don’t like it but it does make me intrigued to watch finally and see how she isn’t as a host for a variety competition show.
–
Rather her to host her solo talk show again or be the big boss on Celeb apprentice though.
Congratulations to her
Im sure she is getting a hefty check probably as much as the judges if not more…and she wouldn’t come back to hosting for pennies..
miss her talk show
