The America's Got Talent host
has inked a first-look production deal with NBC to develop scripted and
unscripted fare for the network.
“We are gratified to know that
this new agreement will expand our successful working relationship with Nick
beyond ‘America’s Got Talent’ and allow him to further draw on his notable
creative instincts,” NBC Entertainment alternative and late-night programming
president Paul Telegdy said. “Nick already has produced content for many
entertainment genres and formats, and we look forward with great anticipation
to his cutting-edge ideas in the months to come.”
Under the pact, Cannon will
return as host for America's Got Talent, which remains NBC's top-rated
summer competition series.
"Working closely with
Paul Telegdy and the folks at NBC has been incredibly rewarding. I am thrilled
to expand my role and contributions by creating original programming for the
NBC Universal team," Cannon said.
Cannon, repped by ICM
Partners, Michael Goldman and Del Shaw, also has live-action sketch comedy
series Incredible Crew due in January on Cartoon Network.
NCredible Entertainment, founded in 2009 by Cannon, produces MTV's docuseries Son
of a Gun as well as TeenNick's annual Halo Awards. Cannon also recently
inked a deal with MTV2 to revive improv sketch comedy series Wild 'n Out.
