Salute to Black Hollywood week continues with....

Nicholas Scott "Nick" Cannon



Nick Cannon was born on October 8, 1980, in San Diego, California. As a teenager, Cannon formed the rap duo "Da Bomb Squad" with his best friend Steve Groves; they opened for the likes of Will Smith, LFO, 98 Degrees, and Montell Jordan.


After signing with Jive Records in 2001, he was featured alongside Lil' Romeo and 3LW on the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius soundtrack with a cover of the 1988 hit song "Parents Just Don't Understand".[13] His debut self titled album was released in 2003 and included the single "Your Pops Don't Like Me".

I remember when this vid premiered on Nickelodeon. My favorite line was "Its Nick the cat you aint used to. The rapper actor comedian slash producer."

He is an actor, comedian, rapper, and television personality. On television, Cannon began as a teenage sketch comedian on All That before going on to host The Nick Cannon Show, Wild 'N Out, and America's Got Talent. He acted in the films Drumline, Love Don't Cost a Thing, and Roll Bounce. As a rapper, he released a self-titled debut album in 2003 with the hit single "Gigolo", a collaboration with singer R. Kelly. In 2006, Cannon recorded singles "Dime Piece" and "My Wife" but the album was never released.

In 2005, Cannon produced and hosted the MTV improv comedy series Wild 'N Out. In 2009, He hosted the fourth season of America's Got Talent and is currently hosting the fifth season. Check out a few clips from Wild'n out. There's a little something for everyone.


Cannon married singer Mariah Carey in 2008. The former Nickelodeon star and MTV Networks personality is now the Chairman of TeenNick and the development and creative consultant on the network. Cannon started hosting a morning show from 6-10AM at 92.3 NOW FM in New York on January 19, 2010. You can keep up with Nick on his blog called "Rolling with Nick" here.
