Magazine as one of the ‘Top ten most successful young people in
Hollywood’ Nick Cannon is a multi-faceted entertainer: film star,
comedian, TV and radio host, musician, writer, director, executive
producer and philanthropist. Nick has starred in multiple films and
became the first African American Actor in history to be honored at the
Cannes Film Festival with the “Breakthrough Actor of the Year” Award.
In 2005, MTV debuted “Nick Cannon Presents Wild N Out,” an improv comedy
show which eventually became one of MTV’s highest rated shows in the
network’s history. Due to popular demand, the popular show will make
its return to the network this Summer.
Aside
from returning this year with NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” as the hit
show’s host for the fifth season in a row, Nick serves as the Chairman
of Nickelodeon’s TeenNick television network and hosts his own
nationally syndicated Top 40 weekend countdown radio show called
“Cannon’s Countdown” with CBS Radio. Nick runs the multi-media company NCredible Entertainment,
producing TV, film projects as well as running a product division which
introduced a top selling line of NCredible branded headphones at retail
nationwide last year in conjunction with Monster Cable Products, Inc.
which has become a top seller at retail and boasts sales projections by
end of 2013 to exceed $30 million. He also inked a multi-year,
multi-million first look production deal with NBC Networks to develop
scripted and unscripted fare for the network earlier this year and
introduced a new sketch comedy show, “Incredible Crew” which premiered
on Cartoon Network and has out performed American Idol in all key kids
demos.
While
his professional body of work keeps him extremely busy, Cannon has
always made the time to use his resources and his voice to give back to
the community and those in need - working with nationally recognized
organizations such as Feeding America, Boys and Girls Club, Do
Something, Toys for Tots, Stomp Out Bullying, Lupus Foundation of
America and The National Kidney Foundation to name a few - in addition
to running his own Nicholas Scott Cannon Foundation.
