The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon has been confirmed as the new host of LEGO MASTERS USA, stepping into the role of Will Arnett.
With the LEGO competition show heading into its sixth season in the US, Nick Cannon has been announced as the new host, taking over from Will Arnett. Cannon already has a presence on Fox with his presenting role on The Masked Singer.
“We’re thrilled to bring LEGO MASTERS back for another season,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, as reported by Variety. “Alongside our incredible creative partners, this beloved series continues to captivate audiences. Originally launched with the wonderful Will Arnett, the show now enters an exciting next chapter with Nick Cannon at the helm, who brings a new fun energy to the competition.”
Endemol Shine North America CEO Sharon Levy paid tribute to the work Arnett had done on the show, saying: “Of course, none of this would have been possible without the phenomenal Will Arnett, who guided us through five truly superlative seasons. Will’s comedic brilliance and genuine passion for the show laid the perfect foundation, and we are immensely thankful for his incredible contribution."
Part of Arnett's charm on the show was the energy of him being a genuine LEGO fan, something that Cannon will hopefully replicate, describing himself as 'a huge fan' of the show.
“It’s an honour to join the series and host another show with my Fox family," Cannon said. "Season six, we’re bringing an action-packed hour full of family fun, passion and for the first time ever, in-person audition episodes. I can’t wait to see the insane creations and give away a big bag of money to the best of the best.”
Audition tapes are set to be filmed for season 6 at LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad, near San Diego, on June 21 and June 22.
