From America’s Next Top Model To America’s Got Talent

Tyra will soon be giving the America’s Got Talent stage “smizes” and “booty tooches”. The supermodel and former America’s Next Top Model TV personality will host the twelfth season of AGT. Banks will replace Drumline Star Nick Cannon who hosted the series for eight seasons between 2009-2016. Tyra was in competition with comedian Marlon Wayans but solidified the spot as confirmed earlier by judge Howie Mandal.

Tyra shared "Since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with grandiose acts and performers who make the seemingly impossible possible. I love how AGT brings that feeling into everyone's home, capturing the best of people who come out and give it their all to make those big, fierce and outrageous dreams come true."

"I look forward to connecting with the dreamers, having fun and giving hugs and words of encouragement when needed. And maybe I'll get one or two performers to “smize” for the audience!"

The supermodel has always brought her fun and wild personality on set. Many fans are positive Tyra is a perfect fit and expect the upcoming season to be even better than before.
