“America’s Got Talent: The Champions” may be a new twist on a popular reality competition, but one thing is certain: It features a very enthusiastic host.
Actor Terry Crews (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) emcees NBC’s first winter season of the talent contest, due Monday (8 EST/PST), which brings together former “AGT” winners and favorites and standout performers from “Talent” editions around the world.
“I want the (audience) interaction. I’m big, I’m boisterous, I love it,” says Crews, who celebrates a second NBC premiere Thursday when “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” opens Season 6. He plays Sgt. Terry Jeffords on Andy Samberg’s cop comedy, which moves to the network after Fox canceled the series.
Crews, who replaces host Tyra Banks on this “AGT,” joins returning judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel for the competition, taped last fall without the live shows that are a popular part of the summer edition.
