Celebrity Comedians
Nick Cannon

Multi-talented Nick Cannon was introduced to the entertainment industry as a dancer on Soul Train and as a stand-up comedian. Like many of his teen star brethren, Cannon quickly found a home on Nickelodeon. During the 1998 season, he joined the cast of the teen sketch comedy show All That. Also a songwriter and rapper, Cannon's cover of Parents Just Don't Understand appeared on the soundtrack to the Nickelodeon animated feature Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Cannon's first movie star turn came in the 2002 musical drama Drumline. The same year, he created The Nick Cannon Show. He then gained a lot of exposure with the romantic comedy Love Don't Cost a Thing. On the soundtrack, he performs with Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, and Chingy for the song Shorty (Put It on the Floor). In December of 2003, he released his self-titled debut album on Jive Records. He collaborated with several big names, including R. Kelly on the hit single Gigolo. Film projects include the feature films Shall We Dance? and The Underclassman. In 2006 Cannon would strap on his roller skates for the retro-minded comedy drama Roll Bounce, and after appearing alongside an impressive cast of players that included Forest Whitaker, Kelsey Grammer, and Danny DeVito in the gambling drama Even Money, the fast-maturing actor would earn his first voice credit as the titular hopper in The Adventures of Brer Rabbit. His voice well-suited to the world of animation, Cannon would step back into the recording booth to provide the voice for trigger-happy Office Lister in the computer animated family comedy Monster House. Of course, Nick currently serves as host of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. No doubt about it - Nick Cannon has worlds and worlds to talent himself.
