Nick Cannon returns for his third season as host of "Caught on Camera with Nick Cannon." He is also host of "America's Got Talent."

Cited by People magazine as one of the Top 10 Most Successful Young People in Hollywood and featured on the covers of magazines such as Complex and Black Enterprise's 40 Under 40, Cannon is a successful, multi-faceted entertainer: film star, comedian, TV and radio host, musician, writer, director, executive producer and philanthropist.

A San Diego native, Cannon began performing at the age of eight after his grandfather left him several instruments as a gift. Through what Cannon recalls as "a lot of trial and failure," he recorded his first song at home on his boom box. Shortly after, Cannon took the stage to perform his music along with stand-up comedy. Cannon headed for Hollywood at age 15 and landed gigs at world-renowned comedy venues, including the Improv, Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store. He went on to share the stage with the likes of Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock before landing his first television gig as an audience warm-up for the long-running Nickelodeon hit show "All That."

Producers quickly recognized Cannon's calling was in front of the camera, and he became a regular on the show as well as a writer, making him the youngest staff writer in television history at age 17. This path culminated in the creation of "The Nick Cannon Show," in which he starred, directed and executive produced, earning him his first Kids' Choice Award.

While he enjoyed tremendous success on Nickelodeon, Cannon's career catapulted onto the big screen when he made an appearance alongside Will Smith in "Men in Black II" before landing a leading role in the feature film "Drumline." In 2005, MTV debuted "Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out," an improv comedy show with musical performances that Cannon created, produced and hosted, which eventually became one of MTV's highest-rated shows in the network's history, airing new episodes for four consecutive seasons. Due to popular demand, Cannon brought the hit show back with a new cast, which premiered in 2013 on MTV2. Now in its seventh season, "Wild 'N Out" has ranked as the highest-rated series in MTV2 history.

In 2006, Cannon was featured in the Emilio Estevez film "Bobby," which earned him a 2007 SAG Award nomination and made him the first African-American actor to be honored at the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival with the Breakthrough Actor of the Year Award.

Returning to his roots as a stand-up comedian, Cannon produced his own Showtime stand-up comedy special "Mr. Showbiz" in 2011. In the same year, Cannon also starred on the Lorne Michaels-produced NBC scripted comedy show "Up All Night," earning a 2012 NAACP Image Award. Cannon most recently joined the Golden Globe-winning series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" in a recurring role. When he is not in front of the camera or a live audience, Cannon is busy running his highly successful multimedia company, Ncredible Entertainment, producing TV and film projects, including Nickelodeon's annual "HALO Awards," "TeenNick Top Ten," "React to That" and "Wild 'N Out" on MTV2. He also has projects at SyFy, Oxygen, MTV2 and SundanceTV in various stages of production.

On the film side, Cannon most recently wrote, directed and produced his first studio film, "School Dance," for Lionsgate in 2014. Cannon and Ncredible also produced the sequel to "Drumline," titled "Drumline: A New Beat," which aired on VH1 in 2014 to 2.4 million viewers. He also inked a multi-year first look production deal with NBCUniversal to develop scripted and unscripted fare. Cannon and Ncredible are in production on the reboot of "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" on NBC.

Noted by The New York Times as "one of the most recognizable personalities in teen media," Cannon also actively serves as the CEO of teen magazine Celebrity High as well as chairman of TeenNick, Nickelodeon's television network aimed at the teen audience.

Ncredible Entertainment has successfully ventured into the world of consumer products with a line of Ncredible headphones in partnership with Monster Cable, Ncredible backpacks sold exclusively through Office Depot, a line of Nick Cannon ties sold exclusively at Macy's, as well as the Ncredible Tablet, launched in 2014 in partnership with QVC.

While his professional body of work keeps him extremely busy, Cannon has always made time to use his resources and his voice to give back to the community and those in need by working with nationally recognized organizations such as Feeding America, Boys & 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.
