Nick Cannon is replacing Jerry Springer as the host of NBC's America's Got Talent, but what sets him apart from mere mortals is that he's married to Mariah Carey. Even though they just celebrated their one-year anniversary, Cannon still can't believe he got to walk down the aisle with the sexy chart-busting diva. And, he's ready to dish about his gorgeous wife and his new gig.
Waking up with Mariah Carey. "Every single morning I turn over and look at the most beautiful woman in the world next to me and say, 'How in the hell did I get her?' I don't believe in luck, but I feel like I'm one of the luckiest men in the world. I think one of the things about our relationship is the way we instantly connected. We both have a youthful spirit. We both enjoy life. We're both extremely optimistic. Aside from that, there's the fact that she's Mariah Carey. How can I not fall in love with her? It was one of those things where I went, 'This is a woman I can give and will give 100% of myself to.'"
Don't look for a duet. "I am not worthy of being on a Mariah Carey record. Maybe I'll help mix the tracks at the studio. I play a lot of instruments, so maybe you might see me in the background on one of her performances one day, but never like actually putting my voice and her voice together. The two of us on the same recording isn't going happen."
Being her wake-up call. "I'm her alarm clock. I wake her up every morning by singing to her and she's like, 'I can't take it. Stop singing.' But my voice does wake her up and get her going. Actually, I'm the one around the house singing more than anyone."
Being the host and not a judge on America's Got Talent. "The cool thing about my job is that I don't have to critique anybody. As the host, I just root for everyone. Being an entertainer, I've been in their shoes. I remember I grew up traveling across the country, doing different talent shows, different small comedy clubs and all of those things. So actually, I know what they're going through. I know what that anxiety is like, the butterflies in the stomach, the tingling on the back of your neck. It takes me back to when I was an 8-year-old kid doing talent shows."
