Beat Shazam is returning to FOX later this month for its sixth season, but it will be without Jamie Foxx. The series’ host was hospitalized last month for a medical complication.

The show will go on with some help. Nick Cannon (The Masked Singer) is stepping in as a guest host for the musical competition series. Kelly Osbourne will take over from Corinne Foxx as DJ.

The competition series follows two teams as they go head-to-head and try to be the first to identify hit songs.

FOX released the following about the situation in a statement, per Deadline:

“Beat Shazam has been an unscripted mainstay on the Fox schedule for six seasons and counting. This season, not wanting fans of the game show to miss a minute of the fun, Nick Cannon has offered to fill in as guest host for his friends, Jamie and Corinne Foxx. Kelly Osbourne will be filling in as guest DJ. Everyone at Fox Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery and we greatly appreciate Nick’s willingness to jump in and help this summer.”

Foxx’s condition has been kept under wraps but, yesterday, he sent a message to his fans, via social media.
