AGT's New Host Choice Down To Marlon Wayans an Two Others

Simon Cowell has whittled down his pick for a new host on "America's Got Talent" to just 3 guys -- one of whom is Marlon Wayans.

Production sources say 'AGT' has got its sights on Wayans and 2 other comedians to replace Nick Cannon. The other guys are Tone Bell and Brandon Mychal Smith.

Wayans being the bigger household name is the front runner, but reports say the 2 others have just as much of a chance to land the new gig considering their acting and comedy chops.

Bell  worked on shows like "The Flash," "Truth Be Told," "Chelsea Lately," and "Key and Peele." He's also made appearances on "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and "Comedy Knockout."

Brandon Mychal Smith starred in shows like "That's So Raven," "So Random!" and Disney movies "Starstruck" and "Let It Shine." He also played Little Richard in the James Brown biopic "Get On Up."

Wayans has been in TONS of movies and shows. He's even got NBC hosting experience for their show "I Can Do That".

Simon still needs to meet with the 3 prospects to really see who'd be a good fit. He could even scrap them altogether, but for now ... these are his top options.
