Tyra Banks Not Returning as Host of America’s Got Talent

Tyra Banks is reportedly not returning as the host of America’s Got Talent.

The 45-year-old entertainer plans on focusing on producing and acting following the success of her Freeform holiday movie Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve.

“Life-Size 2 went way beyond expectations… it was Freeform’s biggest premiere of the year… executives were over the moon with the cult classic sequel,” a source told the outlet. “Tyra’s been inundated with producing and acting requests… she wants to produce and create TV. She will not be returning to AGT in the new year.”
​
Terry Crews will be hosting America’s Got Talent: The Champions, a spin-off series featuring winners, finalists, and other successful contestants from AGT and other Got Talentfranchises from around the world. The show premieres on January 7 and will run for seven weeks.
