Tyra Banks will be the new host of "America's Got Talent'.

After Nick Cannon quit the top 3 candidates were comedians Marlon Wayans, Brandon Mychal Smith and Tone Bell.

According to TMZ, Marlon was asking for too much money, and some execs did not approve of Brandon as host.

Judge Howie Mandel posted a video Sunday announcing the news, and Tyra confirmed it as well. She just finished her long-time gig on "America's Top Model."
