Jamie Foxx Will Not Host New Season of ‘Beat Shazam’ amid Health Concerns – According to reports, Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne Foxx will not appear in the upcoming season of Beat Shazam. According to The Hollywood Reporter, FOX is bringing in Nick Cannon to replace him as host of the musical game show, while Kelly Osbourne will take over as the evening’s DJ.
