Former ‘Sing-Off’ host Nick Lachey has landed a new gig on the VH1 pop culture news show ‘Big Morning Buzz Live!’
He will replace Carrie Keagan when production starts back up in the spring. The VH1 show originally launched in 2011 and has filmed more than 400 live episodes.
Former host Keagan announced in late December that she would not be returning, “I’ve had the most wonderful time and experience hosting Buzz, and I am very grateful to have worked with the stellar production team behind the show, as well as Tom Calderone and Lee Rolontz at VH1, who were incredible champions and supporters. I’m sad to leave but I am very proud to have helped launch VH1’s first morning show and look forward to its continued success.”
Nick married Vanessa Minnillo on Richard Branson’s private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands in 2011. Their son Camden was born a year later. He told reporters that he planned to leave L.A. for Cincinnati, Ohio before his son starts school. In the meantime, the family will rent an apartment in New York City for his new job.
