from 2009 to 2016, cannon served as the host of "america's got talent". he announced he would not be back for 2017, citing creative differences between him and executives at nbc. the resignation came in the wake of news that the network considered firing cannon after he made disparaging remarks about nbc in his showtime comedy special, "stand up, don't shoot". "i love art and entertainment too much to watch it be ruined by controlling corporations and big business," cannon said in a statement, referencing cable giant comcast's ownership of nbc. cannon, however, was technically under contract to host "america's got talent" and could have been potentially sued by nbc for breach of contract, though this was considered unlikely. nbc executives did not accept his resignation and had been stated to be keeping their fingers crossed that he would instead choose to return. on february 16, 2017, cannon stated that he planned to stand his ground when it came to resigning from "america's got talent". cannon's resignation was ultimately accepted as final without further incident. he was replaced in his position as host of "america's got talent" by tyra banks, known for also having hosted "america's next top model".

season one of america's got talent, an american talent show competition, began broadcasting in the united states during 2006, from june 21 to august 17. it was originally intended to be aired after the first season of "britain's got talent", but following a dispute between that edition's planned host and the network that had secured the rights to the program, the "got talent" creator, simon cowell, decided to suspend work on the british edition and focused his attention on the american edition. production staff appointed the program's first judges to be david hasselhoff, brandy norwood, and piers morgan, and the first host to be regis philbin. the success of the season per its ratings helped to foster development of international editions of "got talent", along with restarting production work on the british edition.
