“The PEOPLE Magazine Awards” announced today that comedian, entrepreneur and entertainer Nick Cannon will host the inaugural “PEOPLE Magazine Awards.”  It was also announced that Josh Groban, Ryan Guzman, Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina and Kate Upton are scheduled to appear on the two-hour live special that will broadcast live on NBC on Thursday, Dec. 18, at 9 P.M. ET/PT, from The Beverly Hilton.

“People Magazine has created an indelible imprint on pop culture and it is truly an honor for me to be asked to host their very first televised live awards ceremony,” said Cannon. “For the show to be broadcast on NBC makes it even more special for me.  Looking forward to an amazing night and hopefully this will launch a new category for People to name me Sexiest Host Alive in 2015.”

The multi-faceted entertainer has had an extremely successful career as a film star, comedian, TV and radio host, musician, writer, director, executive producer and philanthropist. After experiencing tremendous success on Nickelodeon and MTV’s “Nick Cannon Presents Wild N Out,” Cannon’s career catapulted onto the big screen with “Men in Black II,” “Drumline,” and “Bobby.” In 2011 Cannon returned to his stand-up roots by producing his own stand-up comedy special “Mr. Showbiz” on Showtime, and appeared as a series regular on “Up All Night” earning him a 2012 NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Supporting Actor.” Cannon is currently busy running his thriving production company, Ncredible Entertainment, which has pilots at SyFy, Oxygen, MTV2 and Sundance Channel in various stages of production, as well as 13 episodes of “React To That” coming out on Nickelodeon this month. You can also find Cannon hosting “America’s Got Talent” as he has for the past six seasons, airing Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the summer on NBC. He will also begin as a recurring character on “Brooklyn Nine Nine” this season beginning Sunday.
