"Now, I know what you all are thinking: that ain't Jamie Foxx," Cannon said at the top of the show.

"And you are absolutely right. I'm actually Nick Cannon, and I'm honored that Jamie asked me to fill in for him, so make no mistake: this is Jamie Foxx's house. He has hosted this show for five seasons and given away almost $12 million. It's amazing."

Kelly Osbourne is serving as a guest DJ, temporarily replacing Foxx's daughter Corinne Foxx, who is on a leave of absence as she helps with Foxx's recovery.

Corinne Foxx announced April 12 that her father was hospitalized for a "medical complication."
