NBC Readies Reality Lineup, Adds New Hosts

NBC is bringing back "America's Got Talent" this summer with a new host--Jerry Springer--and offering new rounds of "Last Comic Standing" and "The Biggest Loser," also with new hosts.

"Talent" debuts May 29, and "Comic" arrives June 13. "Talent" will have a regular time slot Tuesdays at 8 p.m., with "Comic" airing Wednesdays at 9 p.m. "Talent" is from the producers of "American Idol," and performers are licensed to compete in their particular field from singing to dancing to comedy. New host Springer has hosted his eponymous talk show for 16 seasons.

"Comic"'s new host is comic/actor Bill Bellamy, who takes over for the show's fifth season, which will now include international talent.

"The Biggest Loser," a solid in-season performer for the network for several years with three runs, will return later in the summer at an undetermined date with a new host, soap star Alison Sweeney.

Also on tap is "Age of Love," a reality dating series hosted by Kelly Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos, which starts Monday, June 18 at 10.
