Talk-show host Jerry Springer (Dancing With the Stars) is taking on another TV program. He'll be the new frontman of America's Got Talent, NBC executive Craig Plestis announced Monday.

Mr. Springer is "the perfect ringmaster" for the talent competition, Mr. Plestis said in a statement. "To say the least, he is known for presiding over an unpredictable show where the unexpected is the typical order of each day."

Mr. Springer has hosted The Jerry Springer Show for 16 years.
