"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."

Details about Foxx's condition have not been released.

He is currently undergoing treatment at a Chicago physical rehabilitation center.
