<p>It&#8217;s only been a month since #NickCannon announced his shocking departure from his hosting gig at #AmericasGotTalent and it seems to have been a liberating experience for him. </p>
<p>In a recent sit-down with #EntertainmentTonight, Cannon explained in further detail that he decided to leave because he didn&#8217;t want to be defined by any one role he may play throughout his career. </p>
<p>&#8220;The entertainment industry itself [can] compartmentalize you,&#8221; Cannon said. &#8220;[People] get caught in a sense of like, &#8216;You should be happy to be here,&#8217; or, &#8216;It is the dream job. Things like this don&#8217;t come along to everyone.&#8217; But things like that don&#8217;t define me.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for his exit from #AGT, Cannon said that money just didn&#8217;t motivate him to stay and that his decision to leave was well-thought out.</p>
<p> &#8220;I&#8217;ve never operated for monetary gain. Money isn&#8217;t one of the things that moves me or inspires me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I love [money]. I embrace it the way everyone else does on this planet, but I don&#8217;t make decisions based off of it,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;Everything I do is calculated.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who do you guys think could replace Nick at America&#8217;s Got Talent?</p>
