“Jamie Foxx Show, ‘Beat Shazam,’ Returns for Season 7”
“I’m back for an all-new season of ‘Beat Shazam,'” Corinne Foxx says in the first clip of “Beat Shazam” season 7. Then the camera turns slightly to show her father, Jamie, smiling broadly: “Uh, yeah, and I’m back too!”
Jamie was admitted to the hospital on April 11, 2023. The cause remains unknown, but his illness prevented him from hosting the final season of the show. Nick Cannon was guest host, while Kelly Osbourne filled in for Corinne as DJ.
But now the father-daughter duo is back in action and Jamie is looking in rare form!
In the first look of the show above Page Six, Jamie jogs, skips and even pushes around the stage, displaying a vitality that many feared would never return after what he went through.
