Kelly Osbourne is opening up about stepping in for Corinne Foxx on Beat Shazam amid Jamie Foxx's medical emergency.
On Friday's episode of the Today show, the 38-year-old television personality shared how she was happy to fill in for Corinne while Nick Cannon temporarily took over hosting duties on the upcoming season of Fox game show.
"He is one of the most talented incredible human beings in the industry," Osbourne said of Jamie, 55.
"It is such an honor to be asked to keep Corinne's seat warm for her while everything is going on," she added. "It was so much fun. I hope I did her justice."
Earlier this month, Fox confirmed Osbourne and Cannon would be filling in for the father-daughter duo.
"Beat Shazam has been an unscripted mainstay on the Fox schedule for six seasons and counting," the network wrote in a post on Instagram.
"This season, not wanting fans of the game show to miss a minute of the fun, Nick Cannon has offered to fill in as guest host for his friends, Jamie and Corinne Foxx. Kelly Osbourne will be filling in as guest DJ."
The statement concluded, "Everyone at Fox Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery, and we greatly appreciate Nick's willingness to jump in and help this summer."
