Next time you’re at home sick and you’re lying on the couch watching game shows, don’t freak out when you see that Who Wants to be a Millionaire is now being hosted by a large, black man instead of a skinny white older lady. Cedric the Entertainer has been tapped to take over the syndicated show when it begins filming its 12th season this fall, according to Entertainment Weekly. Meredith Vieira, the former host of Today and The View, is departing after inaugurating the daytime version back in 2002. Maybe she’s leaving to take that vacant Jeopardy hosting job?
