Music/TV identifier app Shazam announced a television show called Beat Shazam this past fall in which contestants would try to compete to identify a particular hit song before other contestants and the Shazam app itself. Jamie Foxx has now signed on as host of the show, according to the Associated Press. The Oscar-winning actor will return to TV for the first time since The Jamie Foxx Show went off the air in 2001.
