Lego Masters host Will Arnett gets replaced by Nick Cannon for season 6

Will Arnett returned as host for season 5 of Lego Masters, which premiered on FOX on May 19. Just like in the previous four seasons, Arnett welcomed a fresh batch of contestant pairs and guided them through a series of intricate LEGO-based challenges, all in pursuit of the $100,000 grand prize.

Unfortunately, according to a recent statement released by FOX, Arnett won't be returning for the next season and will be replaced by the Masked Singer host Nick Cannon.

According to Deadline, Will Arnett is stepping away from Lego Masters due to scheduling conflicts. Nick Cannon will take over hosting duties for season 6. Notably, the upcoming season will feature the show’s first-ever in-person auditions episode, with Cannon and the Brick Masters on hand to evaluate potential contestants.
