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. Beat Shazam is set to air this summer on Fox.
