Rap-Up.com || Bow Wow Named New Host of ‘106 & Park’

Bow Wow is coming home to “106 & Park.” Following the departure of Terrence and Rocsi last week, the 25-year-old rapper-actor has been named one of the new hosts of BET’s “106 & Park.”

He made his debut today alongside three other co-hosts, putting an end to the speculation. Nicknamed “Mr. 106 & Park,” Bow Wow has the most appearances in the show’s 12-year show history and has guest hosted several times.

After a nationwide search, BET selected Ms. Mykie, 23; Paigion, 24; and Shorty Da Prince, 23 as his co-hosts. Ms. Mykie, hailing from Houston, TX, Paigon, and Shorty Da Prince, both from Detroit, competed against thousands of hopefuls to earn their spot. They will join Bow Wow five nights a week from BET’s studios in New York City.

“I am very excited to take on this new journey in my career with BET. I’m all about branding myself and not just in music, but in TV and movies,” said Bow Wow, who is readying his Cash Money debut Underrated. “Everyone always wants to compare me to the Fresh Prince, well now they can call me the Fresh Prince of 106 & Park. Get ready for a whole new world.”

During his first day on the job, Bow Wow interviewed Keke Palmer and bonded with his co-hosts. “It’s official. We ain’t goin’ nowhere,” he said. “We gonna represent hip-hop, the culture, fashion, lifestyle.”

Nothings wrong with Bow Wow being the new host. Especially since he’s been growing with the show. Thats extra money for him.

Good Job BET

I think BET picked a great team to carry on the show in an even better way than Terrance and Rocsi did. Although I miss those two, I really enjoyed the show today!

So Terrence takes a step up with his acting career and new job at E! news while Bow Wow hits rock bottom… Why does he need to do this show? His net worth is 42 Million smh…

@Hip-Hop Fiend, Nothing else to do. He could sit at home and blow his money on cars, sneakers, or try to keep the income with probably a $50,000 annual contract with BET lol.

Well Cash Money ain’t never releasing his album, and those acting jobs are probably slim to none (other than indie low-budget black films)…so I guess he took what he could. It’s kind of embarrassing though when you think about all the success he’s had at the start of his career, to hosting a show on its last leg like 106 & Park. SHAME.

No wonder BET is in a ratings graveyard. They bring in the worst people to host these dumbed down shows.

I think BET as a whole has hit a all time LOW. all they do is show old tv shows and movies.

“106 & Park” goes into the same category as “TRL”. This show should have came to an end after Rocsi and Terrance left.

When it comes to “ratings”, I don’t ever think BET will hit the ratings MTV and VH1 hit until they learn how to
market their “brand” better. They made this whole channel into a joke.

And Bow Wow needs to understand that he’s been in the game since 2000, releasing music almost EVERY year, and
when you pack that much music on the general public without taking any breaks, then i’m pretty sure people will get
kinda tired of you. He need’s to go on a hiatus, focus on his acting, and get himself together. Seem’s like people had
more respect for him when he was little then they do now. And that’s sad..

@comeATmeBRO, 106 & Park actually started to exceed TRL in ratings big time during the last 3 or 4 years it aired, that’s why TRL got canceled and 106 & Park stayed around. When they would come on and say “The #1 Music Countdown Show”, it was true.

@TRP, So your telling me TRL came to a end because ANOTHER show on ANOTHER channel was getting better ratings then them?

TRL came to an end because it was time for it to come to an end, the show had been around for years, and i’m pretty sure the shows ratings wasn’t as high as they were from the start, the show got old. SAMETHING WITH 106.

October 2nd, 2012 at 9:13 am
Cash Money doesnt even want to release this dudes album and now that hes hosting 106 and Park i doubt it will ever drop. I was actually looking forward to hearing underrated but if his label doesnt want to release it that must mean it aint even that good lol.
