About Beat Shazam Season 5:
Beat Shazam Season will be premiering on Fox next summer and is set to air every Wednesday at the same time as Masterchef (season 13). The show has been produced by Warner Horizon Television. It was previously known as Knock Off, but it didn’t work out due to legal issues with NBC’s upcoming Unsolved Mysteries reboot. It is hosted by Jamie Foxx, who replaced the show’s previous host Dwayne Carter (Lil Wayne), when he quit before his contract was completed after season three.
