The former member of 98 Degrees is going to host NBC's upcoming a cappella singing competition called 'The Sing-Off' in which the contestants will perform 'naked'.

Nick Lachey, the former member of 98 Degrees, will add a new title to his name, a host. People reported that 37-year-old singer has been assigned by NBC to host a new reality TV singing competition, "The Sing-Off," next December.

About the show that will center on the competition of eight a cappella singing groups, the boyfriend of Vanessa Minnillo told People, "There is nowhere to hide when you're doing an a cappella song. There's no band behind you and dubbing." He continued, "It's just you. It's just them naked on stage and what they have done to prepare is what will show in that moment."

"The Sing-Off" itself will be premiered on December 14 and will follow the singing groups as they battle for an Epic Records/Sony Recording contract. In the show, the contestants are not allowed to use any instrument but their voices. Back in September, auditions for the show have been done in 4 cities starting from New York and ending in Los Angeles.

Beside being known as a boyband member and solo singer, Nick Lacey has also appeared in several TV shows such as "Charmed", "The Hard Easy", and "Twins." Previously, he also starred in reality TV series, "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica", opposite his ex-wife, Jessica Simpson.
