You can quit holding your breath now.

ABC has finally told us who is replacing Meredith Vieira on Who wants to be a Millionaire.  

The network made the announcement this morning.

Stand-up comedian and actor Cedric The Entertainer has been named the new host of the syndicated show. 

Word is he beat out Cedric The Proctologist for the job. We also hear that Cedric The Cook was not happy with ABC's announcement.
