“Damn. How did I get here? I mean, just a few days ago I was with my family in the snow, playing, having a good time,” ponders Cannon in the clip. “All of a sudden I start swelling up, having shortness of breath, excruciating pain in my right side and I wake up in the hospital with a bunch of doctors telling me I got kidney failure.”

During the duration of the clip, a collage of images show Cannon working out, recording music and getting medical treatment. The host of “America’s Got Talent” also speaks candidly from his hospital bed about his kidney failure, his new diet and other tidbits.

Get better, Nick Cannon!
