Watch: Nick Cannon Dishes on "Amazing Mom" Mariah Carey

Nick Cannon won't let anyone utter a bad word about Mariah Carey around him.

The America's Got Talent star stopped by to chat with Maria Menounos, Andy Cohen, Giuliana Rancic and Ross Mathews during the NBCU Cable Upfront red carpet in New York yesterday afternoon and rushed to the defense of his Grammy-winning ex.

When discussing his upcoming show with Oxygen, currently dubbed The Assistants, Cohen joked about how he imagines people would describe Canon as a boss.

"I have a feeling that they would say that he is very demanding but loving and good. I think they would respect him," the Bravolebrity dished. "I don't think it's an easy ride being Nick Cannon's assistant, but I'll tell you what, I'd rather be Nick Cannon's assistant than Mariah Carey's assistant."

After the gasps and the laughs, Cannon replied, "I was waiting for it, I knew that was going to happen at some point."

But things got serious real quick when the father of Dem Babies gushed about Carey, saying, "She's an amazing mother and I know it and the world knows it."

See what else Canon says about the living legend in the video above!
