Nick announced last month that he was leaving the show after a falling out with the network over a joke told on a Showtime comedy special.
Tyra was the host of the long-running America's Next Top Model, which ended its run on The CW after 23 seasons.
"Since I was a little girl, I've been obsessed with grandiose acts and performers who make the seemingly impossible possible," Tyra said.
"I love how AGT brings that feeling into everyone's home, capturing the best of people who come out and give it their all to make those big, fierce and outrageous dreams come true. I look forward to connecting with the dreamers, having fun and giving hugs and words of encouragement when needed. And maybe I'll get one or two performers to smize for the audience!"
