"Nick Lachey has said he enjoys hosting The Sing-Off so much he finds it difficult to describe it as &amp;quot;work&amp;quot;.  The former 98 Degrees singer will host this Monday&amp;#039;s live finale on NBC, when the remaining three groups - Pentatonix, Urban Method and the Dartmouth Aires - will battle for a Sony Music recording contract and $200,000 (\u00A3129,355) prize. Speaking to reporters recently, Lachey said: &amp;quot;When you&amp;#039;re a musician and you come from a singing background, specifically one that focused a lot on a cappella music as I have, it&amp;#039;s just a real joy to be around so many talented people and talented groups who have a passion for what they do.  &amp;quot;They just love what they do and that passion, that excitement, and that energy is just contagious for me as a host and I think it&amp;#039;s certainly contagious for the judges week in and week out.&amp;quot;  Lachey added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really hard to call it work oftentimes, because it really is just so much fun to be a part of something that celebrates great music like The Sing-Off does.&amp;quot; As for what he would describe as his &amp;#039;wow&amp;#039; moment of the season, he said: &amp;quot;Not to take anything away from talent in past years, because it&amp;#039;s been phenomenal every time we&amp;#039;ve had a chance to do The Sing-Off, but I think you got a feeling this year that right from the beginning of the season, the talent level on this season was just phenomenal and the competition, as a result, was so close to call.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve said this multiple times, but I&amp;#039;m just so glad I&amp;#039;m not at the end of the decisions they&amp;#039;ve had to make along the way - they had to be excruciatingly tough.&amp;quot; Lachey added: &amp;quot;I just think that to me, the thing that stands out the most about our experience this season is just the absolute stiff competition week in and week out, and trying to make these decisions on what groups are staying and which are going.&amp;quot; The Sing-Off will crown its winner tonight (Monday, November 28) at 8/7c on NBC. &amp;gt; Sing-Off Afro-Blue interview: &amp;#039;The possibilities for us are endless&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s full Sing-Off headlines Watch a promo for the finale below:   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
