Andy Samberg to Host MTV Movie Awards

Andy SambergAndy Samberg is going to host this year's MTV Movie Awards.
Andy Samberg is set to front the 18th annual edition of the cheeky awards show—which will likely be dominated by all things Twilight and Dark Knight—on May 31 at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, Calif.

"Andy Samberg has been tapped to be the host," E! News' Ryan Seacrest revealed this morning. "He's great."

"I'm super excited to host the Movie Awards," the comic cutie said in a statement. "I grew up watching the show and a lot of the past hosts are heroes of mine. Plus my friends and I were writers for the show prior to working at SNL, so it will be a sweet and satisfying homecoming. I can't wait to act really important."
Andy Sandberg has also had a number of digital short hits from SNL including Chronicles of Narnia (Lazy Sunday) and I'm on a Boat. It will be fun to see what he does spoofing the big movies.
