Leslie Jones Hosting This Year’s BET Awards For The First Time

BET has revealed that comedian and actress Leslie Jones will serve as the host for this year’s BET Awards. This year marks the 17th anniversary of the iconic awards celebration.

Leslie is a popular comedian who is in her third year of appearing on Saturday Night Live. She’s also starred in Paul Feig’s reboot of “Ghostbusters”, with other film credits that include Chris Rock‘s “Top Five,” Judd Apatow’s “Trainwreck”, the animated film “Sing”, and the upcoming film “Masterminds”. Other comedians who have held this position of hosting the BET Awards include Chris Rock, Mo’Nique, Kevin Hart, and Chris Tucker.

She expressed that she’s very excited to host the awards this year. BET was actually the first network that she appeared on. Being at this year’s BET Awards is like a homecoming for her. It will be exciting to see what surprises she has in store. When Mo’Nique hosted she shocked everyone with a “big girls only” Beyoncé routine. That’s a hard act to follow-up.
