Mike Myers to host MTV Movie Awards

Mike Myers is gearing up for his second turn at hosting the MTV Movie Awards. The Oscars, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild Awards have nothing on the MTV Movie Awards when it comes to handing out the awards audiences really care about. The MTV Movie Awards honor the best kisses, fights, and villains with golden popcorn trophies in a very loose and MTV-ish atmosphere.

Myers, who will soon be seen on the big screen in The Love Guru co-starring Jessica Alba, previously hosted the show in 1997.

In a press release announcing Myers' hosting duties, the actor was quoted as saying, "I've spent the last year and a half of my life having the most fun ever working on The Love Guru, and now I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with Judy McGrath, Van Toffler and Mark Burnett. Hosting the MTV Movie Awards is like a party, but without having to do beer runs in your mom's mini van; we do beer runs in Will Smith's four-story motorhome."

"Mike Myers blew us away last time he hosted the MTV Movie Awards with his lord of the dance and over the top musical productions," added Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks Music, Logo and Films Group. "He keeps creating iconic film characters that have been etched in the minds of MTV's audiences forever. The Love Guru is sure to spur yet another cultural movement, so we're elated to have Mike back as our host."

The 2008 MTV Movie Awards nominees will be announced in May. The show airs live on Sunday, June 1st from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA.
