Comedian Amy Schumer to Host 2015 MTV Movie Awards

The 2015 MTV Movie Awards will broadcast live on Sunday, April 12, 2015, and comedian Amy Schumer just announced she will be hosting the event!

Schumer took over all of MTV's social-media channels this evening to tease the announcement.

"I am honored to be hosting the awards," she said in a statement, according to Variety. "I will carry the audience with me like a teen mom #breaktheinternet #breakmywater."

"Wickedly funny and sharply insightful, Amy Schumer is perhaps the most ascendant talent in comedy today and she's on the brink of an epic year," MTV president Stephen Friedman said. "We are thrilled to work with Amy to create an unpredictable and hilarious showcase for Hollywood's biggest blockbusters and brightest stars in what promises to be the most combustible Movie Awards ever."

Schumer created, writes, produces and stars in Comedy Central's Inside Amy Schumer, which will come back for its third season this spring. Among her upcoming projects is the movie Trainwreck, which she wrote with Judd Apatow; she will also star.

Nominations for the 2015 Movie Awards will be announced soon.
