Actress and comedian Leslie Jones has been named the host of the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
In addition to hosting the star-studded night, Jones is also nominated for best comedic performance for her role in Eddie Murphy’s “Coming 2 America.” Jones brings a plethora of hosting experience to the show, making its return since being postponed last year due to the coronavirus outbreak. Jones is the host and executive producer of ABC’s “Supermarket Sweep” reboot. She previously hosted the 2017 BET Awards and is a Saturday Night Live alum.
