Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Eliss Ross have been revealed as this year’s hosts at the 2015 BET Awards.
Earlier today, the cable network announced that the duo who also play husband and wife on the hit ABC comedy series are also nominated for their TV roles.
“I look forward to the BET Awards every year!” Anderson, 44, said in a statement released by BET. “Tracee and I are going to have so much fun this year celebrating 15 years in black entertainment television … I can’t wait to see all of my peers and the amazing performances that evening. We may even have a few surprises up our sleeves!”
“I’m thrilled to be hosting the 15th annual BET Awards alongside my on-screen husband Anthony, and am so honored to also be a nominee!” Ross, 42, said. “The BET Awards always deliver an epic evening with the best of the best across movies, sports, TV and music.”
This is Anderson’s second big hosting gig of the year. In February, the funnyman hosted the 2015 NAACP Image Awards, where he and Ellis won individual honors for their roles on Black-ish and the series received the award for Outstanding Comedy Series.
In addition to Ellis and Anderson, other 2015 BET Awards nominees include Empire stars Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard and Jussie Smollett, hip hop heads Iggy Azalea, Azealia Banks and Nicki Minaj and pop singers Rihanna and Beyoncé.
The 2015 BET Awards kick off at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on June 28 at 8 p.m. ET. Will you be watching?
