Emmy and Grammy award winner Chris Rock has been tapped to host the BET Awards 2014 set for June 29th in downtown Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live. The awards show will air on the BET Networks beginning at 8pm ET with Stephen G. Hill, Lynne Harris Taylor, and Jesse Collins executive producing.
“I watch the BET Awards every year. It’s one of my favorite award shows combining people from movies, sports, TV and music,” said Chris Rock. “Where else can you get Rick Ross and Michelle Obama in the same room?! The BET Awards is like a party where nothing is off-limits. My peers have done the show, now it’s my turn.”
“We’ve been trying to make this happen for a VERY long while, and we’re ecstatic that Chris Rock will be the host of the BET Awards for the first time,” stated Stephen Hill, President of Music Programming and Specials at BET. “Mr. Rock is a comedic genius with a rapier wit who is a keen observer of pop culture. We’re looking forward to what he is to unleash on June 29th. You will definitely want to meet us at the BET Awards.”
