Forget the Oscars, the Emmys, or the Grammys, the toughest hosting gig in Hollywood is the MTV Movie Awards, which will air live for the first time ever this Sunday (8PM/7C). So what advice does two-time host Jimmy Fallon have for new emcee Sarah Silverman? None. “Sarah doesn’t need my advice. She’s awesome,” the “Fever Pitch” star told MTV News. “If you’ve seen her stuff you know how great she is.”
Fallon memorably co-hosted the irreverent awards show alongside “Spider-Man’s” Kirsten Dunst in 2001 and by himself in 2005, spoofing some of the biggest names in show business with movie parodies of “Star Wars,” “The DaVinci Code,” and “Batman Begins”…ensuring that the all-star event was a must-see.
Fallon gushed that Silverman’s mere presence means the same thing. “I will definitely be watching,” he said.
In addition to Silverman, the show boasts appearances from Jessica Biel, Shia LaBeouf, Cameron Diaz, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jessica Alba. Also at the big show, Amy Winehouse will perform her international hit “Rehab,” while Jay-Z and Rihanna will sing “Umbrella.”
Who’s your favorite host of the MTV Movie Awards, and how does Silverman stack up? Sound off below.
