Andy Samberg Named MTV Movie Awards Host

FROM MTV.COM: Andy Samberg has rapped about his plans for drowsy weekends, placed his private parts in a box and gotten a little too aroused while still fully dressed. Now the "Saturday Night Live" funnyman and star of digital shorts like "Lazy Sunday," "Di-- in a Box" and "Ji-- in My Pants" is bringing his unorthodox, always entertaining talents to MTV as host of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, May 31.

"I'm super excited to host the movie awards," Samberg said in a statement. "I grew up watching the show and a lot of the past hosts are heroes of mine. Plus, my friends [in the Lonely Island troupe] and I were writers for the show prior to working at 'SNL,' so it will be a sweet and satisfying homecoming. I can't wait to act really important."
