Community star and The Soup host Joel McHale will host the ESPYs, it was announced Friday on Good Morning America.
McHale previously hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2014.
“I’m thrilled to be hosting the ESPYs. Just ecstatic,” McHale said in a statement, according to ABC News. “After my stunning victory in the Iditarod this year by only using six Bichon Frises and a lamb, I think the sports world saw me as the logical host.” The ESPYs — the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award — will air for the first time on ABC after previously airing on sister cable network ESPN.
