NFL superstar J.J. Watt will tackle the hosting duties at this year’s CMT Country Music Awards alongside Fox Sports broadcaster and “Dancing With the Stars” host Erin Andrews, who presented last year’s show.
The big event airs live on CMT on June 8 at 8 p.m. ET. from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
“I’m thrilled to come back to Nashville to co-host the CMT Music Awards,” Andrews said in a statement. “I had so much fun last year, and I can’t wait to see what antics J.J. and I will get into together.”
Watt was a presenter at last year’s CMT Awards and is a three-time winner of the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award.
