"We are really excited for Patton Oswalt to bring his comedic genius to the Webbys," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of the awards. "Patton is the rare comedian who is just as funny online as on a stage. As we push the boundaries of integrating the audience at home with the live show we think Patton is uniquely suited to be this year's Webby host."
