Chris told Bossip: “It hurts, lady! It hurts because usually we’d be writing and producing on the show and the fact that we’re going to have to go watch this concert it’s still exciting because Jesse Collins and Janee and Dionn Harmon and even Stephen Hill who invented this, put together a great show. It’s going to be a great concert but my jokes will be missing this year.

Viewers are frantically trying to figure out the host of the BET Awards, but the network has not yet announced who will be hosting. We’ll update this story as soon as the host name leaks, or it is announced on the broadcast. Actor Taraji P. Henson has hosted the awards show over the last two years, but it looks like the company wanted to make a big splash, and is withholding the name of this year’s host as a surprise to viewers.
