As fans of Beyonce, Jay Z, Drake, and more rejoiced at news of their fave leading the nominee pack for the 2014 BET Awards, spectators anxiously awaited news on who the year’s host and lifetime achievement award recipient would be.

Well, wonder no more.

For, just moments ago, BET took to Twitter to unveil news that the 14th annual showing of the BET Awards would be hosted by none other than legendary comedian Chris Rock.

Remembered most for his standup comedy and controversial hosting duties of the MTV Video Music Awards over a decade ago, we can say that if those showings are any indication, this year’s awards may be the most memorable yet.

While we await news on who this year’s lifetime achievement award recipient will be (we’ll keep our fingers crossed for Tina Turner or Janet Jackson), tell us:

  7. Stephy Tha Lambily May 14, 2014

    Great News! I Can’t wait! BET Awards are my favorite award show after The Grammy’s…

  8. old school May 14, 2014

    I want Janet to get the Lifetime Achievement Award. I was waiting on for them to announce who the recipient was going to be but they never announced it.

    • Stephy Tha Lambily May 14, 2014

      That would be GREAT! I hope they don’t pick another old old old person from like the 1950s lol

  9. old school May 14, 2014

    Janet Jackson for the Lifetime Achievement Award.

  10. whut May 14, 2014

    Omg, he’s going to be reading to the FILTH. Solange, Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye, Kim, Drake, no one is safe lol.

  11. whut May 14, 2014

    …and Janet Jackson for the Lifetime Achievement Award. Although I will be equally happy if Tina Turner gets it.

    • old school May 14, 2014

      I don’t mind Tina Turner but I feel like it’s bad timing because Bey & Jay might be there and we know that Jay reference eat the Anna Mae in their song and with the whole Jay & Solange elevator fiasco, I just like that would be kind of disrespectful to Tina and the domestic violence thing. I feel like something else should be more appropriate for Tina. Just saying

      • old school May 14, 2014

        Typo
        *Jay Z reference eat the cake Anna Mae* in the song

  12. RihIcon May 14, 2014

    They couldn’t get him Some Chapstick before the photoshoot?
    But idk if I’ll be watching or not.

  13. MissMaam May 14, 2014

    Inviting Mo’Nique back or having Sommore as the host would have been better.

    • Molly May 14, 2014

      Yes

  14. BEYFLAWLESS May 14, 2014

    bey jay solo .. chris brown watch for the joke and the clippers guy

  15. BabyJordan May 14, 2014

    JANE JANET JANET!!! Got your rich ass back her to accept the award you deserve.

  16. Mark111 May 14, 2014

    The LAST VMAs that was good was the show Rock hosted in 03, so this is a great move for BET. And he’ll have enought clowns to clown on.
