Chris Rock has successfully hosted the MTV Video Music Awards twice, and even made it to the Oscar stage back in 2005. Now the hilarious stand-up will join the likes of Jamie Foxx, Monique, D.L Hughley & Kevin Hart as host of the 2014 BET Awards.

"I watch the BET Awards every year," he told the Los Angeles Times. "It's one of my favorite awards shows, combining people from movies, sports, TV and music. Where else can you get Rick Ross and Michelle Obama in the same room? The BET Awards is like a party where nothing is off limits. My peers have done the show, now it's my turn."

You can catch the BET Awards on June 29th at 8pm, broadcast live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
