Comedian and late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien will host this year’s MTV Movie Awards, the lighthearted show that irreverently honors Hollywood’s best moments, the MTV network said on Wednesday.

It will be the first time that O’Brien, 50, will host the annual show, which will take place on April 13 at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. “After eight years of intense negations, I am honoured to announce I am hosting MTV’s second most prestigious awards show,” quipped O’Brien.

Nominations will be announced on Thursday. MTV, which is owned by Viacom Inc, said the show will also feature unseen clips from upcoming summer films.

The MTV Movie Awards offers a cheeky take on Hollywood’s usual black-tie and gown awards season by handing out golden, popcorn-shaped trophies for categories like Best Villain and Best Gut-Wrenching Performance.

The awards categories bestow honours to the year’s blockbuster hits likely to have been overlooked by industry stalwarts the Oscars and the Golden Globes.

Previous MTV Movie Awards hosts include actors Lindsay Lohan and Rebel Wilson, and comedians Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Fallon.
