Amy Schumer will host the 24^th annual “2015 MTV Movie Awards” live on Sunday, April 12, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT from Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California. Schumer became the first person to invade all of MTV’s social media accounts and personally make the announcement with her provocative sense of humor to MTV’s footprint of more than 210 million fans. The takeover included an hour of funny and cryptic  Tweets,  Instagrams,  Facebook posts, Vines, Tumblr posts and Snapchats before the big reveal.

“I am honored to be hosting the awards,” said Amy Schumer. “I will carry the audience with me like a teen mom #breaktheinternet #breakmywater.”

Known for her blend of honesty and unapologetic sense of humor, Schumer is the creator, star, writer and executive producer of the Emmy-nominated series, “Inside Amy Schumer” on Comedy Central. The show will return for a 3rd season in April 2015.  Schumer will also take to the silver screen with the July 2015 release of Universal Pictures’ Trainwreck, a comedy that she wrote and developed with director Judd Apatow. Schumer will star in the film alongside Bill Hader, Brie Larson, Colin Quinn, Vanessa Bayer, Tilda Swinton, LeBron James and John Cena.  The film was produced by Apatow and Barry Mendel.

“Wickedly funny and sharply insightful, Amy Schumer is perhaps the most ascendant talent in comedy today and she’s on the brink of an epic year,” said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV. “We are thrilled to work with Amy to create an unpredictable and hilarious showcase for Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters and brightest stars in what promises to be the most combustible ‘Movie Awards’ ever.”
