Justin Timberlake will host ESPY Awards show
NEW YORK (AP) - March 26, 2008 ESPN has lined up the 27-year-old singer-actor to host its
annual ESPY Awards show this summer, celebrating some of the best
and funniest moments in sports over the past year.
The ceremony, to be held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los
Angeles on July 20, will be televised live on ESPN, the network
said Wednesday.
Timberlake says he's a sports junkie.
"I'll do my best to deliver a great show, as I do not want to
be roughed up backstage by these athletes who are bigger, faster
and stronger than me," he said.
Timberlake will be in the summertime movie, "The Love Guru,"
with Mike Myers and Jessica Alba. He recently showed a different
kind of stage presence when he inducted Madonna into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
