Today, CMT announced that the sportscaster Erin Andrews and the Houston Texans Defensive End, J.J. Watt will be teaming up in hosting the awards ceremony together on June 8th.
This is the second year in a row that Erin has co-hosted the award show and she said, “I’m thrilled to come back to Nashville to co-host the CMT Music Awards. I had so much fun last year, and I can’t wait to see what antics J.J. and I will get into together. Plus, there’s nothing better than seeing my favorite country artists get recognized for their great work.”

We’ve all seen J.J. Watt on a variety of TV shows as a guest and on a slew of TV commercials, but he’s never hosted a TV show or co-hosted a show before.
And as far as Erin goes, she is currently working as a host for FOX College Football and also with Dancing with the Stars for ABC, the show that wrapped up last night for the season.
J.J. says, “Having presented at the CMT Awards last year, I got a first-hand look at the energy and excitement of the event and I am very excited to be involved in a much larger capacity this year as co-host. There are two things that I know about the people of Nashville… they love country music and they how to throw a party. When you put those two things together, it makes for one heck of a night. I can’t wait to host the awards with Erin and be part of such a great night, honoring the biggest stars in country music.”
If you’re a country music fan then you can vote until June 6th at 12:01 a.m. ET. and once again, the CMT Music Awards airs live on June 8 at 8 p.m. ET.
