Ryan Seacrest reported this week that SNL actor Jason Sudeikis will host the MTV Movie Awards, which will be held in June. Ever since 1992, the MTV Movie Awards have been the anti-award show, not only because they created new categories like Best Kiss and Best Fight, but also because of the random people they’ve chosen to host the show. And while it makes sense for Sudeikis to host since he’s one of many male comedians on the brink of movie-stardom to emcee the event, there have been some odd choices (and odder co-host pairings) throughout the years. Like Sarah Michelle Gellar co-hosting with Jack Black in 2002? That’s weird, even by Buffy standards. Or Lisa Kudrow in 1999. Yes, it made sense at the time but we’ve totally blocked it from our memory.
Check out our gallery of the other hosts of the Movie Awards in past years and let us know if you think Sudeikis will be one of the better hosts, or if he’ll be totally forgettable. Like the coupling of Jon Lovitz and Courteney Cox. Betcha didn’t remember that they co-hosted in 1995.
