Team Coco, rejoice. Comedian Conan O’Brien will host the MTV Music Awards on April 13 at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, he revealed on his TBS late-night talk show Conan.
"After eight years of intense negations, I am honored to announce I am hosting MTV’s second most prestigious awards show," he said, poking fun at how the ceremony takes a backseat to the hyped MTV Video Music Awards, which is much more hyped.

Conan jumped on Twitter to talk about his new gig:
I'm excited to host the MTV #MovieAwards on 4/13! I was going to say no, but @Harry_Styles begged me. Please don't ask him to confirm this.
— Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien) March 5, 2014
Hosts in recent years include Rebel Wilson (2013), Russell Brand (2012), Jason Sudeikis (2011), Aziz Ansari (2010) and Andy Samberg (2009). Dennis Miller, Eddie Murphy and Will Smith hosted the first MTV Movie Awards in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
Conan is no stranger to hosting award shows; he hosted the Emmys in 2002 and 2006.
MTV will reveal nominations March 6 at 7 a.m. ET on the show's website. Seen as the younger, rebellious sibling to the Academy Awards, this shindig honors movies and actors with edgier awards such as Best Kiss, Best Fight, Best Scared As Sh*t Performance, Best Hero, Best Villain, Best Gut-Wrenching Performance and more.
Last year for the first time ever, MTV let movie fans vote using Instagram photos and hashtags. MTV launched the Best Hero category in 2012, but the live social voting only accounted for votes coming from Twitter. There's no word on whether this option will return.

"But every single day on my Facebook or on my Twitter, I get some kind of testimonial from somebody who says this song kept me from committing suicide, or this song got me through the cancer treatment for my kids, and that is just so meaningful to us that our song can go and give hugs to people like that." ~ songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez of Frozen's "Let It Go"
"I'm as cool as a cucumber right now. Absolutely. You saw the jump, of course. I mean everyone's talking about the jump, but it's just really truly ‑‑ I was just so ecstatic, so happy for us all. And, you know, it's one of those moments in life where, you know, is he ‑‑ it might not ever happen again, and you're living it, and you're there. It's not a dream. It's a reality. So emotions, physicality just takes over. So, you know, Van Halen: Jump." ~ Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years a Slave
"Just like everybody else, we watched all the YouTubes. We still do. And then to watch the songs, it was sort of a slow climb up, especially with the soundtrack, and it just took over. And that song, 'Let It Go, became sort of anthem for people. So for us it's ‑‑ you know, we love the song, but the fact that the world suddenly could take it and make it their own, it's unbelievable." Peter Del Vecho, producer of Frozen
"And I'm standing here now. It's something that I got to ‑‑ I got a prize for excellence for the work I do in something that's not my job, it's not my hobby and it's not my fad; it's my career. That feels wonderful. And I didn't say it to my ‑‑ it's a very special thing that happened. 1992 I was one week into working on my first job, Dazed and Confused, my father moved on six days into working on my job. Now in hindsight I've looked back, he got to be alive for me doing the one thing that was not my fad, hobby or job, we didn't know it then, but it turned out to be my career, and that's why I was actually ‑‑ he came to my mind tonight in speaking about him. It feels wonderful. Yeah. It feels wonderful." ~ Matthew McConaughey winner of Best Actor for Dallas Buyers Club
