room?! The BET Awards is like a party where nothing is off limits. My peers have done the show now it’s my turn.

Stephen Hill, President of Music Programming and Specials at BET said: 

We’ve been trying to make this happen for a VERY long while, and we’re ecstatic that Chris Rock will be the host of the BET Awards for the first time. Mr. Rock is a comedic genius with a rapier wit who is a keen observer of pop culture. We’re looking forward to what he is to unleash on June 29th. You will definitely want to meet us at the BET Awards.
