Joel McHale, mostly known for hosting “The Soup” on E! and for his role as Jeff Winger on “Community,” will host the 2015 ESPYS. Presented by Capital One, the event will be transmitted live on ABC from the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on Wednesday July 15 at 8 PM.
McHale, who hosted last year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, will this time be joined by top athletes and celebrities to commemorate the past year in sports by recognizing major sports achievements, reliving unforgettable moments and saluting the leading performers and performances.
"I’m thrilled to be hosting The ESPYS. Just ecstatic,” said McHale on a press communicate released on Friday morning. “After my stunning victory in the Iditarod this year by only using six Bichon Frises and a lamb, I think the sports world saw me as the logical host.”
The celebration of the best moments from the year in sports kicks off with “SportsCenter at The ESPYS” and “The ESPYS Countdown Show Presented by Capital One” on ESPN prior to the start of the awards. The ESPYS raise more than $1 million annually for The V Foundation, a charity founded by ESPN and the late basketball coach Jim Valvano to promote cancer research.
