June 24 (UPI) -- Comedian and actor Shane Gillis is set to host the ESPY Awards on July 16.
The 33rd annual ceremony will broadcast on ABC and ESPN+ from Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre at 8 p.m. EDT.
Athlete Serena Williams hosted the awards show last year. ESPN presents the ESPYs (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards) to honor athletes and achievements in sports.
ESPN vice president Criag Lazarus said Gillis was "an easy choice" as host due to his love of sports.
"We are thrilled to work with him to create an entertaining show celebrating this year's best moments in sports and are excited to see what he'll do on stage," Lazarus said in a statement.
Gillis stars in Tires on Netflix and is a co-host of Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast.

Less than a month after the last major of the tennis season, the French Open, it's time for Wimbledon 2025! Both of last year's champions, Carlos Alcaraz from the men's bracket and Barbora Krejčíková from the women's bracket, are back to defend their titles, though neither are entering this year's Wimbledon as the No. 1 seed — that'll be Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, who were also the No. 1 seeds at last month's French Open. Sabalenka, the women's No. 1 seed, is entering Wimbledon following a French Open championship loss to the Wimbledon No. 2 seed, Coco Gauff. Advertisement Notably, Alcaraz is coming off a thrilling come-from-behind French Open championship win against Sinner. Being on opposite ends of the Wimbledon draw means the two could only have a rematch of last month's final in the championship of this tournament. It all gets started today at 6 a.m. ET with the first matches of Round 1 action. Due to the time difference between the United States and Paris, matches will air live stateside beginning at 6 a.m. ET most days. ESPN will be the go-to network for this year's Wimbledon coverage.
