Chelsea Handler will be the first woman to emcee the MTV VMAs since Rosanne Barr in 1994.
Are you there MTV viewers? It's your host, Chelsea.
Chelsea Handler is set to host the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, the network officially announced Thursday morning.
The comedian will be the first woman to emcee the event since Rosanne Barr in 1994.
"This has been a huge year for hip-hop and rap, and it is well-known that I have the closest ties with these communities - musically and sexually," Handler said in a statement. "I am to rap and hippity-hop, what Warren Buffet is to finance, minus the sex."
Other previous hosts include Jimmy Fallon, Jack Black and Russell Brand, who hosted last year.
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, airing live Sept. 12 at 9 p.m., celebrate the best in the music industry. Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake and Ne-Yo, among others, have already been confirmed to present awards.
Handler, 35, is the host of E!'s late-night talk show, "Chelsea Lately" and the author of several bestselling books including, "Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea" and "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang."
