Los Angeles - Stand-up comedian Amy Schumer is all set to host the MTV Movie Awards 2015 at Nokia Theatre here.

The 33-year-old notoriously raunchy Schumer will host the festivities live on April 12, 2015, reported Variety.

"I am honoured to be hosting the awards. I will carry the audience with me like a teen mom #breaktheinternet #breakmywater," Schumer said in a statement provided by MTV.

"I am hosting the @MTV Movie Awards!! #Cheers" she captioned a picture of her on Twitter.

The Award function will feature exclusive moments from upcoming 2015 summer films. Nominations will be announced at a later date. Schumer is the first host in the show's 24 years to make the big announcement herself. The comedian's big break came in 2007 as a contestant on the fifth season of NBC's 'Last Comic Standing', in which she placed fourth. (PTI)
