THE UNSTOPPABLE TIFFANY HADDISH TO HOST "2018 MTV MOVIE & TV AWARDS" ON MONDAY, JUNE 18 AT 9:00 P.M. ET/PT

New York, NY (February 22, 2018) - MTV today announced that actress, comedian and New York Times bestselling author Tiffany Haddish will host the "2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards" on Monday, June 18 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The 2018 categories and nominees will be announced at a later date.

Tiffany Haddish is quickly establishing herself as one of the most sought-after actresses and comedic talents in television and film. She exploded onto the scene after her breakout performance in the blockbuster hit "Girls Trip;" recently released a New York Times bestselling book The Last Black Unicorn; and late last year became the first black female stand-up comedian to host "Saturday Night Live." Haddish's viral appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" led her to become the face of Groupon and appear in the company's 2018 Super Bowl commercial.

Haddish is set to star opposite Tracy Morgan in the TBS sitcom "The Last OG" and alongside Kevin Hart in Universal's "Night School," premiering later this year.

Official sponsors of the "2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards" include MTN DEW(R), Taco Bell(R), Toyota and truth(R).
