The 2025 ESPYS are approaching, and a comedian will be at center stage.
Shane Gillis will host the 2025 ESPY Awards, which celebrate the past year in sports. The show will take place Wednesday, July 16 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. local) at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
"I’m excited to be at The ESPYS this year," Gillis said in a statement. "I like sports so this should be a good time."
Gillis will be the first non-athlete to host the show since 2021 when actor Anthony Mackie had the duty. However, the creator and star of the Netflix show "Tires" is an avid sports fan.
"Shane is not only one of the top comedians today, but also a huge sports fan, which made him an easy choice to host The ESPYS,” said ESPN vice president and ESPYS executive producer Craig Lazarus."
