Webby Awards

‘Parks And Recreation’ Star Nick Offerman Will Host The 20th Annual Webby Awards

Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman has been named host of this year’s Webby Awards ceremony.

Offerman “perfectly captures the creativity and ingenuity that the Webby Awards love to recognize,” executive director David-Michel Davies told The Hollywood Reporter, which was first to report the news. Offerman won a Television Critics Association Award for his work on Parks, as well as a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination for his work in FX’s Fargo series.

Past Webby hosts — who are tasked with enforcing the awards show’s infamous five-word acceptance speeches — include Hannibal Buress

, Rob Corddry, Lisa Kudrow, and Patton Oswalt. Winners of the 20th annual Webby Awards — including Tyler Oakley, Jimmy Fallon, and Making A Murderer — were announced on April 26. The show will be held in New York City on May 16 and be available to stream online the very next day.
