The comedian, writer, actress and producer will emcee the virtual ceremony on Sunday, March 20.
Ashley Nicole Black will host the 2022 Writers Guild Awards, it was announced Tuesday.
The comedian, writer, actress and producer is also a nominee this year for her work on season two of Apple TV+’s“I am honored to have the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of my fellow union members,” Black said in her statement, before poking fun at the fact that the show wouldn’t be in person. “Even if it’s a little unfair that, since it’s virtual, I’ll be the only one who has to put on Spanx.
The awards show’s executive producer Hugh Fink added in his own statement, “Getting the superbly talented Ashley Nicole Black to host this year’s show is the definition of pulling off a coup. What Ashley doesn’t realize is that for this year’s show, by pure coincidence, we’ve required all nominees and presenters to also wear Spanx.”Full Frontal With Samantha Bee
