The news was announced by ABC network as well on Monday morning, with Kimmel saying “I have a feeling I'm going to be great", reports dailymail.co.uk. 
 
Kimmel, who interviewed Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra on his show last week, will be hosting the awards event for the second time. He hosted it in 2012, the last time ABC had broadcast it.
