As we gear up for the 2023 BET Awards on Sunday and wait in anticipation to see who will act as the host for this year’s show, we felt it fitting to look back at some of the best hosts from year’s past to wet your whistle.
Chief among them is comedian Mo’nique who put on for the big girls in 2003 as the host, but did it in true Beyonce fashion in 2004. She would later return to host again in 2007.
There’s a reason why Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross were asked to host two years in a row back in 2015-2016: with them you get great checmistry, double the laughs, and double the fun. Who doesn’t want that!
You know we couldn’t slide out of the top five without putting the only queen we acknowledge on the list. Her fly fits alone as host back in 200 deserve a spot.
Two Kings of Comedy on one stage to kick off the first ever BET Award in 2001 and 2002?? ‘Nuff said.
You can never go wrong selecting a Wayans brother (or sister!) as a host for an event and the 2006 BET Awards showed you why.
