Actor and comedian Joel McHale will once again host the 52nd annual Saturn Awards. The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films made the announcement today.

This will be McHale’s third year hosting the Saturn Awards. He will present this year’s ceremony on Sunday, February 2 at The Hilton Universal City Hotel. Fans can watch the event live-stream on Electric Entertainment’s premium OTT app and FAST channel, ElectricNOW, as well as The Roku Channel. 

A statement from Academy President Robert Holguin and Saturn producers Bradley and Kevin Marcus said:

“This marks Joel’s third year as the host of the Saturn Awards. His clever, edgy humor is consistently delivered with charismatic flair, and his ability to make light of both pop culture and everyday situations enhances the overall experience of the Award Ceremony. The Academy warmly welcomes Joel’s ‘threepeat’ as host of our one-of-a-kind show.”

This year’s show is dedicated to the memory of Jon Landau, a long-time friend of the Saturn Awards known for producing blockbuster features like Avatar and Titanic. The 52nd annual awards will also introduce a new category: Best Genre Comedy Television Series.
