Pitbull to Host American Music Awards 2014
Mr. Worldwide is taking over the AMAs once again.
Pitbull will host the American Music Awards 2014 on Nov. 23, where he’ll also perform a song from his upcoming album, Globalization.
"World, who would have thought Pitbull hosting the AMAs two years in a row," said Pitbull, in a statement. "The harder I work, the luckier I get. Thank you ABC and dick clark productions for the amazing opportunity — more than anything, let's get ready to have fun. Dale!"
"Pitbull is a global superstar and multi-talented powerhouse, who delivered one of the most exciting shows in American Music Awards history when he hosted in 2013. This year will be no different," added show producer Larry Klein. "We’re working together to create elements of the show that will wow audiences and take the night to a whole new level."
Pitbull and Charli XCX are the only confirmed performers so far, but more acts are expected to be announced as we get closer to the show, which is the world’s biggest fan-voted award show.
The American Music Awards 2014 will broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and air live on ABC beginning at 8:00 PM ET, with the Coca-Cola Red Carpet LIVE! @ The 2014 AMAs pre-show preceding at 5:00 PM ET online at Yahoo Live, TheAMAs.com and ABC.com.
Given the ratings success of the 2013 show, Pitbull is a solid choice to bring back, although it's hard to know just how much of that success could be contributed to Pitbull's hosting capabilities. But hey, if it ain't broke...
