MTV said Aziz Ansari, the 27-year-old star of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” will host the awards on June 6.

Network general manager Stephen Friedman said viewers loved Ansari on “Human Giant,” the sketch comedy show he created, which ran on MTV for two seasons in 2007 and 2008.

Friedman called Ansari the perfect host for “the movie industry’s most rebellious night on television.”

The MTV Movie Awards honor the year’s best films in categories including best kiss, best fight and best global superstar.
