I know Jason is on top of his game right now, selling out his Night Train tour, playing stadiums, but as a co-host? Maybe I should not be so skeptical. I'll be watching and reserve judgement until the Awards air on June 5th. Here's what Jason had to say: “I’m always looking for new challenges, hosting a show has always seemed fun, but it has never felt like the right time. I think now that I’ve checked a few big things off my bucket list recently, I want to keep pushing myself. I’m excited that I’ll have Kristen to lean on, too… She and I have spent a little time together, and she always cracks me up. Plus, I heard she’s got a thing for ‘Big Green Tractors,’ so we’ve got that in common." This is Kristen Bell's second year in a row as co-host. She shared duties last year with Toby Keith. Toby and Scotty Emerick from uso.org Superstar Toby Keith thanks troops and their families by doing a 3 country, 10-day USO tour which began April 28 and runs through May 7. Keith is visiting the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii. His first USO tour in 2002, Keith has performed 11 USO tours and traveled to 15 countries. The country music star has lifted the spirits of 225,984 servicemen and women. During this tour, the singer/songwriter is scheduled to perform seven USO shows solely for military families. Toby said on USO.org that "It feels so good to be back out visiting and performing for our troops in uniform and their families. I've toured a lot in my lifetime but nothing beats traveling with the USO, having the opportunity to uplift the spirits of our nation's service heroes and showing them that America is always by their side no matter where they are in the world."
