Sarah Silverman, star of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program, has been announced as the host of this year's MTV Movie Awards:

"Ever since I was a little girl, before it even started in 1980—MTV—I said, 'Someday, I want there to be an all-music channel that gives out awards for movies. And I want to host that show,'" the 36-year-old actress-comedian said in an interview with The Associated Press.

The show will air live June 3 from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.    

How is Silverman preparing for her new gig?    

"I'm getting ready," she said. "I'm exercising every day and I do 10 push-ups, I do eight sit-ups and then I rinse off. … I want to go just a little bit too far."

"I'm training for this the way what's-her-face trained for 'T2,'" said Silverman, referring to Linda Hamilton in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
