Taye Diggs and Nicole Byer to Host 2022 Critics Choice Awards

The Critics Choice Association has just announced that Take Diggs and Nicole Byer will co-host the 27th annual Critics Choice Awards. 

Diggs is most known for his starring role as Sam Bennett in ABC’s Private Practice, his appearance in Brown Sugar, and for being part of the original Broadway production of Rent. He is currently starring in The CW’s All American.

Byers made her start on MTV’s Girl Code, and has since become known for her hosting ventures across competition shows like Nailed It! and Wiped Out! She also hosts her own podcast called “Why Won’t You Date Me?” and has appeared in a number of supporting roles in comedy series like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Tuca & Berie. Byers’ debut Netflix comedy special, Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo), was recently released, and she will soon star on NBC’s Grand Crew. 

“This is definitely going to be the best Critics Choice Awards show ever,” said CCA CEO Joey Berlin. “Imagine Taye and Nicole up in front of a big, beautiful room full of all the biggest stars in film and television — all dressed to kill, drinking champagne and hoping to win. It’s going to be a blast!”

The 2022 Critics Choice Awards will air on The CW and TBS on January 9th at 7 PM. The official nominations will be revealed later today on December 13th.
