Tracy Morgan to Host Billboard Music Awards

Dare we hope for a rendition of "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" for old times' sake?

"30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan will take on hosting duties for the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, to be broadcast live from Las Vegas' MGM Grand on May 19.

"I'm honored to be a part of one of music's biggest nights," the "SNL" alum said in a statement. "When you look at the artists who have come up through Billboard over the years, it's incredible. And how can you say no when Prince is going to be there!"

In addition to Prince, who is receiving the Billboard Icon Award, Morgan will join a star-studded lineup of performers including Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Miguel.

No stranger to controversy for his out-there stand-up style, we have a feeling Tracy Jordan's alter ego won't shy away from offending anyone on this occasion either.

ABC will air the awards live on Sunday, May 19, at 8 p.m. E.T.

Cue the 10-second delay.
