Sebastian Maniscalco made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and made the special announcement that he will be hosting the MTV VMAs for the first time.

“It’s huge! I’m so excited,” the 45-year-old comedian told Jimmy. “My family is negative, my dad called and said ‘you don’t know nothing about today’s music.’”

“I didn’t really grow up with pop culture music but I think this is going to be fun,” Sebastian added. “MTV wants kind of an unfiltered look of the VMA’s through my eyes.”

The show will be held in New Jersey for the first time ever, taking place on Monday, August 26 at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Sebastian Maniscalco also discussed the birth of his baby boy, falling down the stairs at the Oscars trying to get down from his nosebleed seat for Green Book‘s win.

The 27-year-old model and the 26-year-old former Lab Rats actor both star in the 1980s-inspired flick.

Here’s the synopsis: It’s the Summer of ’87, and Gio (Spencer), an Italian kid from Queens, has little on his mind but cars and girls. Gio thinks he’s got it all figured out until he meets Jessica (Emily), a nice Jewish girl from Long Island who likes to go undercover for illicit thrills on the wrong side of the tracks. An affectionate look at the youth culture of a bygone era, Cruise celebrates the joys of muscle cars, Motorola pagers and endless summer nights.

Written and directed by Robert Siegel, Cruise also stars Sebastian Maniscalco, Lucas Salvagno, Kathrine Narducci, Noah Robbins, and Gino Cafarelli.

It will premiere in theaters and on demand on September 28.
