Hannibal Buress, not Patton Oswalt, to host this year’s Webby Awards
Concluding Patton Oswalt’s three-year run of leading the Internet’s most prestigious circle jerk, Hannibal Buress will step in as host of the 2015 Webby Awards. The event’s 19th edition will take place on May 18 in New York City and stream online the next day at WebbyAwards.com. Because you’re reading this article on the Internet, you’re probably aware that Buress’ star has been rising lately—in addition to his recurring roles on Broad City and The Eric Andre Show, he’s always showing up in various corners of the web to review the experience of being on a boat, eviscerate hecklers, and perhaps most satisfyingly, put Justin Bieber in his place.
