Houston Texans star J.J. Watt showed up at the CMT Awards last year as a presenter and met bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Watt will be back at the CMT Awards in 2016, but he'll have a much more significant role. CMT announced Wednesday that Watt will co-host the award show June 8th with Erin Andrews.

"There are two things that I know about the people of Nashville: They love country music and they know how to throw a party," Watt said. "When you put those two things together, it makes for one heck of a night."

NASCAR's Danica Patrick will also be a part of the show as an award presenter.
