The CMA Awards Announced "Hosting Icons" Are Returning for This Year's Show, and Fans Have Thoughts

The countdown is officially on to Country Music's Biggest Night! The CMA Awards air on November 8, and as we wait for all of the incredible performances and fashion moments, one big question about the night has been answered: Who is hosting?

The roster of CMA Awards hosts sounds like a who's who of the country music industry, with names like Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, Willie Nelson, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Kenny Rogers, and more. Last year, the awards show stepped away from tradition and named a host from outside the music industry when NFL star Peyton Manning took over the duties along with Luke Bryan.

It's official: Luke and Peyton are returning to host again this year. The CMA Awards announced the news with a hilarious video.

Luke and Peyton are shown riding off into the sunset and reminiscing about their hosting days when Peyton receives a call asking them to host again. Luke says, "If I turn my back on the CMA Awards, what kind of hosting icon would I be?" The two agree to return, and then Luke struggles to dismount his horse.

Fans hit the comments section and left messages like, "Can't wait you guys are so funny ❤️😍" and "November 8th cannot come fast enough!!! 🤠🏆🎵🎶" Other fans took the opportunity to make fun of Luke's horseback riding skills: "Good lord... please tell me a country boy knows how to ride a daw gone horse 🐴 🤦🏻♀️🤣 @lukebryan."

You'll have to tune in to see what these two have in store. The 57th annual CMA Awards air on November 8 on ABC.
