Roselyn Sánchez, the star of Lifetime's hit series "Devious Maids," is set to co-host the upcoming 2015 Latin Grammys, Billboard reported. Sánchez will join Mexican actress and model Jacqueline Bracamontes as the leading ladies for the Nov. 19 ceremony.
"I simply cannot wait for November 19th to have the honor to host the 16th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. To be able to celebrate the best of Latin music with our incredible artists is going to be one of the most memorable nights of my life," Sánchez said in a statement obtained by Entertainment Weekly. "I appreciate the opportunity and I'm very much looking forward to having a fantastic time with my colleagues, friends and fans."
President and CEO of the Latin Recording Academy, Gabriel Abaroa Jr., shared the excitement and said the company is "truly thrilled" to have Sánchez hosting the prestigious awards ceremony for the first time.
"She has been an amazing supporter of the Latin GRAMMY Awards for many years and is passionate about her culture and understands the role music plays in the Latino community," Abaroa Jr., told Entertainment Weekly.
Sánchez is best known for her role as Carmen Luna on "Devious Maids," and she's getting another shot at hosting duties after she pulled out of her hosting gig for the Miss USA pageant in June, as previously reported by HNGN. The Puerto Rican actress announced via Instagram that she would be cancelling her appearance at the event because of the controversial remarks 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump made about Mexican immigrants.
The 2015 Latin Grammy Awards will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. on Univision.
