The Miss USA pageant this week announced that Jonas Brother Nick Jonas will be co-hosting the 62nd annual Miss USA pageant. He will be joined on stage by Giuliana Rancic, the co-host of E! News. It will be her third year hosting the event. The pageant will take place on June 16 at the Planet Hollywood casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“We are excited to announce a veteran and a newcomer as hosts for this year’s MISS USA Competition,” said Paula Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization. “The diverse backgrounds of Rancic and Jonas in the entertainment industry will bring a new and exciting energy to the stage.”
In addition to hosting the pageant, Jonas will join his brothers Joe and Kevin on stage to perform during the competition. The Jonas Brothers are reportedly working on a new album, and have scheduled a new North American tour for this summer.
Jonas has confirmed that he will be hosting the Miss USA pageant, and has stated through his Twitter account that he is “excited” for the gig:
