Black-ish stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson are coming to BET! 

The stars of ABC’s breakout hit are scheduled to host this year’s BET Awards on June 28.

“We can’t think of a better way to ring in 15 years of BET Awards than with the talented on-screen duo of Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross as our hosts,” said BET’s president of programming Stephen Hill in a statement. “They are both comedic geniuses, and we are ready for them to unleash the laughter and good times on June 28. It will be a night to remember.”

Both Ross and Anderson are up for Best Actor/Actresses awards for their roles on ABC’s breakout hit. And it’s no surprise—their on-screen chemistry is unbelievable.

“I look forward to the BET Awards every year,” Anderson said in a statement. “I can’t wait to see all of my peers and the amazing performances that evening. We may even have a few surprises up our sleeves!” (We’ll be ready).

The BET Awards air Sunday, June 28 at 8 p.m. ET on BET.
