Dudes like Chris Rock.

Spike TV, the home of my favorite show ever, MANswers, announced today the fourth annual “Guys Choice” – a one-night-only event for guys where the year’s most hotly debated rivalries from the world of sports, comedy, film and more go up against one another mano-a-mano with original categories that embody everything that matters in “guydom.” 

The two-hour event pays homage to dude-friendly topics like superstar athletes, the ladies, hilarious comedic performances and legendary rockers. 

Scheduled to tape Saturday, June 5 at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, CA, “Guys Choice” premieres Sunday, June 20 (10:00 PM-Midnight, ET/PT) on Spike TV.

Last year’s “Guys Choice” honorees, nominees and participants included: Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, Ben Stiller, Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., Eddie Van Halen, Quentin Tarantino, Dwyane Wade and Megan Fox. 

This year’s event will honor, among other greats, the comedic genius of Chris Rock and bestow him with the title of “Funniest M.F.” 

Spike TV will celebrate Rock’s remarkable body of work as a comedian, writer, actor, producer and an insightful spokesperson for the millions of less funny people who love him. 

The “Funniest M.F.” speech has become a signature of “Guys Choice” and Spike TV and previous winners include Will Ferrell and Steve Carell.
