LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The People’s Choice Awards and CBS announced today that award-winning
actress Jane Lynch will host PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS 2016, airing live
from the Microsoft Theater L.A. Live on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 (9:00-11:00
PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. Lynch stars in the
upcoming CBS comedy “Angel From Hell,” scheduled to premiere in February
2016.

“As a people myself, I’m thrilled to take on hosting duties of the only
awards show that celebrates the choice of the people!” said Lynch.

Lynch is a four-time People’s Choice Award nominee and won for Favorite
TV Comedy Actress in 2011.

The final nominees across 65 categories for PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS 2016
will be announced at the annual Nominations Announcement Press
Conference on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at the Paley Center for Media in
Beverly Hills.

“Angel From Hell” is a new comedy centered around Amy (Lynch), Allison
(Maggie Lawson) and their unusual friendship. Amy, a colorful, brassy
woman, insinuates herself into the life of an organized and seemingly
perfect young woman, Allison, claiming to be her “guardian angel.”
Though more-than skeptical at first, all of Amy’s warnings seem to come
true, making Allison think, “what if Amy really is her guardian angel?”
