I don't know this guy that well, but I've seen some stuff he's been on and he seems like he'll be a good host, so, uh cool!

Awesome, he's really funny and a genuine geek, he straddles the line between being hip and being a nerd - I remember him first from co-hosting MTV's Singled Out, before his career really took off (I blame MTV switching Jenny McCarthy for Carmen "no personality" Electra as his co-host for why his career didn't do even better). His father is one of the top pro bowlers of all time.

First time I really took note of him was in House of 1000 Corpses. I really like him on Talking Dead, he does a fantastic job.
2 weeks ago I saw him at C2E2, promoting his Youtube Nerdist News channel.

Great hire for Celebration 6 !
