Danica Patrick will be the first female host of the EPSY Awards! She announced the big news to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
"I have a thing for doing things for the first time as a woman," Danica said on Tuesday night. "So I'm going to be the first woman to host the ESPYs."
"You'll be fantastic," Jimmy told the pro race car driver. Danica made a name for herself by being the first (and only, as of now) woman to win an IndyCar Series race.
"Oh, my God, I need some advice, talk to me," she joked with the TV host. Jimmy's hosted not only the Tonight Show but the Emmys and the Golden Globes, too.
