Comedian-actor Katt Williams will return as host of BET’s “Hip Hop Awards,” Multichannel News reports. The show will air Oct. 23 on the network. Williams’ television work includes stints on “The Tracy Morgan Show” and “My Wife and Kids.” Williams is perhaps best known for roles in feature films “Norbit” and “First Sunday” and his “It’s Pimpin’ Pimpin’” comedy tour.
