MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Rob Riggle will host NFL Honors on Feb. 3, when The Associated Press hands out its individual league awards.

Riggle, who recently retired from the Marine Corps Reserve after 23 years of service, has been a staple in comedy for more than 15 years, starring in "The Hangover," ''Step Brothers," and "The Other Guys," among his films. He currently can be seen in "12 Strong," his first dramatic turn.

Riggle has been a correspondent on the Emmy Award-winning "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and a cast member on "Saturday Night Live."
