Jim Carrey named Funniest M.F by Spike TV

Spike TV is to honour comedic actor Jim Carrey by presenting him with the prestigious ‘Funniest M.F.’ award at next month’s 2011 Guy’s Choice. Previous winners of the title include the likes of Anchorman actor Will Ferrell, former star of The Office Steve Carell, and controversial comedian Chris Rock.

“When considering all the motherf**kers working today, we determined that Jim Carrey was by far the funniest of them all,” Spike TV EVP Casey Patterson explained.

“Jim Carrey is a comedic genius who has created some of the most iconic and indelible characters in film and TV. We’re thrilled to be honouring him.”

Carrey rose to fame in comedies like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask, and has since received critical acclaim for his roles in films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I Love You Phillip Morris.

It was recently announced that Just Go With It actress Jennifer Aniston is to be presented with a ‘Decade Of Hotness’ award at the event.

The 2011 Guys Choice will air June 10 at 9pm ET/PT on Spike TV.
