The 'Masked Singer' presenter will front the spectacle, which will take place at London's The O2 on September 9th, and he is "honoured" to have been given the gig.
He said: "It’s a huge honour to be hosting the NTAs this year! It still feels like someone has made a wonderful error.
"I really, really love TV and can’t wait to celebrate the best stuff from what’s been a very weird year or so."
The 35-year-old star also joked he is hoping 'The Masked Singer' will be successful on the night so he can present himself with a prize.
He quipped: "I’m also really hoping 'The Masked Singer' wins something so I can present an award to myself.
"That’s a creative narcissist’s dream."
NTA’s Executive Producer Kim Turberville added: "We are so excited to be back to celebrate a remarkable TV year like no other.
"There is a wealth of great television to recognise and we are delighted to have Joel at the helm.
"With his wit and natural charisma, he’ll definitely be bringing a fresh approach to this year’s awards."
Earlier this year, it was announced the NTAs, which usually takes place in January, had been rescheduled for September 9th this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Kim said at the time: "The NTAs will return to The O2 London in September to mark the UK’s best, boldest and most beloved TV shows with a surprise-packed event - and we look forward to seeing you on the night for a celebration like no other."
David Walliams hosted the event in January 2020 after taking over from Dermot O'Leary, who presented the spectacle from 2010 to 2019.
The longlist voting will open on Tuesday (25.05.21) at nationaltvawards.com.
