Country Music superstars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood return this year to host "The 44th Annual CMA Awards," to air live on Wednesday, November 10 at 8:00 p.m. EST on the ABC network.

This is the third time the duo has stepped up with hosting duties, and both are set to give "Country Music's Biggest Night" their all. "The CMAs are different from any other awards night," Paisley said. "You're looking at a roomful of people who love each other."

"It's all about Country Music," said Underwood. "We all live here. This is our community. The CMA Awards are in Nashville, the home of Country Music. It's great to come here and celebrate that every year."

The pair is familiar with the other side of the CMAs—walking home with an award. Paisley has earned a total of 13 CMAs since 2000, while Underwood has taken five of the awards during her career.
