After being postponed over the summer, the long-awaited Emmy Awards ceremony is right around the corner, and the show now has a host on board: Anthony Anderson.
Fox and the Television Academy announced Dec. 13 that the comedian will serve as host of the 75th Emmy Awards.
"With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves. And there’s no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards,” the actor said in a statement.
Anderson inserted even more humor into his statement, saying, "When Fox asked me to host this historic telecast, I was over the moon that Taylor Swift was unavailable, and now I can’t wait to be part of the biggest night in television."
