LOS ANGELES: The 55th annual Primetime Emmy Awards scheduled to be held on 21 September will see a bunch of hosts.
A report in the Hollywood Reporter states that Fox and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) have decided to do something radically different. The comics who have hosted the Emmy telecasts in the past Garry Shandling, Ellen DeGeneres and NBC talk show favourite Conan O'Brien will be among this year's master of ceremonies,
Other co-hosts will include Everybody Loves Raymond's Brad Garrett, Saturday Night Live's Darrell Hammond, Martin Short and Jon Stewart who hosts the satirical news show on CNNThe Daily Show.
Emmycast executive producer Don Mischer was quoted in the report saying that each participant would open a different segment of the broadcast. "Instead of one comedic point of view running through the show, there will be many" he said.
