Jimmy Kimmel Set to Host the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards
Is Jimmy Kimmel your favorite late-night host? Well, even if he isn't, he has just landed his first gig hosting the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards.
He's previously hosted the American Music Awards and the ESPY Awards. How will Jimmy do?
For me, he can be a little hit or miss. We shall see. The awards kick off on September 23, 2012.
From Deadline:
ABC turned to its late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to emcee the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards. Don Mischer, who produced this year’s Academy Awards with Bryan Grazer, also on ABC, is on board to produce the Emmy telecast on Sept. 23. While he has hosted other awards shows, including the American Music Awards and the ESPY Awards, this is Kimmel’s first time hosting the Emmys. For Mischer, this will be Emmy producing gig No.12. “We love television and look forward to working with the Television Academy and ABC in creating a show that is fast-paced, humorous, unpredictable and at times irreverent, but clearly celebratory of our incredible industry,” Mischer said.Is he the perfect host? Or, would you rather see someone else?
