AceShowbiz - Academy of Television Arts & Scienes has found a host for the upcoming 67th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The "Saturday Night Live" alum Andy Samberg is tapped to emcee the prestigious event which will take place September 20. He assumes the role carried by Seth Meyers last year.
"Buckle your seat belts, Emmy viewers!" he said. "Like, in general you should buckle your seat belts in your car. In fact, even if you're not an Emmy viewer, you should buckle your seat belt. It can be dangerous on the road. Also, if you're not an Emmy viewer, you should strongly consider becoming one this year, because I'm hosting, and it's gonna be a wild ride. So buckle your seat belts."
"It's wonderfully fitting that we have Andy Samberg, an Emmy Award winner himself, as our host for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards," said Bruce Rosenblum, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy. "Andy has excelled in all aspects of the television universe, both from behind and in front of the camera. His humor, insights and charisma will be an exciting addition to our annual celebration of television's best and brightest."
