Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Fox

Anthony Anderson is going to host the Emmys this Monday on Fox, and he has a special role for his mom, Doris, with whom he co-hosts We Are Family.

He told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m letting people know there will be no play-off music. My mother will be your play-off music. So, please, be respectful. Get up here. Thank your god. Thank your agents, and everybody just make the stage in a timely fashion.”

“And you can’t say no to somebody’s mama,” Emmys producer Jeannae Rouzan-Clay added.

You can’t. So, if you win on Monday, make your speech short or face Anderson’s mom. And that is a fate you do not want.

A post shared by “Weird Al” Yankovic (@alfredyankovic)

Weird Al Yankovic’s life story is so outlandish that Roku turned it into a biopic. Weird: The AL Yankovic Story is so amazing that it won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie yesterday.

So, how did Yankovic celebrate? Did he go to a high-priced fancy restaurant? Nope! He went to In-N-Out, where you can get a fancy burger for a reasonable price!

And that is the perfect way to celebrate being halfway to being an EGOT winner. That, and it is so Weird Al. The man whose story is so ridiculous, it’s hard to believe it is all true.

Fox

Jamie Foxx’s loss is Fox’s and the Emmys’ gain!

Foxx backed out of hosting, We Are Family, on Fox, and Anthony Anderson got the job. Because of that, it made him available to host the postponed Emmys.

So, on January 15th, that is exactly what the actor is going to do.

“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,” said Anthony Anderson. “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.”

Anderson is the perfect choice to host the award show. Not only is he likable, but he is also very funny. And his mom, Doris, better also be part of the night because she is what makes Anthony the best that he can be!

The Andersons show We Are Family debuts January 3rd on Fox.

There were reports that the Emmys were being postponed due to the Actors and Writers strikes, and today Fox confirmed it. They announced the new date for television’s biggest night to Monday, January 15th.

I think that means that we will not be seeing our broadcast scripted shows until January at the earliest. So we won’t know who won’t know how the season finales will be resolved until 2024. Damn you, AMPTP. Just come to the table and agree to a deal. It is not that hard. And every day costs you more than you are saving. It is not worth it to you, them, and us, the viewers.

Now, back to the Emmys. I bet you a dollar that Fox is going to ask Foxx, Jamie Foxx, to host. Since the actor is getting better, and he has the music game show, We Are Family, coming to Fox soon.

Emmys

The Emmys were slated to happen on September 18th, but that is not happening anymore because of the WGA and the SAG-AFTRA strikes, according to Variety.

That is because the actors and the writers cannot promote their shows or telemovies if they are part of a struck company. And almost every nominee is.

Therefore, NATAS is hoping for a November date, but Fox, who is airing the awards show, is planning for January.

But the problem with January is they will get lost in Awards season. However, the benefit is the networks would be able to promote their new and returning show during the Emmys. So I am thinking we will see Ted Lasso accept its final Emmys in 2024.

The last time the Emmys were postponed was in 2001 due to 9/11.
