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.
Because of the strikes, the broadcast networks were not able to debut a majority of their shows in the Fall. Therefore, they had to hold them until 2024. Today, Fox announced when their scripted live-action series will debut in March.
Along with the announcement, Fox revealed that Family Guy is moving to Wednesdays at 9:30p after Joel McHale’s Animal Control, which both have The Masked Singer as a lead-on. Fox already announced that Rita Ora will be filling in for Nicole Scherzinger this season.

The Masked Singer has had some shocking people on there, like Dick Van Dyke, Rudy Guilliani, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and so many more. But tonight’s unmasking left me with my jaw on that floor.
That is because it was tennis legend and feminism activist Billie Jean King. I don’t think I have ever seen her do a reality show.
And this was the perfect one to start with. Because tonight was Elton John Night, and she sang Philadelphia Freedom, a song Elton wrote for her.
I hope Elton was as happy to hear her sing it as she was to sing it for all of us! I have so much luv for her and her singing!
Jon Hamm is coming to Fox on January 7th. But you are not going to recognize him. That is because he is playing an animated detective in Grimsburg.
Grimsburg, starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men), centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferociousex-wife and his lovably unstable son.
Grimsburg also stars Erinn Hayes, Alan Tudyk, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Rachel Dratch.
It has been about five months since most of the broadcast shows learned their fate, and today, Welcome to Flatch finally learned if Fox will ask for a third season of the mockumentary series. And the answer is they will not.
“While audience response was not as strong as we had hoped, we were thrilled with the creativity of the enormously talented Jenny Bicks and Paul Feig, as well as the outstanding, dedicated cast and crew they assembled,” Fox said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “We look forward to collaborating with them again in the future and are thankful for all of our partners at Lionsgate, Jenny’s Perkins Street Productions, Paul’s Feigco Entertainment, BBC Studios’ Angie Stephenson, and Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper.”
Personally, I couldn’t even get through an episode of the show. And the ratings were a disaster. So I was surprised when Fox picked it up for a second season. But I am not shocked that they cancelled it. I am just surprised they waited so long to say so long.
