CBS finally got something right when it comes to their big event programming. Today, they announced that Cedric the Entertainer will be hosting the Emmys on Sunday, September 19th.
“Since I was a little boy huddled up next to my grandmother, television has always been my reliable friend, so it is an enormous honor for me to host this year’s Emmy Awards,” said Cedric the Entertainer. “Throughout the roller-coaster of a year that we have all lived through, television has helped us stay connected as a society like never before. It not only entertained us, but as it always has, it helped to open our eyes, educate us, and hopefully brought about a better understanding of who we are as a people. I can’t wait to take the stage to celebrate all of the great shows and performances that made us laugh, cry, dance and sing over the past year.”
Hopefully, his CBS sitcom The Neighborhood will get a nomination, but I doubt it because it is a broadcast network show.
When will we find out what shows will be nominated for television’s biggest night? Tomorrow morning at 8:30a PT on Emmys.com.
