The Emmys are just over a month away, and today the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences and NBC announced that Kenan Thompson will be hosting Television’s biggest night on September 12th.
“Being a part of this incredible evening where we honor the best of the television community is ridiculously exciting, and to do it on NBC – my longtime network family – makes it even more special,” Thompson said. “Like all TV fans, I can’t wait to see the stars from my favorite shows.”
I think it is a great consolation prize for cancelling his hilarious sitcom, Kenan. That and it is truly deserved. Because who doesn’t like Kenan? And there is a reason why everyone loves him. He is a really nice guy, from what I hear! We need to support the good ones, and this is a great start.
BTW Did you know he is going into his 20th season as a member of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players on Saturday Night? What a September for Kenan, who is getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday!
He might not be an overnight success, but he is a success.
