There have been rumors that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences asked The Rock and Chris Rock to host this year’s Emmys. How Rockin’ would that be?
So far, there has been radio silence from both actors. But then, Chris Rock’s people told Entertainment Tonight, “He’s in the middle of his tour and is preparing for the taping of his comedy special, which will be taping this fall.”
Now that ET knows the comedian’s answer, what about DJ? “It was just schedule. I was really, truly honored when they came to me and asked, but it was just a scheduling thing,” he told ET. “That’s all. That’s really what it comes down to.”
The Emmys air on September 12th on NBC. So I betcha they are going to ask someone from Saturday Night Live to do it. I just hope and pray it is not Pete Davidson. It is going to be Pete Davidson. And now I am mad at the Rocks for making us suffer through that.
