Yesterday, Fox announced that this year’s Emmys will not have a host. When Tom Bergeron heard the news, he was envious. He wrote, “If only they’d done that in 2008. I still get facial tics thinking about it 🤣”
You see back in 2008, he hosted TV’s biggest night with Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, and Ryan Seacrest. It was Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosting the Oscars bad. It was even worse than Rob Lowe singing with Snow White at the Oscars. Therefore, you can understand why he does not want anyone else to go through what he went through. Not everyone can be as good as Billy Crystal (the first few times) and Hugh Jackman.
When it comes to the Emmys going hostless, I am a traditionalist and prefer a host. Too late now. Granted whoever turned them down got lucky because this year’s noms are as boring as Michael Che and Colin Jost hosting last year’s show. Personally, I wish they would have given Seth MacFarlane another chance to host a big show. The Oscars were just not his calling.
How do you feel about there being a host at this year’s shindig on September 22nd?
