The host for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards has been officially announced, with Anthony Anderson set to preside over the ceremony scheduled for January 15, 2024. The awards show, taking place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater in the Los Angeles Live complex, has been eagerly anticipated, especially after facing delays.
Expressing his excitement, Anthony Anderson commented on the announcement, stating, “With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honouring ourselves. And there’s no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards.”
He humorously added, “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.”
The decision to have Anderson as the host comes after his success with hosting the game show “We Are Family” alongside his mother, Doris Bowman. The positive response to their hosting dynamic on the game show led Fox Network to recognize Anderson’s potential as the host for the Primetime Emmys.
Allison Wallach, President of Fox Entertainment unscripted programming, expressed confidence in Anderson’s abilities, stating, “After Anthony hosted our upcoming show We Are Family, we knew he’d be a natural fit for a star-studded, anticipatory night like the Emmys. Anthony’s known for his humour, heart and spontaneity, so he’s sure to give audiences in the theatre and at home a night they’ll never forget.”
The 75th Primetime Emmys, a significant milestone in the world of television, is expected to be a night of celebration, recognition, and entertainment, with Anderson’s hosting adding a touch of humor and spontaneity to the proceedings. Jesse Collins Entertainment will be producing the telecast, with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay serving as executive producers.
