The Emmys are taking a cue from the Oscars this year and going hostless, Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier told TV critics Wednesday.
“We’ve been working hard at the Emmys, and The Emmys will not have a host this year,” Collier said at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour. “We’re so proud to host the Emmys, but no one will say ‘That is Fox’s Emmy’s.’ We’re happy to have it this year, we’ll pass it on to another network partner next year — so our job is to assess how to elevate the program in the year we’re lucky enough to broadcast it.”
