Before wishing everyone an early start to a great summer, Mr. Kimmel sent out a tweet Monday morning saying:
“I am hosting the #Emmys on Sunday Sept 18. Until then, have a great summer.”
Kimmel hosted the Emmys for the first time in 2012, which was also the last time ABC had rights to broadcast. Since then Neil Patrick Haris, Seth Meyers, and Andy Samberg have all hosted the annual event.
In an official, non-tweet statement Jimmy also stated: “I am excited to be hosting the Emmys again. I have a feeling I’m going to be great.”
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey than added:
“Jimmy Kimmel is the consummate showman. With Kimmel at the helm, expect to be at the edge of your seat for a bigger, bolder, and better-than-ever Emmy event.”
Emmy nominations will be announced on July 14. Have a great next 6 months!
