TV’s biggest night has been hosted through many notable Hollywood names over the years.
Stephen Colbert is a 45-time Emmy nominee and a 10-time winner, but he also has enjoy web hosting the tournament. He was once tapped to host the 69th annual rite in 2017.
The Colbert Report alum opened the display with a big musical number. He recruited stars including Anthony Anderson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Chance the Rapper and Allison Janney to take part.
Comedians like Colbert were successful in hosting the display over the years. In the previous, cast contributors and alum from Saturday Night Live have stepped up to the plate. Eddie Murphy hosted in 1983 along fellow comic Joan Rivers, while Jimmy Fallon hosted the match in 2010. Seth Meyers additionally hosted the Emmys in 2014.
In 2018, the Emmys continued the tradition of SNL hosts — however this time not with out controversy. Michael Che and Colin Jost were asked to host for the 2018 rite. A month before the major match, Jost stirred up controversy for slamming awards presentations.
“I believe most of the time they’re way too self-serious and fascinated with things that 99 p.c of the country doesn’t care about,” the A Very Punchable Face writer advised the Los Angeles Times in August 2018. “At the end of the day, it’s adults getting trophies. Why must that be taken critically?”
Jost then made a dig at titles that have won at past ceremonies, including, “And take note when movies like Gladiator gained absolute best picture? Why can’t good, fun things win and now not simply good artsy issues? They’re both excellent, and the fun ones are sometimes a lot tougher to make.”
Though the 2019 ceremony went hostless, Jimmy Kimmel was once requested to take on the position for the 2020 match in spite of the COVID-19 disaster still being underway. “I don’t know where we will do this or how we will be able to do that and even why we're doing this,” Kimmel said in June 2020, according to Variety. “But we are doing it and I am hosting it.”
Prior to 2020, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! megastar hosted the Emmys in 2012 and in 2016. In previous years, Kimmel hosted the Academy Awards in 2017 and 2018.
As the coronavirus pandemic ebbed and flowed, the Emmys attempted to return to normalcy. Following Cedric the Entertainer in 2021, Kenan Thompson was announced as the host for the 74th annual awards display in 2022.

“I’m going to be pretty simple — a excellent monologue and maintaining the power up shall be my way. I revel in honoring artistry and creativity,” the SNL great told the Los Angeles Times ahead of the September 2022 ceremony. “There’s a great group that’s involved. I certainly don’t really feel like I’m floating out there alone. I’m in point of fact enthusiastic about it. There’s some great items coming in combination. For me, [the biggest challenge is] waiting. Waiting on the day, waiting on the second, ready on that first snicker. Getting into it and getting it done.”
