Seth Meyers to host the Emmy Awards
The “Late Night” host not only was named one of Time's 100 most influential people, NBC has tapped him to host this year's Emmys. Meyers becomes the 4th-straight “Late Night” host to helm the primetime Emmys on NBC (Jimmy Fallon did it in 2010, Conan O'Brien hosted in 2002 and 2006.) “Seth”s expertise and ease in front of a live audience during his time at ‘SNL,” as well as his comedic brilliance both as a writer and in front of the camera on ‘SNL” and ‘Late Night,” makes him the perfect choice to host the Emmys,” said Paul Telegdy, Meyers' late-night boss who's also in charge of alternative programming for NBC.
