Seth Meyers Named Emmys Host
Late Night’s Seth Meyers will host the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, Monday, August 25th on NBC (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT). The event takes place at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles.
“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, President, Late Night and Alternative Programming, NBC Entertainment.
Earlier this week Meyers, who is also an Emmy winner, was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world for 2014.
The network is scheduling the awards show earlier this year to avoid conflicting with NFL football. It was either that or have Peyton Manning host.
