As you might already know, the Emmys this year are on ABC so an insider must do the job, and according to the networks official statement, Jimmy Kimmel is the perfect person for the role.
Although this would be Kimmel's first time at the Emmys, in the past he has hosted Espy Awards and also American Music Awards, not to mention his weekly late-night talk show.
Last year, “Glee's” star Jane Lynch hosted the awards for FOX and in 2010 Jimmy Fallon for NBC. “I hope to be able to do for the Emmys this year what Eddie Murphy did for the Oscars” Kimmel said in the press release.
The 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, are set to air on September 23 and will take place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
