Andy Samberg will host this year's Emmy Awards
Fox and the TV Academy have found their host for this year's Emmy Awards in Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg. Samberg is the second SNL alum to host the awards show (Seth Meyers hosted last year), and his hiring for the gig shouldn't come as a surprise: Fox recently renewed Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a third season, so Samberg and the network will have a huge platform for cross-promotion.
The 67th annual Emmys will air from Los Angeles' Nokia Theater on Sunday, September 20 on Fox.
