Emmys host or no host?
At this morning’s Emmy nomination announcement, Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma and 2019 Emmy show producers Don Mischer and Ian Stewart told me no decision has been made about whether to have a host this year. In fact, Mischer tells Deadline they have not even made any offers.
“On the host front let me just say this. This is like the starting line today. We now have nine weeks to put this together. Our job is to make the best possible show out of this extraordinary material, and remind the world and our viewers in a very interesting and way about all that’s going on and all the positive aspects of television,” Mischer said. “Now we can do that with a host, and we can do it a host. We’ve done it both ways… We’re not feeling pressure about a host.
Mischer mentions that because of the Kevin Hart thing the Oscar show was put in a bit of a defensive position. That is not the case for the Emmys he says. “We clearly are not sure. We have made no offers and we may not make any offer that we want a host. It may be much better to put this show together a host since it has worked before and it allows us to be a little more unpredictable, so these are decisions yet to be made.
