With just three months until the telecast and no host yet named, insiders confirm that themay go without one for the first time since 2003 . But they also caution that nothing has been decided, and the perfect host may still come along and be hired.
By that point it will be clear which shows will be honored at the Emmys. But the frontrunners are expected to include several landmark shows that are ending their runs, including HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “Veep.” The conventional wisdom was that the Oscars show succeeded because the attention was focused on the year’s big movies, which happened to also have wide appeal, such as “A Star Is Born,” “The Green Book,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Black Panther” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” And indeed, the show’s ratings improved by 12 percent among viewers and 13 percent with adults 18-49.
The 2018 Emmy Awards on NBC averaged a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 10.2 million viewers, making it the least-watched Emmys on record. Going host-less might also stir some interest from viewers who, like this year’s Oscars, might want to check out what the producers have in mind instead, and also want to see the casts from shows like “Game of Thrones” united on stage one last time.
