The Emmys air at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC and stream on Peacock.
Thompson, the veteran “Saturday Night Live” cast member taking his first turn as Emmys host, said he wants to enjoy the ceremony and make sure others do.
He doesn't expect anything mirroring the Will Smith-Chris Rock confrontation that cast a shadow over the Oscars earlier this year, Thompson said. On the comedy side, ABC's acclaimed newcomer “Abbott Elementary” could become the first broadcast show to win the best comedy award since the network's “Modern Family” in 2014. It's also among the few contenders this year, along with “Squid Game,” to field a substantial number of nominees of color.
