Anthony Anderson will host the 75th Emmy Awards evening of laughs! On January 15, 2024, the comedian and actor will take over hosting duties for an evening that will likely bring down the house.

Originally set for September 2023, the ceremony got delayed by protests from industry crews. But with Hollywood back in action, there was no return that could be anything but triumphant. "We get to go on with what we love," Anderson said. "We dress up and celebrate ourselves."

Choosing Anderson as host was something that just felt right. His comedic timing, infectious enthusiasm, and long-running tie to the Emmys—which have seen him nominated 11 times over for his work on black-ish—made him the perfect pick.

"After Anthony hosted our upcoming show, 'We Are Family,' we knew he'd be a natural fit," said Unscripted Programming President of Fox Entertainment Allison Wallach. And Anderson's resume speaks for itself. From stints in Emmy-winning specials "Live in Front of a Studio Audience" to hosting "To Tell the Truth," he has never been a stranger to being in the spotlight. His most recent journey, "Trippin' with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris," just recently concluded its European voyage, where his comic chemistry with his mom was on display.

The 75th Emmys are meaningful to Anderson beyond just another hosting gig. "When Fox asked me to host this historic telecast," he said, "I was over the moon." He is excited about the concept of getting to spend his Sunday night as part of a night dedicated to excellence in television and spreading that live magic across the nation.

So, circle January 15th in your calendar and be prepared for a night of laughs, tears, and unforgettable moments. With Anthony Anderson backing it up as the host of the evening, the 75th Emmy Awards would certainly result in a celebration that viewers would remember for a long time.
