LOS ANGELES: Popular actor-comic Kenan Thompson will host the 74th version of the Emmy Awards, NBC and the Television Academy have introduced collectively.

Thompson, recognized for his work on the late-night comedy present “Saturday Night Live” and scripted exhibits equivalent to “Kenan and Kel”, stated he’s trying ahead to the awards ceremony.

“Being a part of this incredible evening where we honour the best of the television community is ridiculously exciting, and to do it on NBC – my longtime network family – makes it even more special. Like all TV fans, I can’t wait to see the stars from my favourite shows,” Thompson stated in a press release issued on Tuesday night time.

“Kenan is well-regarded as one of the funniest, likeable and accomplished performers of the last two decades and his tenure on Saturday Night Live speaks for itself. We know he’ll bring excitement and professionalism to the Emmy Awards that a show of this stature deserves,” added Jen Neal, Executive Vice President of Live Events for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.

The 2022 Emmy Awards will probably be a three-hour, coast-to-coast stay telecast from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Scheduled for a September 12 premiere, the occasion will start at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on NBC and also will stream on Peacock.

In India, Lionsgate Play subscribers will have the ability to watch the annual award ceremony from 5.30 am onwards on September 13.
