Anthony Anderson has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards, and now he’ll be presiding over January’s strike-delayed ceremony.
The Fox network announced Anderson will host the Jan. 15 ceremony, which honours the best shows, performances and other work on television.
The Emmys are traditionally held in September but have moved into Hollywood’s traditional awards season because of this year’s actors and writers strikes.
Succession is the leading nominee for its final season, with other HBO series such as The White Lotus and The Last of Us also receiving multiple nominations.
Anderson is a seven-time leading comedy actor nominee for his starring role in the ABC series black-ish. The show ended its groundbreaking eight-season run in 2022.
Anderson is no stranger to headlining an awards show – he served as host of the NAACP Image Awards for eight years.
