The producers of Sunday night’s Primetime Emmy Awards tell Deadline they’ve got a “great moment” planned with former Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel.
Kimmel was among 54 presenters announced this morning. He’s already won one Emmy this year (Outstanding Variety Special Live, for the 96th Academy Awards) and could pick up two more trophies at next Sunday’s Awardscast.
The Tonight Show‘s move to Friday repeats puts Fallon in line with Kimmel, Colbert and Meyers. “As a group, we have a little text chain of all the late-night talk show hosts,” Kimmel told reporters backstage at this weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys. “All of us sent our congratulations to Jimmy Fallon for getting Friday off.” [via Deadline]
