Who is hosting the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards?

The strike-delayed 75th Emmy Awards are airing Monday night from Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES — The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are making their grand return Monday after a four-month delay.

Television's annual celebration, typically held in September, was pushed to January as a result of the historic Hollywood strikes. The ceremony is now happening in the heart of Hollywood's traditional awards season. 

Who is hosting the Emmys?

The strike-delayed Emmy Awards are airing Monday night from Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, with Anthony Anderson hosting the ceremony.

The “black-ish” star is tasked with hosting at a time when emceeing awards shows is hardly a coveted job, especially after comic Jo Koy was widely roasted for his Golden Globes performance last weekend.

He said he's coming in relaxed and relieved, because for the first time in nearly a decade, he's not a nominee. He never won an Emmy despite 11 nominations as a producer and actor for his former show, “black-ish.”

“All the pressure is off of me now,” Anderson, now the host of Fox's “We Are Family,” said during ceremony preparations. "I don’t have to sit there and wonder, am I going to win? Am I going to get it? What time are they going to get to this category? I just get to come up here and be myself.”

The "black-ish" actor is a seasoned host as he's emceed the NAACP Image Awards eight times.

What time do the Emmys start?

The show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern and is being shown live on Fox, which is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers.
