Anthony Anderson, best known for his role in Black-ish, has been revealed as the host of the 75th Emmy Awards, which will take place next month following delays caused by WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

The three-hour ceremony is set to air on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 15, 2024. Day.

In a statement, he acknowledged the industry’s difficulties during the nearly four-month-long protest against studios and streaming services.

“With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves,” he said.

“And there’s no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards.”

The father-of-two also expressed his excitement about hosting the historic event, saying, “When Fox asked me to host this historic telecast, I was over the moon that Taylor Swift was unavailable, and now I can’t wait to be part of the biggest night in television.”

Wallach applauded Anderson’s comedy, emotion, and spontaneity after witnessing his abilities after stepping up last month, ensuring that fans both in the theater and at home are in for a fantastic night.
