Jimmy Kimmel will return as host for the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards. The 52-year-old presenter - who previously fronted the ceremony in 2012 and 2016 - will also serve as executive producer for the annual event, which will broadcast on ABC on 20 September.
He said in a statement: "I don't know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it." Additional details regarding production and format of the show will be announced at a later date.
Event organisers explained they had chosen Jimmy to return as host for the ceremony because of the "much-needed joy and optimism" he will bring to the show.
