Neil Patrick Harris has been nabbed to host the 61st annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
The co-star of How I Met Your Mother will preside over the CBS broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 20.
Says Harris of his upcoming hosting duties:
"After having had such a hoot hosting the Tonys, I was thrilled to get the call about the Primetime Emmys. I'm looking forward to the challenge of the show - adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television. But which voice to choose? I'm torn between gangsta, foppish Brit and robot. Really proud of my robot. We'll see what happens on the night."
Chandra Wilson (Grey's Anatomy) and Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory) join Television Academy chair John Shaffner to announce the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards Nominations on Thursday, July 16, at 5:35 a.m. PST.
