Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego, 77th Emmy Awards executive producers Jesse Collins and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay, and host Nate Bargatze roll out the Red Carpet at the Emmy Awards Press Preview on Thursday, Sept 11, 2025, at LA Convention Center in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • He hosts the 77th Primetime Emmys on Sunday in Los Angeles, his first turn as emcee.
  • He has pledged $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, with $1,000 deducted for every second a winner speaks past a 45-second limit, and he says club members will be in the room.
  • He frames the telecast as fast, fun and family-friendly, steering clear of politics and celebrity roasts in favor of self-deprecating jokes.
  • He says topical lines about Stephen Colbert’s CBS late-night cancellation are possible, though not yet decided and not intended to be mean.
  • The ceremony airs live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET from the Peacock Theatre and streams on Paramount+.
