Ryan Seacrest, host of top-rated television show "American Idol," has been picked to host the primetime Emmy Awards when they air in September.
The Emmys are the U.S. TV industry's top honors, and they are traditionally hosted by A-list TV stars including recent emcees Ellen DeGeneres and Conan O'Brien.

Seacrest "is a consummate host of major live broadcast events and a proven talent who always makes it look easy, which makes him the perfect choice for this year's Emmy telecast," Mark Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at the Fox television network, said in a statement.

Fox, which broadcasts singing talent show "American Idol," also airs the Emmys this year.

Seacrest, 32, is known for his spiky hair, bright smile and witty banter with "Idol" judges including the often critical Simon Cowell. The affable Seacrest sometimes defends show contestants if judges' criticism seems too harsh or personal.

Seacrest is also a managing editor and anchor for cable TV's "E! News," has served as a guest host for the popular "Larry King Live" talk show, and has hosted other awards shows. He has worked in radio since the age of 16.

"(He) appeals to a broad audience ... so he should serve as a magnet for attracting a diverse array of viewers to our Emmy telecast," said Dick Askin, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which awards the Emmys.

The 59th Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, September 16, from Los Angeles.

[littlebreeze122]

i think he is pretty much the only host Fox has so im not surprised they picked him. besides, it's more free promotion for Idol, I bet thats why Ryan will host the super bowl as well. More viewers for Idol! (even though they are already nr 1)

"Yes!" *machine explodes* .. Homer would be 10 times the host seacrest is. he's a complete douchebag. He's not funny, and I don't even know how he came to be. I was told he was on mtv or something. go figure. Another fag from mtv makes it big because yuppies in the u.s, are of minimal intelligence.
