AceShowbiz - The 2019 Emmy Awards will be staged without a host.
Fox TV bosses have confirmed they have not hired a celebrity to front the annual event, which will take place in Los Angeles next month (September 2019).
It will mark the first time the prizegiving has been hostless since 2003.
The news, announced on Wednesday, August 7, comes six months after Academy Awards bosses opted not to replace Kevin Hart when he backed out as the Oscars' host at the end of last year (2018).
Last year, the Emmys were hosted by "Saturday Night Live" stars Michael Che and Colin Jost, while past hosts have included comedians and late night TV hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers.
