Leslie Jones has been tapped to host this year’s Emmy nominations, with the “Saturday Night Live” alum joined — virtually, of course — by presenters including Laverne Cox, Josh Gad and Canada’s own Tatiana Maslany.
According to the announcement from the Television Academy, “production restrictions” surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have led this year’s nominations to be “reimagined as a virtual event.”
“Television has played an integral role in navigating these unprecedented times and has brought us together as we remain apart,” said Frank Scherma, Television Academy chairman and CEO, in a statement.
