Seacrest to host Emmy Awards


August 21, 2007 Fox on Monday tapped "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest to emcee the network's broadcast of the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 16. "Ryan Seacrest is a consummate host of major live broadcast events and a proven talent who always makes it easy, which makes him the perfect choice for this year's Emmy telecast," said Mike Darnell, Fox's president of alternative entertainment. While Seacrest is a logical choice for Fox, he is a somewhat unorthodox pick for the Emmy ceremony, which usually is fronted by a comedian.
