Jimmy Kimmel Hosting 2012 Emmy Awards

Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the 2012 Emmy Awards!

The 44-year-old late night host will hit the stage at the Nokia Theatre on September 23 – it’s Jimmy‘s first time hosting the event.

Jimmy will work under the direction of Don Mischer, who recently directed the Oscars and will serve as executive producer of the Emmys.
