Amy Poehler On Emmys Not Having Celebrity Host: 'It Seems Cool'

Amy Poehler is all smiles while speaking during the Fox segment of the 2019 TCA Summer Press Tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Wednesday (August 7) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

While promoting her new Fox animated series Duncanville, the 47-year-old writer-actress-producer told the crowd that Fox’s confirmed plan to go without a host for the 2019 Emmy Awards sounds “cool” to her.

“The Oscars went well without a host,” Amy, who has co-hosted the Golden Globes multiple times, expressed (via Deadline). “The Emmys will too. It seems cool not to have a host.”

“Those shows are a beast,” Amy continued. “People who produce those shows have a specific and hard job. They do a great job. It should just be a fun party.”

Amy Poehler was joined at the panel by Ty Burrell, Julie and Mike Scully, Michael Thorn, Ike Barinholtz, Emily Spivey, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller of Bless the Harts.

The 2019 Emmys are set to air on September 22. Check out the full list of Emmy nominations if you haven’t already seen!
