In a Year of Two Emmy Ceremonies, Why Not Have a Couple Host September’s Show?
In his Awards Circuit column, Michael Schneider has a couple of ideas for Emmys host — including an actual couple: Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney.
Back in February 1952, the fourth-ever Primetime Emmy Awards were hosted by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, the married couple behind “I Love Lucy,” from the Cocoanut Grove at the now-demolished Ambassador Hotel. It’s on my mind as we play the classic awards parlor game of “Who’s Gonna Host This Thing?” — and with less than two months before the Emmys take place on Sept. 15, we’re running out of time for this year’s emcee to properly prep for the gig. The real fun would be reuniting on-screen couples and non-romantic duos from past TV shows — sort of a successor idea to January’s cast reunions, which included “Cheers,” “Martin” and “Ally McBeal.”
