Finding the funny. Kenan Thompson teased his high energy plans for hosting the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards — and he doesn’t plan to ask his fellow Saturday Night Live costars for a hand.
“I have not been in touch with [previous hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost], necessarily,” the Kenan and Kel alum, 44, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published on Tuesday, September 6. “I’m going to be pretty straightforward — a good monologue and keeping the energy up will be my approach. I enjoy honoring artistry and creativity.”
Thompson added that he feels “great” about hosting the show on Monday, September 12.
“There’s a great team that’s involved. I definitely don’t feel like I’m floating out there by myself. I’m really excited about it. There’s some great pieces coming together,” he continued. “For me, [the biggest challenge is] waiting. Waiting on the day, waiting on the moment, waiting on that first laugh. Getting into it and getting it done. Everything else are things I’ve been doing all my life — rehearsals, writing.”
Earlier that day, Thompson teased that had reached out to Lizzo to join him on stage during the show. “It’s coming together, kind of,” he confessed during an appearance on Today, describing the evening’s musical number as “an eclectic mix of tunes.”
He continued: “I think you’ve got to have some music. It’s the Academy. You need something grandiose.”
