Gina Rodriguez, Cat Deeley, Ken Jeong, and More Cast as Creative Arts Emmy Presenters
The Creative Arts Emmys have long been the place where A-list onscreen talent recognizes and celebrates A-list behind-the-scenes talent, as well as nominees in key categories like Guest Actor/Actress and Reality TV Host. That tradition continues this year, and the Television Academy has unveiled the first lineup of celebrity presenters taking the stage at at this year’s ceremony (Sept. 12 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles). Among the presenters are Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin), Ken Jeong (Dr. Ken), Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Fred Willard (Modern Family), and Bradley Whitford (Transparent), who also happens to be a nominee in the Outstanding Guest Actor on a Comedy Series category.
And Whitford isn’t the only nominated performer pulling double duty. Mel Brooks (Outstanding Guest Actor for The Comedians), Beau Bridges (Outstanding Guest Actor for Masters of Sex), Cat Deeley (Outstanding Host for So You Think You Can Dance), and Allison Janey (Outstanding Supporting Actress for Mom) are also participating as presenters. The Creative Arts Emmys will air on FXX on Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. Viewers can also stream the ceremony on Sept. 20 — i.e. Emmy Night — starting at 3 p.m. ET on Emmys.com, Yahoo.com, and Fox.com.
The 67th Emmy Awards air Sept. 20 on Fox. Be sure to tune into Yahoo’s 67th Emmy Awards red carpet, live on Sept. 20 at 3:30 p.m. PT/ 6:30 p.m. ET.
