And there's no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards. When Fox asked me to host this historic telecast, I was over the moon that Taylor Swift was unavailable, and now I can't wait to be part of the biggest night in television."

Anderson has been a fixture at the Emmys for the past decade, earning 11 nominations for his work on ABC's black-ish as a star and executive producer on the comedy series' eight-season run.

HBO's Succession leads this year's Emmy nominations, with 27 -- including best drama, lead actress (Sarah Snook), and a record three lead actor noms (Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, and Jeremy Strong).
