Talk show host Seth Meyers will host the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, NBC and the Television Academy announced April 24.

Meyers is currently host of Late Night with Seth Meyers on NBC, taking over the slot left open when Jimmy Fallon moved down the hall to succeed Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show. Prior to hosting Late Night, Meyers was a regular on Saturday Night Live between 2001 and earlier this year.

“Seth is such a talented performer and writer, and we know he will bring something unique to hosting the Primetime Emmy Awards,” said Bruce Rosenblum, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy.

The ceremony will be held Aug. 25 at the Nokia Theatre and be televised by NBC.

This will be Meyers’ first time hosting the ceremony.

“Seth’s expertise and ease in front of a live audience during his time at ‘SNL’ as well as his comedic brilliance both as a writer and in front of the camera on ‘SNL’ and ‘Late Night,’ makes him the perfect choice to host the Emmys,” NBC Entertainment’s president of late night and alternative programming Paul Telegdy said.

NBC and the Television Academy also announced tonight that Don Mischer will be the executive producer of the Emmy telecast; Charlie Haykel and Julianne Hare will produce with Mischer.

The Emmy Awards honors excellence in television through several ceremonies. First awarded in 1949, there are two ceremonies anchoring the Emmy Awards: Primetime Emmys and Daytime Emmys.

Primetime Emmys are generally held at the end of summer and just ahead of the beginning of the start of the fall television season.

Other Emmy Award ceremonies held throughout the year include: Technology and Engineering Emmys; Sports Emmys; News and Documentary Emmys; and, International Emmys.

Meyers, 40, was known for his work on Saturday Night Live as the anchor of the news parody “Weekend Update.” He has also starred in a few film and television programs, including Spin City, The Mindy Project, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Nick and Noah’s Infinite Playlist, and New Year’s Eve.
