No decision on Emmy host has been made -- nobody has been offered the job

Deadline

With two months to go before the 71st Academy Awards, producers Don Mischer and Ian Stewart say they still haven't made a decision on whether to go hostless this year. “On the host front, let me just say this: This is like the starting line today,” he said. “We now have nine weeks to put this together," says Mischer, who has produced hostless Emmy ceremonies before. "Our job is to make the best possible show out of this extraordinary material and remind the world and our viewers in a very interesting and unpredictable way about all that’s going on and all the positive aspects of television. Now we can do that with a host, and we can do it without a host. We’ve done it both ways. … We’re not feeling pressure about a host. We may have one, we may not have one, but it’s not critical to us. The first thing to do is to shape the program and figure out how best to get this extraordinary work across.”
