The greatly delayed 75th annual Primetime Emmys are only a month away, but the ceremony finally has a host: Anthony Anderson. The “Black-ish” star will helm the January 15, 2024, telecast on Fox, live at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt from downtown Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater (formerly the Microsoft) at the L.A. Live complex.
“With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves,” Anderson said in a statement. “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.”
Earlier this fall, Fox announced that Anderson had been named the new host of its upcoming game show “We Are Family,...

TV characters often feel like friends, especially if we spend time with them week after week.
Saying goodbye is always tough. But it's worse when the characters don't even get the send-off they deserve.
There have been many awful send-offs, ranging from characters just disappearing, never to be heard from again, to being killed off in ridiculous ways.
Many characters seem to suffer from Chuckie Cunningham Syndrome -- here one week, gone the next, never to be heard from again.
Every classic series does this.

Golden Girls' pilot featured Coco, a gay servant who quietly disappeared before the show's official first episode.
All in the Family had a decent send-off for Henry Jefferson, but after his going-away party, he disappeared from the characters' memories as well as from the Jeffersons' home.
And of course, there's Chuckie Cunningham himself, who went upstairs one day and never came down.

Marisa Tomei was planning to go to the Cannes Film Festival to promote her role opposite Isabelle Huppert in “Frankie” when Norman Lear called her cell phone. The 96-year-old “All in the Family” creator was planning a one-of-a-kind live broadcast of his treasured ABC sitcom, alongside its spinoff, “The Jeffersons,” on May 22. He wanted Tomei to portray bigoted family man Archie Bunker’s wife, Edith, a role originally played by Jean Stapleton for a decade.
“I couldn’t wrap my head around it at all,” Tomei said over lunch in Manhattan’s West Village a month after the broadcast. “I just thought none of this should be done in any format again. It was so perfect. Why are we even talking about this?”
Eventually, she relented, and the result is one of the most fascinating curveballs in the Tomei’s nearly 40-year career. As Edith, the actress buried herself under...
