W. Kamau Bell Named Host of 45th Annual Documentary Emmy Awards
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has tapped W. Kamau Bell, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning stand-up comedian, as the host of the 45th Annual Documentary Emmy Awards on Sept. 26.
Last year, Bell earned a Children’s & Family Emmy Award for outstanding non-fiction program for “1000% Me: the Growing Up Mixed.”
“When we met Kamau at the Children’s and Family Emmys with his daughters Samaiyah and Juno, we knew he’d be a compelling and entertaining host,” said Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS. “His sensitivity and expertise is a perfect fit, especially for the documentary community.”
The 45th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards take place live at the Palladium Times Square in New York City and will be streamed live on NATAS’ dedicated viewing platform, as well as be available on the web at watch.theemmys.tv and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV and Roku.
