Emmy Award-winning actress Jane Lynch of Glee fame will be hosting 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 18 on FOX. I can’t wait to see how the conniving Sue Sylvester will handle the hosting duties. I smell a musical number… but could it possibly top last year’s Jimmy Fallon sensation of which Lynch was apart? Here are some bite-size quotes for you from important people and such concerning the news.

John Shaffner, Chairman and CEO, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences: “We’re delighted to have Jane Lynch host the Primetime Emmys this year. When our host has comedic, dramatic and musical talents – as Jane proved in last year’s opening number – we know it’s going to be fun for us and for the audience at home!”

Mark Burnett, executive producer: “Jane was my first – and only – choice as the host for this year’s Primetime Emmys, and I am glad she said ‘yes.’ She has incredible comedic timing, and is a charismatic, talented actress whose energy leaps off the screen and stage. I am thrilled and excited to have her as our host.”

Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company: “Jane Lynch is one of the most gifted and entertaining actresses in film and television today, and we are thrilled she will be hosting the Primetime Emmys on FOX. With her background in improvisation, her incredible comedic timing and a worldwide fan base that spans all ages, Jane is the perfect person to help us make this year’s show absolutely unforgettable.”

And here’s one from Lynch herself: “I am tickled pink to be hosting the Primetime Emmys on FOX. I’m looking forward to singing, dancing and sporting my finest tracksuit.”
